Volcano Heights Neighborhood Plan - <br />Albuquerque, New Mexico <br />Project Contact: Mikaela Renz-Whitmore | 505.924.3932 | Mrenz@cabq.gov <br />Site Details <br />570 Acres <br />Scope/Services <br />Form-Based Code <br />Fiscal Impact Study <br />Traffic Analysis <br />Public Engagement <br />Stakeholder Meeting <br />Adoption Process <br />Cost <br />$300,000 <br />Potential Value <br />$1 Billion <br />Start/Completion Date <br />2011 - 2013 <br />Originally scoped as a review of the July 2010 Volcano Heights Sector Development Plan, the City of <br />Albuquerque decided to utilize the skills of Gateway Planning Group to assist the City with a complete city <br />initiated form-based zoning effort. Through stakeholder focus groups and landowner meetings, as well as <br />significant City Department meetings, the City and Gateway Planning developed a vision consensus to base the <br />form-based zoning tool. Through internal vetting and public feedback, the Plan has been reformatted to include <br />the heavy policy issues of a typical sector plan and the visual development and building design standards that <br />are common in form-based zoning documents. <br />Volcano Heights is an interesting example of scattered parcel ownership and numerous municipal departments <br />coming together to complete an innovative and detailed rezoning process, in order to ensure that the future <br />“major activity center” will develop with care of the market and the natural landscape around the plan area. <br />Inclusion of the Mid-Region Council of Governments (MRCOG) in the process has led to Gateway Planning’s <br />President, Scott Polikov, to begin giving insight to MRCOG as they begin to update their own Future Albuquerque <br />Area Bikeways and Streets (FAABS) document. <br />3100 McKinnon Street, 7th Floor, Dallas, TX 75201 | o. 817.348.9500 f. 214.451.1176 | www.gatewayplanning.com
