Deferred construction of improvements in the ETJ.
El Paso City Code § 19.11.050
in effect19.11.050 - Deferred construction of improvements in the ETJ.
In order to not create disincentives to development within the city limits of El Paso and to avoid future expenses for the taxpayers of the city to bring newly annexed, developed areas up to city standards, the city will require, where possible, the actual infrastructure required by this title to be installed or constructed. Where such improvements cannot be constructed at the time of plat approval, the city may require cash escrow to offset the future expense in accordance with Chapter 19.08. If the city manager or designee determines that an improvement may not be constructed within ten years, it may waive the requirement for cash escrow for such improvements.
