Title
Interlocal Cooperation Agreement between Ellis County and Grand Prairie for floodplain development permits in the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ)
Presenter
Stephanie Griffin, Floodplain Administrator
Recommended Action
Approve
Analysis
The area within the City's ETJ and Ellis County is seeing an increase in development. Multiple creeks and floodplains are within the City's ETJ. The City's UDC Article 15 Floodplain Management Ordinance applies to the Special Flood Hazard Area within the City of Grand Prairie and its ETJ. Therefore, an interlocal agreement (attached) is appropriate to accommodate the required floodplain permitting for both jurisdictions.
Financial Consideration
No funding is required for the interlocal agreement. Any fees associated with the permit will be paid by the applicant and directed to the appropriate jurisdiction.
