Consensus Planning has provided technical assistance on and facilitated the approval of numerous climate-controlled, indoor storage facilities in the Albuquerque metropolitan area. Some of the projects required a zone change, conditional use, or site plan approval. These projects, due to the size of the buildings, are always challenging and require extensive neighborhood and City staff coordination. Some of the storage projects have incorporated small retail or restaurant areas in response to neighborhood and staff concerns. Several projects have been appealed. All these projects were approved, and where appealed, those approvals were ultimately upheld by the Albuquerque City Council.
