Issues We Face

Maverik Gas Station
Request for Conditional use permit

Maverik to be heard after 1pm.
To give comment in the hearing this is the
Zoom Link:
Call In: (975) 608-7372
Meeting ID: 9756087372-The deadline for comments was March 15th
The Full NA Opposition letter submitted is hereIF YOU WANT TO SPEAK AT THE ZOOM HEARING use these suggested points :
Recommended Comment Types- express concerns in your own words:
(Comp)rehensive Plan Alignment: A 4th gas station does not align with the ABQ Comp Plan’s requirements of a mix of uses and range of services in the area.Pedestrian/cyclist Safety: Carlisle and Indian School medians may force U-turns on arterial streets and push gas station traffic into residential neighborhoods. A large gas station increases the in/out traffic which increases the danger for pedestrian and bike traffic. The station is requesting 2 access points on each roadway, increasing cross traffic for both pedestrians and cyclists.Air quality and health risk near schools: Research documents elevated health risks for populations near gas stations. Two child care centers are directly across the street from the proposed large pumping station.Vacancy/blight: The approval of a 4th larger gas station increases likelihood of failure for any of the 3 smaller stations. Once a site used for a gas station is abandoned the expense of clean up and tank removal is prohibitive. Any failed station at the intersection will likely leave vacant property and blight.Neighborhood Safety: Maverik stations typically operate 24/7. Late night activity increases public safety issues for the neighboring apartments and the immediate area. The increased public safety risks will spill into the surrounding neighborhoods.Community character: The Giant Red Arrow was designated as an historical landmark in 1961. It is a significant part of the neighborhood character. A large gas station with canopies and a convenience store will obscure this landmark and diminish an important piece of our community character, relegating our intersection to just another stop on the freeway.

IDO UPDATE

IDO reforms that were passed at the 2/18/26 City Council
• Legalizing cottage courts, bringing new small-scale multifamily options to most of Albuquerque.
• Legalizing dormitories as a lower-cost housing option
• Allowing more office-to-residential conversions, helping repurpose underused buildings
• Improving density along our key corridors
• Lifting parking minimums in Centers and Corridors
• Smaller lot sizes allowed making it easier to create entry-level homes

AUTO BURGLARY is a crime of opportunity; vehicles are easy targets and often contain property that is attractive to thieves.
Large parking lots and neighborhoods with a lot of on-street parking can be prime targets for theft.
Use the easy, inexpensive tips below to reduce your risk.
