Population IRC provides parks and recreation facilities and services in the unincorporated areas of the county . The municipalities provide these facilities and services within their respective jurisdictions . As a result, the parks and recreation impact fee analysis will consider only unincorporated county area population and parks and recreational facilities located within the unincorporated county area . Section II , Table II - 1 , provides the estimated unincorporated area population for 2004 and the projected unincorporated area population through 2025 . Level of Service Standard The current LOS for parks in unincorporated IRC is 6 . 61 acres per 1 , 000 population . This LOS is based on regional , community , and neighborhood parks that are available to persons in unincorporated IRC and is well above the adopted countywide standard reflected in the IRC Comprehensive Plan (4 acres per 1 , 000 residents) . Rather than allow future development to consume the parks acreage capacity currently available above the 4 acre standard , the current LOS of 6 . 61 acres per 1 , 000 population will be the adopted LOS standard for the unincorporated area of IRC . This will be implemented through an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan . Table X -2 shows the calculation of the current LOS standard , which will be combined for the unincorporated area of IRC for both regional and community/neighborhood parks . Community and neighborhood parks have been combined because they have similar types of facilities and both typically service smaller communities within unincorporated IRC . Regional parks are larger parks that serve the population of the entire unincorporated county , and are thus considered separate from community and neighborhood parks .
