RES 1104RESOLUTION NO.,'
A RESOLUTION establishing procedures for the comprehensive
plan designation and zoning of real property being annexed to the City
by the petition method.
WHEREAS,property annexed to the City without a comprehensive plan designation and
zoning regulation may result in haphazard development that is inconsistent with City of Camas
planning policies and goals;and
WHEREAS,the Council desires to adopt procedures to ensure that land annexed to the
City of Camas cannot be developed without review and approval by the City of Camas,
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMAS AS FOLLOWS :

the development of the property consistent with Camas planning policies and goals,or 3)there is
a development agreement,a development moratorium,or some other mechanism that ensures no
