A. The city of Homedale initiated a request that an area of city impact be designated and established in the unincorporated area of the county adjoining the city of Homedale which the planning and zoning commission of Homedale and the city council and mayor of Homedale have identified as a logical urban fringe area. In making such identification, those officials have recognized a trade area, geographic factors, and the potential delivery of public services which are closely associated with the city of Homedale, and have identified the area as being comprised of areas that may reasonably be annexed to the city of Homedale in the future.
B. After hearing evidence for and against the designation and establishment of the city impact area, the board of county commissioners have determined that the city impact area as designated in this chapter will best serve the growth and development interests and needs of the city of Homedale. The board believes that the mandate of the Idaho local planning act is that such local city interests and needs are primary factors to be considered in establishing an area of city impact. This chapter is intended to serve those legislatively mandated factors. (Ord. 95-02, 9-25-1995)
