Water lines are in blue; sewer lines are in green. The yellow line is the current city limits line. STATUS OF ISSUE: The city's annexation/disannexation policy (see attached Exhibit B) provides that "the City will consider disannexation of any area within its corporate limits if so requested by a majority of property owner(s) and if the area fails to meet at least one of the above seven criteria, and if ...the proposed disannexation is part of an identifiable, logical whole (versus individual parcels) which neither creates `holes' inside the existing corporate city limits, nor forces any other area of the city outside the revised boundary line (`islands' outside the revised lines)."' See Exhibit B, p. 16. The seven factors relate to: • Whether the parcels form an enclave; • Whether the area has developed as an urban area; • Whether the area is a designated growth center; • Whether the retaining the area within the city limits would result in an adverse impact to the city, including adverse fiscal impacts; • Whether disannexation would present an opportunity for incorporation of the area into a new municipality or for an existing municipality to annex the area; • Whether the area is populated with residential development; and 1 Underlining is original to the text; italics are added by the authors. The policy requires only that the city consider disannexation, not that the city grant it.
