CPA Assessment Cycle

The assessment process is designed to enable residents, business owners, property owners, community groups, and other key stakeholders to shape the future of their community on an ongoing, proactive basis. The goal of the CPA assessments is to have more equitable planning for all Albuquerque communities through intentional, community-based engagement on a 10-year cycle. 

Planning staff works with the community to assess each CPA before every 10-year Comp Plan update. A team of three planners will spend a year in 2 CPAs per year for 6 years. Any recommendations to change City policies will be incorporated into an update to the ABC Comprehensive Plan.

Priority Analysis

Prior to the start of each cycle, Planning staff recommends an order for the CPA assessments based on priority. Planning staff analyzes data available for all 12 CPAs to identify those with high development pressure, low livability, and vulnerable populations. Those areas with a high need for more immediate planning attention are recommended to go first. City Council makes the final decision about the order of the CPA assessments.

  • If the recommendations are county-wide or city-wide, they would be included in the relevant chapter by topic.
