A. When an annexation is initiated by a private individual, the planning director may include other parcels of property in the proposed annexation to make a boundary extension more logical and to avoid parcels of land which are not incorporated but are partially or wholly surrounded by the city of Talent.

B. The director, in a report to the commission and council, shall justify the inclusion of any parcels other than the parcel for which the petition is filed.

C. The purpose of this section is to permit the planning commission and council to make more logical and orderly extensions of the city’s boundaries. [Ord. 845 § 2 (Exh. A); Ord. 817 § 8-3M.350, 2006.]
