The Issue
Development patterns can influence the long-term solvency of a city and prosperity of its residents. Our current land use and zoning code is almost a half-a-century old.
If we want our City to continue to be inviting and livable, we need to bring the cost of housing down, increase the variety and type of housing for all of our residents, promote infill and walkability, and reduce sprawl and congestion.
If we adopt the proposed changes to our land use and zoning code in Realize Las Cruces, we can continue to build a city that embraces all of us in a fiscally and socially responsible way.
