CLERMONT URBAN AREA City Manager Forbes reported that he would like to send a letter dated November 15, 1984 to the County requesting that they assist the City with an "Urban Area" Land Use Map as discussed in the draft copy of the Comprehensive Plan. This map would allow the City to plan for growth in areas not presently in the City Limits, but which might be annexed within the next twenty years. The proposed letter and map were given each Council Member. Mayor Pool stated that he felt this map would be important for planning for future growth areas. Council Member Huff stated that he felt the preparation of the map would be a good beginning, and that areas west of the City should also be con- sidered.

It was discussed that the "Urban Area" Map should be reviewed every five years with the Comprehensive Plan, and this would give the City flexibility needed for future changes. 84-202After a brief discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER TURVILLE, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER COLE AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED DIRECTING CITY MANAGER FORBES TO SEND THE LETTER DATE NOVEMBER 15, 1984, TO THE COUNTY REQUESTING ASSISTANCE IN PREPARING AN "URBAN AREA" LAND USE MAP.
