Map 10 presents development planning analysis with regard to the three capital -intensive City services and areas with existing industrial and commercial businesses. Any area satisfying the criteria for at least two of the three City services is shown on the map, such as having sanitary sewers and being within a fire protection area. Few locations outside the City have all three services available. Areas with only one City service were not mapped. The mapping of these City services and industrial/commercial land uses begins to identify key areas to be considered for annexation. Four clusters of these key areas begin to take shape on the north edge of the City beginning at the Cleveland Road/Brick Road area and extending clockwise thru German and Clay Townships to the S.R. 23/Maple Lane area. A fifth area is located south of the City in the vicinity of U.S. 31 just south of the U.S. 20 Bypass. 2. Strategic Planning Map 11 identifies some strategic planning elements. These include interchanges along the U.S. 20/31 Bypass; major and minor arterials at the City's perimeter; and major traffic -generating areas such as the Airport Industrial Park/2010 Development Area, Scottsdale Mall commercial area and Grape Road commercial/business corridor. Past major growth areas are noted, along with a potential new development area north and northwest of the City. Finally, territory that is presently or becoming isolated by City growth is identified in order to have a better definition of the corporate limits. B. THE ANNEXATION STUDY The annexation plan is a melding of the annexation policies and implementing guidelines with the development planning and strategic planning analysis elements to create a graphic representation of the City's proposed physical growth through annexation. The annexation policy provides goals and objectives regarding how the City should grow. The annexation plan, on the other hand, suggests where such growth should be considered. The City's annexation policy will be the lead element for annexation. The annexation plan will essentially function as a support element for the annexation policy. In order to enhance this importance of the annexation policy, the annexation plan has been developed with the following key factors: • The annexation plan is not intended to have definitive or ultimate limits for the growth of the City except where coinciding with certain jurisdictional and planning boundaries. 55
