TEMPORARY USE PERMIT APPLICATION

What is a Temporary Use Permit?
Temporary use permits are intended to accommodate
reasonable requests for interim or temporary uses for a
limited period of time on a particular parcel when such
activities are desirable for the community. Temporary
uses allowed must be consistent with the health, safety
and general welfare of persons residing and working in
the community, shall be conducted so as not to cause
any detrimental effects on surrounding properties and the
community, and shall not violate any other ordinance or
state and federal regulations.
Typical temporary use permits authorize such short-term
uses as mobile food establishments, seasonal Christmas
tree and pumpkin sales, real estate sales offices, festivals
or carnivals, outdoor sporting events, special outdoor
retail sales promotions, and similar unique and infrequent,
irregularly or intermittently occurring events. See
§20.10.680 (Temporary Uses) of the El Paso City Code
for additional information and requirements for permitted
temporary uses.
A temporary use permit from the Planning and
Inspections Department is frequently one of a number of
City permits required to operate a temporary use. The
Fire and Health Department among others may also
require separate permits before such operations can
commence.
While a Temporary Use Permit authorizes a specific use
or activity on a given parcel, it does not authorize any
construction-related activities. Construction, demolition or
alteration of a structure, regardless of association with a
temporary use, is subject to the permitting requirements
of the Building & Development Permitting Division of the
Planning & Inspections Department.
When is a Temporary Use Permit Necessary?
If a particular use is not intended to be permanent and
complies with applicable restrictions found in §20.10.680
(Temporary Uses) of the El Paso City Code, a Temporary
Use Permit may be appropriate. A Temporary Use Permit
may authorize a particular use ranging from 1 day to 6
months, subject to conditions. Further time may be
authorized only by action upon a new application and is
limited to no more than six months in a single calendar
year.
Temporary Use Permits may only be granted for
individual parcels; they may not be authorized within any
public right-of-way (e.g. streets or sidewalks). If a
proposed temporary use would be conducted within a
public right-of-way, an alternate permitting process
administered by the Planning & Inspections Department
is required; such permits may be obtained at the One-
Stop-Shop.
Additionally, temporary structures such as construction
sheds, canopies, tents and fences used in construction
work in conjunction with a building or grading permit are
exempt from temporary use permitting requirements so
long as such structures are completely removed upon the
completion of the work authorized by the building or
grading permit.
How Does the Permitting Process Work?
Many applications for a Temporary Use Permit can be
reviewed and acted upon an “over-the-counter” basis,
however, please plan to submit your application at least
ten (10) calendar days prior to the proposed
commencement of the temporary use to allow adequate
time for review and, if necessary, revisions. With limited
exception, temporary uses may be authorized
administratively without a public hearing before City
Council; in such cases, allow for an additional thirty (30)
day review period. At a minimum, your request will be
reviewed by Zoning and Fire staff; other reviews may be
required depending on the nature of the proposed
temporary use. Once all reviews are completed and the
Temporary Use Permit is ready to be issued, a One-Stop-
P
ursuant to §20.10.680 (Temporary Uses) of the El Paso City Code, certain uses may be permitted on a temporary
basis in cases where they may not otherwise be permitted. One-Stop-Shop staff are available to advise you in the
preparation of this application. Call (915) 212-0104 or email OSSHelp@elpasotexas.gov for further information.

Shop staff member will contact you with instructions on
how to obtain the permit.
Note that a Temporary Use Permit is valid only for a
specific duration and frequency noted on the permit.
Subsequent applications are required to continue
operation of the use. Upon expiration of the Temporary
Use Permit, the premises must be cleaned and cleared of
any associated structures, debris and litter and returned
to its original state. Clean-up must commence within a
twenty-four (24) hour period after the use has concluded.
Who May Apply for a Temporary Use Permit?
A Temporary Use Permit is associated with a particular
property and its use rather than a particular business or
individual. Therefore, only property owners (or authorized
agents) or operators of the temporary use may submit a
Temporary Use Permit application. In the instance that
the temporary use operator is the applicant and that the
operator and property owner are not the same then a
notarized letter from the property owner (or authorized
agent) must be submitted with the application granting
permission to the applicant to use the property for the
proposed temporary use.
What is the Fee for a Temporary Use Permit?
The Temporary Use Permit fee follows the Schedule C
fee list. This fee is due at the time the permit is
issued, payable by cash, check (remit to the City of El
Paso), money order or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, and
Discover are accepted and subject to a 1.98% credit card
fee). Please note additional fees may apply should other
permits and licenses be required.
Temporary Use Permits and the Authority of
Other City Departments
The Temporary Use Permit is a land-use approval only. It
does not establish the right to conduct activities that
require authorization from other City Departments (e.g.
Health Department, Fire Department, Animal Services
Department, Building & Development Permitting, etc.). As
part of the temporary use application review, staff at the
One-Stop-Shop will make every effort to notify you of any
other permits/licenses required and provide instruction
with how to obtain them.
However, should other authorizations be required, it is
your responsibility to obtain these prior to commencing
the proposed temporary use. Failure to do so may result
in the immediate revocation of the Temporary Use Permit
as well as monetary penalties pursuant to §20.24
(Enforcement – Penalty) of the El Paso City Code. We
strongly advise that applicants contact any other potential
agencies involved at the earliest possible point in the
permitting process.

use’s hours of operation. A fillable restroom
