Due to the extreme heat, the City of Grand Prairie has set up cooling centers at various locations.
Development applications, also referred to as cases, require approval by city governing bodies – the Planning & Zoning Commission, City Council, and/or the Zoning Board of Adjustments. City staff will evaluate the submitted application to ensure that it conforms to the Comprehensive Plan, Unified Development Code, Design Guidelines and all other laws and regulations.
The City of Grand Prairie accepts applications online through the Customer Self-Service portal.

A variance is granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustments and Appeals or by the City Council in cases which are shown not to be contrary to the public interest if, owing to special conditions, where a literal enforcement of the provisions of an ordinance or regulation will result in an undue hardship.
The Unified Development Code requires a Specific Use Permit for certain land uses. Due to their location, functional or operational nature, these land uses could potentially negatively impact surrounding properties
