§ 19.11.010. General provisions.

A.

Owners of property within the extraterritorial jurisdiction who propose a subdivision of land shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter. The regulations contained within Chapter 19.01 and including the design standards for construction, shall be applicable except as modified by this chapter.

B.

Plat applications within the extraterritorial jurisdiction. Where the land to be platted lies within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of El Paso, no minor plat, preliminary plat, final plat or replat application shall be accepted as complete in accordance with Section 19.37.020 for submission by the responsible official unless the application is accompanied by verification that a copy of such plat has been delivered to the County of El Paso. If the city has not received a decision from the County of El Paso on matters pertaining to the final plat application which are to be determined by the County of El Paso, the application for final plat approval shall be accepted for submission by the city, but shall either be approved subject to subsequent county approval or be denied, unless a waiver of right to thirty-day action is approved. No final plat shall be recorded with the county clerk until both the City of El Paso and El Paso County have approved and the appropriate officials have signed such final plat.

C.

Ordinance conflicts. Since the area within the ETJ is subject to the subdivision platting rules and regulations of both the City of El Paso and the County of El Paso, and those regulations may be different, conflicts between the regulations will arise. The more stringent of those rules and regulations shall apply.

D.

Connections to existing EPWU water or wastewater system outside the city limits. Applications for connection to existing portions of the EPWU water or wastewater system, pursuant to the EPWU rules and regulations, for uses located outside the city limits will be granted only with the approval of the utility manager.
