The ILA addresses the development regulations applicable to EISD educational facilities. Texas Local Government Code section 212.902 allows school districts and municipalities to enter interlocal agreements that provide for district specific development standards.

In accordance with City Code, the Planning Commission and Council are required to conduct a public hearing and act on adopting this lapsed ILA. Approval of the lapsed ILA is critical to EISD overall development timeline, as delays can materially impact delivery timelines and budgets associated with the school projects in development review. COA and EISD staff are in full support of the proposal and recommend approval. We ask that the Planning Commission provide Council with recommendations and act on June 25. The ILA is scheduled for Council public hearing and action on July 18. Including the EISD ILA, there are three ILAs that inadvertently expired in 2021 that have not been re-adopted. Staff have contacted the ISDs and two indicated a request for re-adoption. Should you have any questions, please contact Keith Mars, Assistant Director with the Development Services Department.
