(See figure 1.) Martineztown/Santa Barbara is one of eleven historic and economically interrelated neighborhoods in the Central Urban Area that have suffered disinvestment and decline. Much of this central area has been redeveloped with an emphasis on cultural and historic preservation as well as commercial revitalization. Martineztown/Santa Barbara needs redevelopment and preservation. This Plan area is approximately 548 acres bounded by Menaul Boulevard on the north, Lomas Boulevard on the south, the New Mexico Railrunner Express Railway tracks (NMRX) on the west, and Interstate 25 on the east.

Purpose This Sector Plan addresses issues identified by the Martineztown/Santa Barbara Neighborhood Association in their December 2006 letter to the Albuquerque Planning Department. Specific neighborhood issues were: incompatible land use patterns and existing zoning; flooding and drainage problems; inadequate sanitary sewer line capacity and condition; and, commercial and high speed traffic in the neighborhood. This Plan establishes land development regulations and recommends capital improvements to preserve and protect the neighborhood’s historic residential core and existing commercial properties. This short range action plan addresses the immediate needs of the neighborhood and serves as a guide for future development. The purpose of this Plan is to preserve the area’s history, traditional uses, and secure and maintain a balanced and stable economy for the neighborhood. The proposed programs, policies, and projects will aid in the elimination of current and prevention of future blighted conditions. Martineztown/Santa Barbara was designated a Metropolitan Redevelopment Area in 1989. To date, no Metropolitan Redevelopment Plan (MRP) exists for this area. This Plan recommends a separate Redevelopment Plan be written and adopted using this Sector Plan for its framework. There is a section in this document that proposes specific catalytic projects for redevelopment and suggests possible funding sources. Upon adoption of this updated plan, the former Martineztown/Santa Barbara Sector Plan adopted March 1990 is repealed. B. What This Plan Does Not Include This Plan does not address all area issues identified by the community. The Plan does not address social service program development nor does it emphasize the many projects that the neighborhood could initiate to improve their quality of life. C. Process This Plan is the cooperative work of the Martineztown/Santa Barbara community and the City of Albuquerque Planning Department with assistance by the consulting firm Sites Southwest. In 2007, working committees were formed and composed of representatives from businesses, area property owners, and community activists. Stakeholder interviews were conducted and included one-on-one discussions and interviews. The results of the outreach are reflected in this Plan.
