ALL OF THE COURSES, DISTANCES AND DESCRIPTIONS AFORESAID ARE SHOWN UPON A MAP ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CITY PLANNING ENGINEER OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, WHICH INDICATES GENERALLY SUBDIVISIONS, INDUSTRIAL AREAS, FARM AREAS, VACANT AREAS, AND OTHERS, TOGETHER WITH ANY OTHER INFORMATION DEEMED RELEVANT AS TO POSSIBLE FUTURE USES OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE ANNEXATION AREA. FOR THE PURPOSE OF SERVING NOTICE, A MAP OF THE AREA, PHOTOSTATICALLY REDUCED AND SHOWING THE SAME INFORMATION BY MARKINGS, SHALL BE ATTACHED HERETO. THE GROUNDS, WALKS AND DRIVEWAYS AND ALL LANDS BELONGING TO "THE RECTORS AND VISITORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA", A CORPORATION, ALTHOUGH EMBRACED WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, SHALL BE EXCLUDED THEREFROM AND SO REMAIN AND CONTINUE IN ALL RESPECTS AND FOR ALL PURPOSES A PART OF THE COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE. THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE DOES HEREBY SET FORTH THE NECESSITY FOR AND EXPEDIENCY OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION: 1. THAT A LARGE PART OF THE TERRITORY PROPOSED TO BE ANNEXED CONSTITUTES A HIGHLY URBANIZED AREA WHICH ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGISLATIVE POLICY OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA SHOULD BE GOVERNED BY THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE; 2. THE AREA PROPOSED FOR ANNEXATION TOGETHER WITH THE PRESENT CITY AREA CONSTITUTES A COMPACT BODY OF LAND PECULIARLY ADAPTABLE TO CITY GROWTH AND GOVERNMENT AND ALL OF THE TERRITORY IS NEEDED IN THE REASONABLE NEAR FUTURE FOR THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT; 3. FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS PAST THERE HAS BEEN A RAPID RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BOTH WITHIN THE PRESENT CITY LIMITS AND IN THE TERRITORY IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE CITY LIMITS. AS A RESULT AN INCREASED NUMBER OF FAMILIES REQUIRE SUITABLE AREAS FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT BEYOND THE CAPACITY OF THE VACANT LANDS NOW WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS AND THE MANY FAMILIES NOW LIVING IN APARTMENTS OR SMALL QUARTERS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS WITHIN THE PRESENT CITY LIMITS REQUIRE ADDITIONAL TERRITORY WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS ADAPTABLE TO RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES AND AFFORDING DESIRABLE LOCATIONS FOR HOME SITES. SUFFICIENT LAND SUITABLE FOR THESE PURPOSES AND FOR FURTHER INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL EXPANSION IS NOT NOW AVAILABLE WITHIN THE PRESENT CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS AND DESIRES OF ITS PRESENT OR FUTURE POPULATION WHICH WILL BE ATTRACTED TO THE CITY AND THE ADJACENT AREAS IN ALBEMARLE COUNTY. MANY FORMER RESIDENTS AND NEWCOMERS TO THE CHARLOTTESVILLE AREA HAVE BEEN COMPELLED TO ESTABLISH THEIR RESIDENCES AND BUSINESSES BEYOND THE CORPORATE LIMITS BECAUSE SUITABLE OR DESIRABLE LAND WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE CITY. MUCH OF THE SUBURBAN DEVELOPMENT AND SUBDIVISION OF PROPERTY INTO LOTS HAS TAKEN PLACE IN THE TERRITORY WHICH IS PROPOSED TO BE ANNEXED, AND WHICH LIES JUST OUTSIDE THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE IN LINE WITH ITS INEVITABLE GROWTH; 4. THE CREATION OF ATTRACTIVE, EFFICIENT, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS RELATED TO DESIRABLE AND WELL PROTECTED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS CAN ONLY RESULT FROM AN INTELLIGENT ZONING POLICY WHICH IS APPLIED TO THE ENTIRE AREA OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT. THIS COHESIVE DEVELOPMENT CAN NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED EXCEPT UNDER CITY GOVERNMENT OF THE AREA SINCE NO ZONING CONTROLS EXIST IN THE COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE. WITHOUT SUCH CONTROLS THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASING DEVELOPMENT OF MIXED, INCOMPATIBLE LAND USES IN
