(A) Acceptance of planned communities criteria: policy element. The Planned Community Criteria: Policy Element, attached to Resolution No. 151-1990 are accepted and approved in fulfillment of Subsection 2.D of Resolution 138-1988, conditioned upon public hearing and approval by the Albuquerque City Council and the Bernalillo County Commission.
(B) Intent of policy element.
(1) These criteria provide intermediate level policy guidance and should be used to guide the process as well as the size, configuration, land use mix, densities, and other features of individual planned communities.
(2) Implementing regulations should be prepared by the City Planner, consistent with this section.
(C) Development agreements. Phasing of planned communities through development agreements between the communities developers and the City as well as other appropriate units of local government should be established as an appropriate mechanism to assure reasonable and equitable allocation of financial responsibility for capitalization, operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of public services and facilities in the planned communities.
(D) Plan ranking. Planned community master plan ranking relationships are as follows:
(1) Planned community master plans will implement and be compatible with the Rank 1 Comprehensive Plan.
(2) Planned community master plans will implement and be compatible with relevant Rank 2 plans. However, planned community Level A Community Master Plans may, when specifically so adopted constitute or contain an amendment to a Rank 2 Area Plan previously adopted.
(3) Planned community Level B Village Plans shall not conflict with other Rank 2 or Rank 3 plans affecting the same area.
