The following factors shall be reviewed by the Planning <br /> Commission and the City Council of the City of Lo u i s v i 11 e with <br /> respect to all residential annexation requests: <br /> A) Whether the property is completely surrounded by the <br /> City of Louisville, whether the property is two-thirds contiguous <br /> wi th the City of Louisville or the degree of contiguity the property <br /> has with the City. It is the policy of the City that the fact the <br /> property is completely surrounded is a factor favoring annexation. <br /> B) The effect the annexation would have on utility <br /> services being provided by the City. A review should be made whether <br /> the property is currently receiving City services and whether <br /> services will affect the City's ability to provide utility services <br /> to it's residents.
