WHEREAS,the Ames Urban fringe Plan was adopted by Ames, Gilbert, and Story County

which try to accommodate population and economic growth,and to the county,which tries to protect
the agricultural economy and rural lifestyles; and,

the foreseeable future,areas where the cities are likely to annex and develop,and those areas where
growth may happen outside the cities, but should be accommodated by the cities at some future
point; and,

around cities, the fact is that multiple jurisdictions have different powers to direct and regulate
