Realize Las Cruces is focused on amending existing zoning regulations, the zoning map, subdivision regulations, sign regulations, and design standards. The update aims to streamline and simplify development procedures to ensure clear and efficient processes. This initiative is guided by the policies and actions identified through the Elevate Las Cruces comprehensive plan process.

The primary goal of the code update is to implement the vision established within the Elevate plan, making the Development Code more user-friendly and ensuring compliance with State regulations. The last update to the code was in 2001, making this a significant step towards modernizing and improving the development framework of Las Cruces.

Join us at the open house to learn more about the proposed changes and share your input on the future development of our city. For more information about contact Sara Gonzales, 575-528-3471, sgonzales@lascruces.gov.
