FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS,the purpose of the Phase II Annexation Study was to assist in the implementation
of the Land Use Policy Plan by determining the most cost-effective scenario for annexation and future
growth; and,
WHEREAS,the results of the Phase II Annexation Study confirmed that the most cost-effective
direction for the City to grow is in the Southwest Priority Growth Area; and,
WHEREAS, staff believes that a phased approach to annexation represents the most realistic
strategy to accomplish the City's need for obtaining additional land resources; and,
WHEREAS, at their meeting of February 15, 2000, the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended that the Phase II Annexation Study be approved with the following change:
"T It should be emphasized that growth in any location other than the areas recommended
in this Phase II Annexation Study requires a potential net cost to the City of such
magnitude that it cannot be recommended by staff.The City Council should not approve
any requests to annex and rezone any land other than the areas recommended in this
Phase II Annexation Study until the areas identified in Recommendation#3 have first
been developed, and a detailed annexation study of such area(s)has been approved by
the City Council."
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,Iowa, that
the Phase II Annexation Study with the above-stated modification to the 7th recommendation in the
