Timing of dedication and construction.
El Paso City Code § 19.10.030
in effect19.10.030 - Timing of dedication and construction.
A. Initial provision for dedication or construction. The city shall require that the submitted documents for approval and any related studies demonstrate that a proposed development shall be adequately served by public facilities and services at the time of consideration by the city plan commission of the first development application that portrays a specific plan of development, including but not limited to, a petition for establishing a petition for an annexation agreement or a development agreement; an application for a land study, or an application for a preliminary plat or final plat. As a condition of approval of the development application, the city may require provision for dedication of rights-of-way or easements for, and construction of, capital improvements to serve the proposed development.
B. Deferral of obligation. The obligation to dedicate rights-of-way for or to construct one or more capital improvements to serve a new development may be deferred until approval of a subordinate development permit, or, in the case of a development proposed to be developed in phases, until a subsequent phase of the development, on the sole discretion of the city, upon written request of the property owner, or at the city's own initiative. The city must find that the deferral of the obligation to a later phase has no negative impact on the proposed development and that any additional costs are provided for. As a condition of deferring the obligation, the city may require that the developer enter into a capital improvements agreement pursuant to Chapter 19.08, specifying the time for dedication of rights-of-way for or provide security for construction of capital improvements serving the development.
