WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, 29-20-101 et seq., C.R.S. as amended, enables the Parties to enter into Intergovernmental Agreements to plan for and regulate land uses, in order to minimize the negative impacts of development on the surrounding areas and protect the environment, and specifically authorizes local governments to cooperate and contract with each other for the purpose of planning and regulating the development of land by means of a "comprehensive development plan"; and WHEREAS, in order to ensure that the unique and individual character of Boulder, Louisville, and Superior, respectively, are preserved, the Parties believe that a comprehensive development plan which recognizes the annexed areas and development approved by each community, accompanied by binding commitments by the responsible jurisdictions for the preservation of the rural character of surrounding lands as identified within the Plan Area, is in the best interest of the citizens of each of the Parties; and WHEREAS, the prohibition of rezoning or other discretionary land use approvals by Boulder County and of annexation or development by Boulder, Louisville, or Superior, of certain lands within the Plan Area, is intended to preclude increased development and urban sprawl which would obliterate the boundaries of Boulder, Louisville, or Superior, and would, if permitted in the unincorporated area, require the provision of urban services by Boulder County, in contravention of provisions of the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan; and WHEREAS, the parcels designated Rural Preservation do not currently have City utility services, and the Municipal Parties are not currently capable of providing such services to development on such parcels; and WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Intergovernmental Agreement in order to plan for and regulate the use of the lands within the Plan Area through joint adoption of a mutually binding and enforceable comprehensive development plan; and WHEREAS, the Parties find that designating a portion of the Plan Area to remain as Rural Preservation for the purpose of preserving a community buffer serves the economic and civic interest of their citizens and meets the goals of the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan, and meets the goals and furthers the purposes of the comprehensive and master plans of the Municipal Parties, as stated in such plans and applicable laws; and
