September 12, 2024 – El Paso County is embarking on a significant Land Development Code (LDC) update for guiding development in the unincorporated areas of El Paso County.
In partnership with Clarion Associates, a national planning firm, El Paso County will work over the next two years to update the LDC. The LDC update is supported by funding from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs Strong Communities Planning Grant Program.
A dedicated website (https://www.elpasocountyldc.com/) for the LDC update has been developed to ensure transparency and public involvement. This platform provides an overview of the project’s goals, timeline, and opportunities for community participation. Public input is highly valued, and the first request for community engagement includes a survey and review of the code assessment. Initial feedback will be available until October 1, 2024.
