El Paso runs TWO parallel codes: Title 20 (Euclidean Appendix B tables with planned-development overlays) and Title 21 (form-based SmartCode with T-4..T-6 transect). Planned districts (P-C, P-I, PMD, P-R I, P-R II, S-D, SRR, U-P) are substantial and act as the default path for new medium/large developments — justifies hybrid-pd classification. SB 840 layers on top of both codes.

Worth knowing
  • Two parallel zoning codes — Title 20 (Euclidean with Appendix B table) AND Title 21 (form-based SmartCode with T-4..T-6 transect + SD1..SD7). Both are actively applied in different parts of the city. SB 840 layers on top of both.
  • A-4 (Apartment 4) is the citywide density ceiling at 300 sf/unit = 140 du/ac. Under TX SB 840, this value becomes the effective MF-by-right density baseline citywide on all qualifying com/office/retail/warehouse/mu parcels, because SB 840 requires the greater of 36 du/ac or the city's highest allowed MF density. El Paso projects therefore gain 140 du/ac floor rather than 36 du/ac.
  • Height bonus in R-4, R-5, and A-3 (apartment uses): base 35 ft may be exceeded with 2 ft additional setback required per 1 ft above 35 ft.

State preemptions

TX SB 840applies
Qualifying condition
City population 678,958 (2024 Census PEP vintage, July 1 2024) ≥ 150,000 threshold AND El Paso County population 868,859 (2024 Census PEP) ≥ 300,000 threshold. Both predicate legs satisfied.
Source

Effect
Ministerial multifamily-by-right approval on parcels zoned for commercial, office, retail, warehouse, or mixed-use in El Paso. Forces minimum 36 du/ac OR city's highest allowed MF density (El Paso A-4 at 140 du/ac governs — see quirks), minimum 45 ft height (lifts 35 ft baseline on A-1..A-4, A-3/O, A-O, A-M, C-OP, C-1..C-5, G-MU, I-MU, R-MU, P-C, P-I, PMD, P-R I, P-R II, S-D, SRR, U-P, Title 21 T-4..T-6 and SD1..SD7), caps min setback at 25 ft, caps parking at 1.0 space/unit, and waives discretionary review. M-1, M-2, M-3, Q excluded. Historic preservation, floodplain, and federal (Fort Bliss AICUZ / El Paso International Airport Part 77) overlays continue to apply. SB 840 further carves out areas within 1,000 ft of heavy industrial and 3,000 ft of airport or military base — El Paso has large exclusion footprints around Fort Bliss and EPIA.
TX SB 15applies
Qualifying condition
TX SB 15 applies per-parcel to lots ≤4,000 sf statewide (El Paso population 678,958 (2024) exceeds any state-level population threshold; no population-gated exclusion applies to SB 15). Applicability is evaluated per-parcel by lot area.

Effect
On qualifying small lots (≤4,000 sf), limits city regulation of setbacks, parking, height, and bulk/FAR. El Paso's A-3 (2,400 sf min lot SF dwelling, 4,000 sf two-family/apartments) and A-4 (2,400 sf SF; 4,000 sf two-family) districts contain numerous lots meeting the trigger; R-5 and RMH may also include qualifying parcels. Use restrictions and life-safety controls retained by city.

2016-01-12amendment effectiveOrd. 18459, 1-12-2016 — Appendix B (Table of Density and Dimensional Standards)

Quirks & notes

  • Two parallel zoning codes — Title 20 (Euclidean with Appendix B table) AND Title 21 (form-based SmartCode with T-4..T-6 transect + SD1..SD7). Both are actively applied in different parts of the city. SB 840 layers on top of both.
  • A-4 (Apartment 4) is the citywide density ceiling at 300 sf/unit = 140 du/ac. Under TX SB 840, this value becomes the effective MF-by-right density baseline citywide on all qualifying com/office/retail/warehouse/mu parcels, because SB 840 requires the greater of 36 du/ac or the city's highest allowed MF density. El Paso projects therefore gain 140 du/ac floor rather than 36 du/ac.
  • Height bonus in R-4, R-5, and A-3 (apartment uses): base 35 ft may be exceeded with 2 ft additional setback required per 1 ft above 35 ft.
  • R-4 and R-5 contain building-type-varying lot minimums (SF dwelling / two-family / other uses with no minimum).
  • Manufactured Home Park (RMH) height cap at 16 ft is notably low — limits multi-section manufactured homes and prevents two-story stacked configurations.
  • A-4 apartment height is governed by approved site development plan (no fixed numeric maximum). This interacts with FAA Part 77 / AICUZ federal surfaces around Fort Bliss, Biggs Army Airfield, and El Paso International Airport.
  • Cumulative front + rear setback minimums are enforced in R-series districts in addition to individual front and rear minimums — both must be satisfied (§20.12.020).
  • R-series driveway rule: '20 ft driveway required' means the front setback is the stated value but a 20 ft driveway must be provided to the garage (effective front clearance > stated setback when garage-fronting).
  • Public/semipublic/school buildings may reach 100 ft; churches/temples 75 ft — with setback of 1 ft per foot above height limit (§20.12.030).
  • ADUs allowed by right on residential-zoned property per §20.10.035. Accessory structures per §20.10.030: max 1 story / 15 ft; detached must be ≥60 ft from front lot line.
  • R-2A is an intermediate R-series district between R-2 and R-3 (8,000 sf, narrower width than R-2).
  • SB 840 excludes areas within 1,000 ft of heavy industrial use AND 3,000 ft of airport or military base. Given Fort Bliss (large NE installation), Biggs Army Airfield, and El Paso International Airport, the exclusion footprint is substantial — SB 840 eligibility must be parcel-checked via GIS.
  • Historic preservation authority is preserved under SB 840 — City may continue to apply historic landmark and local historic district regulations even for SB 840 qualifying projects.
  • Border context (Ciudad Juárez adjacency) shapes downtown revitalization around Union Plaza and historic streetcar corridor — drives T-5/T-6 SmartCode deployment.
