LAND USE AND ZONING OVERVIEW

Planning & Development is charged with managing the use of land in the City of Gallup. Proper zoning helps avoid incompatible uses within a geographic area and balances protection of private property rights and economic development with concerns for environment and quality of life for community members.

Our 2020 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting schedule has been released.  This schedule details when the meetings are scheduled if an application has been received to be heard before our Planning & Zoning Commission or the deadline to file an appeal.
