RESOLUTION APPROVING CHANGES TO THE LAND USE POLICY PLAN
BY INCORPORATING A NEW UNIQUE AREA CLASSIFICATION,
THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY, AND THE
ANNEXATION IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS,changes are being proposed by staff to the Land Use Policy Plan(LUPP)that will
create a new unique area classification and incorporate the recently adopted Capital Investment Strategy
and Annexation Implementation Strategy; and,
WHEREAS, the new unique area classification is being created as a result of the recently
adopted Phase H Annexation Study; and,
WHEREAS, the Annexation Study identifies that limited additional growth in the area of the
Taylor Farm and the Uthe Farm will solve a perceived near-term land supply problem; and,
WHEREAS,the proposed change to the LUPP relative to this unique area classification concept
is to add a fourth unique area classification to be titled "Near Term Lands" that would allow for
continued residential development in a limited amount to solve a perceived near-term land shortage
problem; and,
WHEREAS, it is being proposed that the LUPP be further changed to include the Capital
Investment Strategy and the Annexation Implementation Strategy in the Implementation section of the
Plan.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,Iowa, that
the proposed changes to the Land Use Policy Plan that involve the creation of a new unique area
classification to be titled"New Term Lands"and the inclusion of the Capital Investment Strategy and
the Annexation Implementation Strategy are hereby approved.
