Such amendments shall identify the location of the district on the future land use map and shall update the plan's data and analysis section to reflect the population impacts of the district. Compliance with all new town designation requirements shall indicate that a proposed new town district amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan and wan -ants approval: a. no new town district shall be established unless it meets the following minimum size requirements: BOUNDARY TO BOUNDARY DISTANCE MINIMUM FROM URBAN SERVICE AREA SIZE * one mile or less 1200 acres * more than one mile but less than six miles 2400 acres * more than six miles 3600 acres b. no new town district shall be established unless it is located on or has access to an arterial road C. no new town district shall be designated within 6 miles of an existing new town district d. no new town district shall be approved unless it is consistent with the Concurrency Management System e. no new town district shall be approved without a finding that the district, as approved, will have no adverse impact on natural resources f. no new town district shall be approved unless the project application is supported by sufficient data and analysis to justify the need for the project. The need justification can be met by data and analysis which shows that the project's projected population together with the projected population of any other approved new town projects will not increase the county's residential allocation factor for the time horizon of the comprehensive plan. Policy 1-35: The new town land use designation shall be established through the Planned Development (PD) process. For any land to receive the new town land use designation, a PD project must be approved which clusters residential and non-residential uses in a manner which protects agricultural and open space areas, protects natural resources, creates a self-sufficient community, minimizes off-site traffic, and does not increase urban sprawl.
