ABQ City Planners present their vision to REALTORS®

As the important next step to NAR's "Smart Growth for the 21st Century" class, GAAR and CARNM have invited the project leaders of ABC-Z to present the city's new comprehensive plan for your review and comment.  To encourage smart growth and help redevelop Albuquerque to attract...

–  New businesses...and their talent
–  New development investors
–  More young, first-time home buyers and retirees

...the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County have been working together to simplify and improve our zoning.

As a REALTOR®, this is how we can change the residential and commercial landscape of the future – for better or worse. 

To ensure the new Albuquerque - Bernalillo County Comprehensive Plan works for businesses and residents alike, it is critical that REALTORS® understand and provide input into the new plan on behalf of your clients.

If you missed the Smart Growth for the 21st Century Class, here are a few quick points about Smart Growth.

Smart Growth components include:

  • Homes for all incomes,
  • Jobs,
  • Schools,
  • Open spaces,
  • An adequate supply of desirable destinations and services, and
  • Different ways to reach those destinations by foot, bicycle, public transit, and private automobile

The movement is about recognizing and understanding the various facets of a vibrant community and maintaining balance among them.
