City and county officials reviewed a joint interlocal proposal mapping two growth zones around Ottawa: an urban growth area inside roughly one mile from the city and a rural growth area about one mile beyond. The plan limits city control mainly to growth and building in the urban zone while county rules remain, with septic treatment, planning review, and a 10 year term subject to renewals and two-thirds votes for changes.
