Albuquerque City Council Passes Zoning Package Reducing Neighborhood Coalition Power
What happened
The Albuquerque City Council passed a legislative zoning package, sponsored by Bill, that aims to cut red tape and spur development. The package removes formal recognition and appeal power from neighborhood coalitions and includes requests for state laws allowing municipalities to dictate zoning standards. The bills will become law if signed by Mayor Tim Keller.
