Exhibit E Comprehensive Plan Appendix 6 Rainier Street & Upper Sims Way Subarea Plan Section 9.3 -- Future Recreation and Open Space Proportionate Recreation and Open Space Demand • WESTERN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS: In the western areas, future residential neighborhoods will develop and will create new demand for parks. The R-1II and R -IV residential land use designations in this area encompass approximately 23.4 acres of vacant and undeveloped land. These areas will generate approximately 161444 - to 322 22-6 additional housing units. This growth equates to a population increase of approximately 339 2W to 676 47-5 new residents when using the City's typical 2.1 -person household size. The adopted LOS (7.6/1,000) calculates a demand of 5.14 3-:61- acres of additional parkland to support the anticipated population in this area. Table 9.2.b lists the future recreational and open space demand for the residential land use designations. As a means to achieve the LOS standards, developers may be required to provide their proportional share of parks and open space as part of individual housing projects. • TABLE 9.2.b -- FUTURE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE DEMAND (WESTERN SUBAREA) ..
