Albuquerque City Council, Environmental Planning Commission (EPC), and Zoning Hearing Examiner (ZHE) process zone map amendments, site plan approvals, and conditional uses under the Integrated Development Ordinance (IDO), which replaced the prior zoning code in 2018. The IDO consolidated all city zoning, subdivision, and design standards into a unified document, making EPC decisions on zone map amendments and site plans the primary entitlement pathway. Growth concentrates along the Paseo del Norte and I-25 corridors on the west side (Mesa del Sol, Volcano Heights) and in the International District and Nob Hill infill areas. Activity Center and Main Street overlay zones along Central Avenue (Historic Route 66) encourage mixed-use density with form-based standards.

The Albuquerque City Council approved Ordinance O-26-14 (6-3 vote), creating Enhanced Service and Safety Zones that allow the mayor to designate commercial areas for increased city services and enforcement, including prohibitions on sitting, sleeping, lying, or camping in public rights-of-way. The council also expanded the Near Heights Metropolitan Redevelopment Area by approximately 36 acres on San Pedro Drive (R-6, 7-0 vote) and approved the 2026 HUD Action Plan for CDBG and HOME funds (R-15, unanimous). A mayoral veto of cooling system requirements for rental housing (O-26-22) was sustained on a 5-4 vote, failing to reach the six votes needed for override.
