Remainder tracts.
El Paso City Code § 19.02.060
in effect19.02.060 - Remainder tracts.
A. Definition. A remainder tract is that portion of a larger parcel that is not included within the boundaries of a land study or any type of plat. Remainder tracts shall not be considered lots or tracts of the subdivision. Approval of a plat shall not constitute approval of development on a remainder tract.
B. Information. Information accompanying a plat application for remainder tracts shall be deemed to be an aid to the city plan commission in taking action on the plat application and may be used to determine whether development of the land subject to the plat will be adequately served by public facilities and services and is otherwise in compliance with this title, taking into account the development of the property as a whole. Information concerning remainder tracts, including topography, drainage, and existing and planned public improvements, may be considered in formulating conditions to approve the plat application. Based upon such information, the city plan commission may require that additional or less land be included in the plat in order to satisfy the standards applicable to the plat application.
C. Approval. Approval of such remainder tract is conditioned on such remainder tract being suitable for development in the future and not making any other tracts undevelopable under current City of El Paso ordinances.
