Zoning also sets development standards such as lot area; density; parking and loading requirements; setbacks; landscape and screening requirements; and building height. The City of El Paso currently has 34 zoning districts. Why do we need zoning and what effect does zoning have on my property? Property must be zoned for a given use before a building permit is issued, and development plans for the property must comply with the applicable standards for that zoning district.
How do I determine the types of uses permitted on my property? Contact the Planning Division at to verify the zoning district classification for the property and types of uses that are permitted. If your intended use is not permitted on the property, based on its existing zoning, staff will advise you on the rezoning process and other options if any available to you. A completed rezoning application, with all required documentation, must be submitted to the Planning Division.
The application must contain an original signature of the owner of the property proposed for rezoning. After acceptance of a completed application, the Development Services Department reviews the request; obtains the review and comments from other City departments; schedules the case for public hearing by the City Plan Commission CPC ; obtains a recommendation from the Development Coordinating Committee DCC ; prepares a staff report; and notifies property owners within feet of the proposed rezoning and any appropriate recognized neighborhood associations.
In addition, if the property proposed for rezoning is one or more acres in size, a sign must be placed on the property proposed for rezoning by the applicant at least 15 days before the CPC hearing.
CPC holds a public hearing approximately six weeks following the submittal of the application, and votes to approve, approve with modifications, deny, or postpone the rezoning application. A report by the staff is presented, public input is received, and CPC deliberates its findings. When a recommendation to approve the application is made by CPC, an ordinance will be prepared and forwarded to City Council CC for finalization.
A report is presented by staff with the recommendations of DCC and CPC, public input is received, and CC deliberates its findings, and either approves, approves with modification, denies or postpones the application.

The site design process is an opportunity for the City and the developer to work together to ensure that a development meets both the design goals of the community and the requirements of the developer.
Site design includes the arrangement of uses, buildings and structures, landscaping, lighting, signage, screening, architectural style and color, and other site criteria, all working together to promote a desirable visual environment. A detailed site development plan is an engineered, detailed drawing of the site improvements and building proposed on a property. This plan ensures proper site design and is approved though legislative action of City Council CC following a public hearing process.
The purpose of the plan review is to ensure that the proposed development conforms to the regulations and to various site design requirements. Where required on a property, detailed site development plan review is required prior to the issuance of a building permit.

Each zoning classification then sets development standards which regulate setbacks, lot width, lot depth, minimum square footage, maximum lot coverage, height requirements, which apply to a particular use. In this zoning scheme, land use activity is permitted in a zoning classification either as use by right or by special use permit.
A use by right is a land use activity which has been deemed appropriate and correct for the zone where it is to be located. A special use permit allows a land use activity in a zone under certain specified rules performance standards. Similar to the rezoning process, a special permit is re-viewed for satisfactory compliance with all required stand-ards listed in the City Zoning Ordinance through a public hearing process. All property within the City is zoned based on a land use classification system which has considered all factors neces-sary to determine its best land use pattern.
