The information is provided to assist this organization in reaching its goals and mission as a non-profit, community service organization. This professional project is a compilation and analysis that draws conclusions and then recommends community action regarding plans developed by the City of Albuquerque, the County of Bernalillo, the University of New Mexico, School of Architecture & Planning, and various agencies and individuals from 1970 to 1995. The plans used in this document were developed to facilitate the planning process in regards to the regulation of land use, address issues of water rights, address agriculture preservation, transportation and other environmental and development decision making issues.
