SECTION 2. The interim annexation policy shall be as
follows:
The City will generally accept an annexation beyond
the official annexation boundary line provided that
all of the following criteria are met:
1. The annexation consists of either:
(a) developed acreage, or
(b) undeveloped land that is likely to start
developing within five years.
2. The annexation is bordered by natural or
man -made features which will form a logical
city limits line. Examples of suitable
boundaries are streets, creeks, railroads,
and section lines.
3. The annexation will not create an immediate,
significant City service need that the City
cannot readily provide.
4. Undeveloped acreage within the area is
planned at least to the extent of having
street and utility services and
proposed land uses identified.
