After real property belonging to the city has been determined not essential for a municipal purpose and prior to its appraisal and disposal, the Planning Department shall review its zoning to determine that the zoning is appropriate in terms of the city's master plan, in particular the master plan documents which comprise the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Comprehensive Plan, and the potential use of the property. If the Planning Department determines that the zoning is appropriate, it shall so notify the Mayor. If the Planning Department determines that the zoning is not appropriate, it shall initiate a zone change to an appropriate zone, and it shall notify the Mayor of the final action taken on this request. No real property shall be appraised or disposed of until the Planning Department has notified the Mayor that it is appropriately zoned or until the Planning Department has notified the Mayor of final action on its request for a zone change.
