As with all development, a more detailed review will be conducted
<br />during the development approval process.
<br />- Recreation
<br />A review of county recreation facilities and the projected demand
<br />that would _result from the most intense development that could
<br />occur on the property under the proposed amendment indicates that
<br />the adopted levels of service would be maintained. The table below
<br />illustrates the additional park demand associated with the proposed
<br />development of the property and the existing surplus acreage by
<br />park type.
<br />Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all
<br />concurrency -mandated facilities, including drainage, roads, solid
<br />waste, recreation, water, and wastewater have adequate capacity to
<br />accommodate the most intense use of the subject property under the
<br />proposed amendment. Therefore, the concurrency test has been
<br />satisfied for the subject request.
<br />Impact on the Residential Allocation Ratio
<br />Of particular importance to this request is the impact of the land
<br />use change on the county's Residential Allocation Ratio (RAR). A
<br />RAR is the measure of total residential units allowed under the
<br />land use plan compared to the number of residential units expected
<br />to be needed through the plan's planning horizon, based on
<br />population projections.
<br />In 1990, when the comprehensive plan was adopted, it allowed over
<br />119,000 units. In this case, the proposed amendment would increase
<br />the maximum number of residential units allowed on the site by 37.
<br />That increase would have an insignificant impact on the county's
<br />RAR.
<br />More than off -setting the 37 unit increase that would occur with
<br />the proposed amendment is the reduction in build -out units that has
<br />resulted from land use plan amendment approvals since plan
<br />adoption. Since plan adoption, several land use amendments
<br />involving residentially designated land within the urban service
<br />area have been approved. The effect of these amendments has been
<br />a net decrease of 1,169 units in the county's build -out projection.
<br />The following table depicts the information used to determine the
<br />change in the number .of units. Since the C/I, RC, and C-1
<br />designations are not intended for residential uses, land use
<br />amendments redesignating land from residential to C/I, RC, or C-1
<br />reduce the number of units allowed. Similarly, land use amendments
<br />redesignating land from one type of residential to a lower density
<br />residential reduce the number of units allowed.
<br />In contrast, amendments redesignating land from C/I, RC, or C-1 to
<br />residential, or from one type of residential to a higher density
<br />residential, increase the number of units allowed. Staff estimates
