Zoning change could bring more casitas to Albuquerque

Casitas, smaller houses outside of single-family homes, and duplexes are common in Luevano's neighborhood. But much of the city — upwards of 68% — isn't zoned for their construction. Historically, the zoning code has limited casita and duplex construction to areas with a tradition of multi-family units, said City of Albuquerque Planning Department principal planner Michael Vos. That could change tonight.
