Planning Commission - April 27, 2010 - Population, Building Permits and Land Use Distribution

Initial data regarding population, building permits and land use distribution have been gathered to provide a starting point for the UGA capacity analysis. The population data includes historical trends and projections provided by the State Office of Financial Management.
Data has also been collected on building permits that were issued since the 1970's. This data can reviewed to determine if there are any noticeable trends between population growth and development activity.
The current land distribution data has also been tallied for the existing City and unincorporated UGA. The unincorporated UGA does not include any of the property that was part of the 2005 UGA amendments.
The above information is scheduled to be shared with the Planning Commission on April 27, 2010. No recommendation or action is being requested at this time.
The commission will also be introduced to some methodologies to determine developable and undevelopable properties. The methodology under consideration is one that will use information from the Island County Assessors Data on valuation.
A copy of the presentation that will be given to the Planning Commission is attached here.
