Let’s shape the future of El Paso!

This summer, we held open-house workshops in June, July, and August to talk about the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). Residents had the chance to learn how the FLUM works and how it influences daily life in our city. Most importantly, we asked you:

What kinds of development do you want to see in and around your neighborhoods—and across El Paso?

Your Voice, Your Map!

Participants were introduced to the 11 proposed place types for the Future Land Use Plan. After reviewing the criteria for each, they were invited to provide comments on a sketch map to gather input about where place types should go.

Insight and input

At the workshops, participants rotated through stations led by City staff, gaining insight into the FLUM with educational boards, real-world scenarios, and hands-on activities and providing comments and input to the ongoing work.

Explore each of the stations content and material by clicking on the links (underlined) below.

Workshops are designed with educational boards to learn more about the FLUM and how the it is used by city staff to guide development.

Scenarios are presented for how land use decisions guided by the FLUM can impact our tax base and experiences in the city.

A mapping activity helps us to imagine your ideal neighborhood by providing specific ideas on the types of housing, commercial uses and open spaces you’d like to see.
