To maintain acceptable per capita costs for City services such as <br />snowplowing, road maintenance, and fire and police protection. <br />e. To define a "trigger mechanism" that will establish a formula for the <br />rezoning of rural -business reserve land to a business use as <br />needed. <br />2.
