Annexation Program — A regularly updated document identifying areas that the city wishes to consider for initiation of annexation during the succeeding five -year period. The annexation program expresses the city's intent to consider specific areas for annexation, but is not legally binding. Inclusion of an area in the program does not obligate the city to annex that area, nor does exclusion of an area from the program prevent the city from annexing the area. Disannexation — The legal process by which a city removes an area from its boundaries. Enclave — An area within the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction that is surrounded, or very nearly surrounded, by the corporate limits of the City of Paris and /or the corporate limits or extra- territorial jurisdiction of other municipalities. Extraordinary Economic Development Project — A commercial or industrial project that is eligible for property tax abatement under the city's tax abatement policy. Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) — Unincorporated area extending generally three miles from the city limit, excluding other incorporated municipalities and their ETJs, in which the city has the authority to annex property. Full Municipal Services — Services provided by an annexing municipality within its full- purpose boundaries, including water and wastewater services and excluding gas or electrical service. The City of Paris provides the following services, including but not limited to: fire and police protection; emergency medical services; access to water and wastewater services unless such services are provided by another utility; solid waste collection; operation and maintenance of parks, publicly -owned facilities, and streets; library services; drainage and storm sewer maintenance; enforcement of environmental health, zoning and subdivision ordinances; enforcement of building and construction codes; and inspection services. Growth Center — An area that contains, or has the capacity to contain, compact, higher intensity urban land uses, as designated by the city council in the city's comprehensive plan. There are two types of growth centers: • Mixed -Use Growth Centers — A highly urbanized area that has many characteristics of a downtown: a concentration of jobs, housing units, schools, parks, and other public facilities, public transportation hubs, pedestrian activity and a sense of place. This mix of uses supports sustainable development, which seeks to balance access, mobility, affordability, community cohesion, and environmental quality. • Industrial Growth Center — An area consisting primarily of industrial and /or commercial uses, with a high concentration of jobs, mostly industrial in nature. Other related and supporting uses include office space and services. Unlike mixed -use growth centers, residential uses are generally discouraged within industrial growth centers. Infrastructure — Facilities necessary to provide city services, usually referring to physical assets such as streets and utility lines.
