7. EMPLOYMENT Employment information in EI Paso County is available for the planning areo of the PPACG which provided the information shown on this map. It locates areas of major em- ployment, including centers of government activities, and may be shown to relate fairly consistently to urban growth. This data and that relating to population distribution provide important input to water, sewer, drainage, and transportation plans, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I S. FLOOD PLAINS The response of the land Use Commission to the legislative charge to identify critical flood plain areas in the state is included in a later section of this report. This map in- dicates the location and the control status of such flood plains in EI Paso County. Sub- sequent PPACG maps will indicate the incorporation of the characteristics of these areas as elements of the land use plan for the county. However, despite the recognition of these data in the planning process, land use controls have not yet been extended to all affected areas and the use of a 50 year design storm rather than a more restrictive 100 year design storm in such controls has limited the county's control over encroachment in- to such areas. 6. OWNERSHIP (DISCOUNT LIST) A significant portion of the land of EI Paso County is under the jurisdiction of state and federal agencies. The purpose of the "Discount Maps" is to indicate those lands subject to the use and development policies of such land administering agencies. These lands vary with respect to the kinds of change to which they are subject, as well as to their potentia I for or vulnerability to change. The Discount Map of EI Paso County is representative of ownership maps that have been prepared by the land Use Commission for each county in the state. 40
