- y. i* moo..,• 2.3 Agricultural uses od area would find in { like the Cooutr of Boulder« It is interesting to take a look • at your use categories under A-Agricultural ;. • • soar and they sound an awful lot ilkrg,: that which urbanisation is contrasted with '? mood what ors would typically find in a terms situation.ithe an xat�tact. property must be in the process of urbanization or about to be urbanized in order to qualify for annexation. I point out that as far as this particular property that A-Agricultural zoning is also inconsistent with the surrounding properties within the City of Louisville and the adjacent City of Lafayette. With your permission I would like to step to the drawing. Immediately to the south of the property across the street is indus- trial zoned land in the City of Louisville. put up structures such as the Storage Tech building. Again immediately south of the subject property CB, that is your most in- tensive commercial business district. A Sears and Roebuck could go on that property. Immediately to the north and across the road is the City limits of Lafayette. The R-3 zoning district immediately adjacent permits on 9 000 square foot lots a tri- ples. In ogler words three dwelling units can be placed on a 9.000 foot lot or one dwelling unit per 3,000 square feet. Immediately to the north and across the street the R-A zoning district in Lafayette which is also adjacent to the sub•,ect pro- perty permits 1 dwelling unit on 7,000 square foot lots. So insofar as the land which is immediately adjacent to the sub- ject property which is ocated within this municipalities. either Lafayette or Louis- ville, we are talking about some very different type of use categories. As opposed to one dwelling unit on 5 acres which this property is subject to in the City of Louis- ville. we've of here one dwelling unit on 3,000 square feet right across the street. So it seems to me that it is pretty clear that insofar as the existing pattern of land use. this property in really incon- sistent with adjacent properties. Now there are county properties which are zoned agri- cultural but they again are outside the City limits. So, as far as adjacent pro- perties. we have the full rang• of urban services. We have the industrial zone
