The Albuquerque City Council could vote as early as Thursday on new zoning rules that would expand opportunities for RV parks, car dealers and drive-thrus, while reducing areas where liquor and nicotine retail is automatically allowed.
It could also set rules for where and when cannabis shops can operate now that New Mexico has legalized recreational marijuana.

It is all part of the second annual update to the city’s Integrated Development Ordinance. The council has a special meeting devoted to the IDO at 3 p.m. Thursday.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. In the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder and protests against police brutality and racial injustice, Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller announced New Mexico’s largest city was setting aside $1 million to invest in the local Black community.
Nearly a year later, the city has not allocated the money, although that could happen soon.
The city’s Economic Development Department “is in the process of finalizing details of the program,” the city wrote in a June 1 response to a Journal public records request seeking information about how the money was used. “Additional information will be provided at the program launch during the 2021 Juneteenth Festival.”
