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 7 . 22 acres per 1 , 000 residents . This LOS is based on regional, community, and neighborhood parks that are available to citizens 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 7 .22 acres per 1 , 000 residents 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 .
