Parcel-Specific Provisions. The language within this Section 1.2.4 reflects the Parties’ understanding that it is appropriate to consider annexation of developed parcels adjacent to the current municipal boundary. The Town’s water and sewer infrastructure has the capacity to accommodate additional service area, and connection to the Town’s services would benefit water quality. Recognizing the Town’s long-held interest in maintaining its unique character, and that additional development would have impacts on wildlife, transportation, and the environment, this IGA allows for very limited expansion and additional intensity of use of areas eligible for annexation, identified as Primary Planning Area in Exhibit B. The Parties’ intent is to generally restrict additional residential density beyond that which is currently allowed under county jurisdiction, with the exception of Area 3(a).
Parcel-Specific Provisions. 1.2.2.1 Areas 1 & 3. Areas 1 and 3 are composed primarily of developed parcels in County-approved subdivisions. They contain single-family development in forested areas with some steep slopes. The areas are very susceptible to wildfire and have limited access. Therefore, the areas are not suitable for increased levels of development or density. The Town has indicated it has capacity in its water and sewer systems to serve some of the existing development if properties in Areas 1 and 3 were annexed. Service provision would benefit water quality. Therefore, the County and Town agree that the areas are eligible for the Town to annex provided that, at annexation, a conservation easement, a deed restriction, or other similar mechanism is provided in a form acceptable to the Town and County that allows no more density than currently permitted under the County Land Use Code for the areas, with the following exception:

The Town’s water and sewer infrastructure has the capacity to accommodate additional service area, and connection to the Town’s services would benefit water quality. The Town has a limited capacity for providing infrastructural support to annexations and it is critical that developments pay their own way regarding water, sewer, road improvements, and other services.

Parcel-Specific Provisions. The language within this Section 1.2.4 reflects the Parties’ understanding that it is appropriate to consider annexation of developed parcels adjacent to the current municipal boundary. The Town’s water and sewer infrastructure may haves the capacity to accommodate additional service area, and connection to the Town’s services would benefit water quality. However, tThe Town’s capacity has a limited capacity forto provideing infrastructural support to annexations is limited. As a result of the limited capacity, development within the PPAs is not guaranteed and is dependent on the capacity of the systems at the time of application/annexation/development. and it is critical that dDevelopments will adhere to Town annexation policies and pay their own way regarding when seeking to interconnect with the Town’s water, sewer, road improvements, and other services. Recognizing the Town’s long-held interest in maintaining its unique character, and that additional development would have impacts on wildlife, transportation, and the environment, this IGA allows for very limited expansion and additional intensity of use of areas eligible for annexation, identified as Primary Planning Area in Exhibit B. The Parties’ intent is to generally restrict additional residential density beyond that which is currently allowed under county jurisdiction, with the exception of Area 3(a). Proposed development on any of the parcels included in the PPA must be compatible with the recommendations resulting from the wildlife study referenced in 1.2.2.
