The purpose for establishing this area of impact is to identify a logical urban fringe area adjoining the city of Cascade, Idaho. The governing bodies of the city of Cascade and Valley County recognize the importance of planning for future growth in the area of impact and understand that the delivery of most public services is, or will be, associated with the city of Cascade. The area of impact is comprised of land that may reasonably be expected to be annexed into the city of Cascade in the near or distant future. The urban fringe area is experiencing growth and development pressures that must be managed in order to provide for planned, orderly, and efficient growth. Furthermore, it is the intent of this agreement to:
A. Set forth a formal mechanism for planning and growth management regardless of jurisdictional boundaries.
B. Consider the interests of both the city of Cascade and Valley County in planning and land use decision making.
C. Engage, involve, and consider the interests of those most impacted by land use decisions, regardless of the jurisdiction in which they may reside. (Ord. 10-05, 8-23-2010)
