No Yes, my property is in an APO (Airport Protection Overlay) Yes, my property is in a CPO (Character Protection Overlay) Yes, my property is in an HPO (Historic Protection Overlay) Yes, my property is in a VPO (View Protection Overlay) Protections associated with Overlay Zones won’t affect your property. Continue to the next step. If you are in an Airport Protection Overlay (APO) zone, there are different development standards that prevail over citywide rules. Review IDO Subsection 14-16-3-3 for applicable standards. Continue to the next step to determine whether your property is in a Center or Corridor area with different development standards in the IDO. If you are in a Character Protection Overlay (CPO) zone, there are different development standards that prevail over citywide rules. Review IDO Subsection 14-16-3-4 for applicable standards. Continue to the next step to determine whether your property is in a Center or Corridor area with different development standards in the IDO. If you are in a Historic Protection Overlay (HPO) zone, there are different development standards and guidelines that prevail over citywide rules. Review IDO Subsection 14-16-3-5 for applicable standards. Development in HPO zones is also reviewed and decided through a different process. Review IDO Subsections 14-16-6-5(D) and 14-16-6-6(D) in the IDO. Continue to the next step to determine whether your property is in a Center or Corridor area with different development standards in the IDO. If you are in a View Protection Overlay (VPO) zone, there are different development standards and guidelines that prevail over citywide rules. Review Subsection 3-6 of the IDO. Deviations and Variances in VPO zones are reviewed and decided through a different process. Review Subsections 6-6(N) and 6-6(M) in the IDO. Continue to the next step to determine whether your property is in a Center or Corridor area with different development standards in the IDO. Which Center or Corridor(s) is your property in? My property is not in a Center or a Corridor area Downtown (DT) Urban Center (UC) Activity Center (AC) Employment Center (EC) Main Street (MS) Corridor Premium Transit (PT) Corridor Major Transit (MT) Corridor Select all that applyCenter and Corridor provisions will not apply to your property. Continue to the next step to determine whether your property is in an Area of Consistency or Area of Change. If any portion of your property is in a Center or Corridor area boundary, the Center/Corridor standards will apply to your entire property. Some provide incentives for more urban, walkable development (example: higher building heights allowed by right), and some are higher requirements to ensure active, pedestrian-oriented and transit-oriented development (example: higher-quality building design standards). Use Table III in the IDO to find all the provisions that are different for each Center or Corridor area. More information: Centers and Corridors are defined in IDO Section 14-16-7-1. Centers and Corridors are established by the ABC Comprehensive Plan. See the following chapters for related goals and policies: Chapter 3 Vision Chapter 5 Land Use Chapter 6 Transportation Chapter 7 Urban Design Continue to the next step to determine which City Development Area your property is in. Is Your Property in an Area of Consistency or Area of Change? Please select oneArea of ConsistencyArea of Change Adjacent to Area of ConsistencyArea of Change NOT Adjacent to an Area of Consistency You may be subject to contextual standards for residential development for setbacks and minimum lot sizes. See Subsection 5-1(C)(2). Sign allowances are different for Areas of Change or Consistency in the Mixed-use and Non-residential Zone Districts. See Table 5-12-4. Thresholds for Zoning Map Amendments that EPC can review and decide depend on whether the property is an Area of Change or Consistency. See Subsection 6-7(F) and 6-7(G). Requirements for Edge Buffers may apply. See IDO Subsection 5-6(E)(5). Sign allowances are different for Areas of Change or Consistency in the Mixed-use and Non-residential Zone Districts. See Table 5-12-4. Larger deviations are allowed on small lots in Areas of Change. See Table 6-4-2. The threshold for Minor Amendments is larger for small lots in Areas of Change. See Table 6-4-5. Thresholds for Zoning Map Amendments that EPC can review and decide depend on whether the property is an Area of Change or Consistency. See IDO Subsection 6-7(F). City Council decides on Zoning Map Amendments above that threshold. See IDO Subsection 6-7(G). Sign allowances are different for Areas of Change or Consistency in the Mixed-use and Non-residential Zone Districts. See Table 5-12-4. Larger deviations are allowed on small lots in Areas of Change. See Table 6-4-2. Thresholds for Zoning Map Amendments that EPC can review and decide depend on whether the property is an Area of Change or Consistency. See Subsection 6-7(F) and 6-7(G). The threshold for Minor Amendments is larger for small lots in Areas of Change. See Table 6-4-5. Is Your Property near Major Public Open Space? No, my property is not next to Major Public Open Space My property shares a property line with Major Public Open Space ("abutting") My property is across the street or alley from Major Public Open Space ("adjacent") My property is within 330 feet of Major Public Open Space (area with green hatched lines) Protections for Major Public Open Space won’t affect your property. Continue to the next step. If a portion of your property is abutting Major Public Open Space, this means that any standards about property adjacent to Major Public Open Space AND standards about property within 330 feet of Major Public Open Space will apply to your property. Select those options now to see what standards will apply. Note that a single-loaded road will be required between your property and Major Public Open Space, unless the Albuquerque Open Space Superintendent would rather have a 20-foot buffer landscaped with native vegetation. See IDO Subsection 14-16-5-2(H)(2)(a)(1). If your property is across the street, easement, or alley (i.e. adjacent) to Major Public Open Space, then all provisions that refer to properties within 330 feet of Major Public Open Space also apply to your property, unless there are specific provisions for adjacent properties, which would take precedence. Select the 330 feet option now to see additional provisions that may apply. Here are the things you should consider when your property is adjacent to Major Public Open Space: Use-specific Standards in IDO Subsection 4-3 may limit uses, change development standards, or change review/approval processes. Limits on uses adjacent to Major Public Open Space will apply. Major Public Open Space Edges in IDO Subsection 5-2(H) may require different development standards on your property. IDO Subsection 5-2(H)(2) will specifically apply. Properties 5 acres and greater adjacent to Major Public Open Space must get a Site Plan - EPC approved by the Environmental Planning Commission per IDO Subsection 6-6(H) before any other application can be approved. Here are the things you should consider when your property is within 330 feet of Major Public Open Space: Use-specific Standards in IDO Subsection 4-3 may limit uses, change development standards, or change review/approval processes. Limits on uses within 330 feet of Major Public Open Space will apply. Major Public Open Space Edges in IDO Subsection 5-2(H) may require different development standards on your property. Standards in IDO Subsection 5-2(H)(1) will specifically apply. Which small area provisions apply to your property, if any? Does your project include multi-family, mixed-use, or non-residential development? Yes No Edge buffers apply next to some zone districts. Use the maps and questions below to find out what zones are next to your property. Edge buffers for zoning don’t apply to your project. Continue to the next step to find out whether edge buffers are required for your use. What is the zoning next to your property? (Hint: Use this tool multiple times to check for edge buffers for different zones surrounding your property.) Please select oneR-AR-1R-MCR-TR-MLR-MHMX zoneNR zoneAn edge buffer is required. See Table 5-6-3. For mixed-use or non-residential development only, an edge buffer is required. See Table 5-6-3. Edge buffers are not required for MX and NR zones. Continue to Step 7. Does your project include any use in the Industrial category in Table 4-2-1: Allowable Uses? Yes No Does your project include any use in the Industrial category in Table 4-2-1: Allowable Uses? Use the map below to look up land uses surrounding your property. If you are next to properties with non-industrial development, an edge buffer is required. See Table 5-6-3. An edge buffer is not required for your use. Continue to Step 7. Use this map to see whether your property is in an Area of Change next to an Area of Consistency. Property shown in yellow is in an Area of Consistency. Property shown in orange is in an Area of Change. Is your property in an Area of Change? Please select oneNoYes, but I am not next to an Area of ConsistencyYes, and I share a property line or am across an alley from an Area of ConsistencyAn edge buffer is not required for your use. Continue to Step 7. An edge buffer is required. The size of the buffer depends on which zones are next to you in the Area of Consistency. See Table 5-6-4. Is your property zoned R-ML, R-MH, or any MX or NR zone district? Yes No Neighborhood Edges may apply if your property is next to low-density residential development in an R-A, R-1, R-MC, or R-T zone district. Indicate that below. Neighborhood Edge provisions will not apply to your property. Continue to Step 8 to look up other development standards that will apply generally in your zone district. Is your property next to an R-A, R-1, R-MC, or R-T zone district? Yes No Use the map above to check whether your property is next to any of these zone districts.Neighborhood Edge provisions will apply to your property. Buildings on your property within 100 feet of the Protected Lot cannot exceed 30 feet in height. See IDO Subsection 14-16-5-9(C). Outdoor lighting height is limited. See IDO Subsection 14-16-5-8(D)(7). Additional screening and buffering is required. See IDO Subsection 14-16-5-9(E). Parking, circulation, and loading is limited. See IDO Subsection 14-16-5-9(F). Continue to Step 8 to look up other development standards that will apply generally in your zone district. Neighborhood Edge provisions will not apply to your property.
