<br />Homebuilders Association of Lane County (HBA) raised concerns over this approach. The <br />concerns related primarily to issues of equity, and whether a system-wide approach is <br />appropriate for allocation of neighborhood parks which are planned for individual service areas <br />within the overall park system. <br />As a response to the HBA’s concern, City staff worked with the Lane Council of Governments <br />(LCOG) to conduct a capacity analysis for individual neighborhood park service areas. The <br />results of this analysis were then used to develop an alternate allocation of existing and future <br />neighborhood parks between existing park users (existing population) and future users (growth <br />population), and a resulting estimated SDC was derived. <br />Neighborhood Park Service Area Capacity Analysis <br />General Approach <br />The following general approach was used in performing an analysis of existing and future <br />population served at the individual park service area level: <br />1. <br />Establish future neighborhood park service areas resulting from implementation of the <br /> <br /> This required <br />PROS Project and Priorities Plan projects related to neighborhood parks. <br />making assumptions about the locations of future parks and service areas and the extent <br />of revised park service areas due to access improvement projects in the adopted project <br />list. Generally, the assumption of a neighborhood park service area boundary is that it <br />includes areas within a ½-mile safe walking distance of a neighborhood park. Three types <br />of neighborhood park service areas were delineated: existing park service areas; <br />expanded park service areas due to access improvements; and, future park project service <br />areas. <br />2. <br />Estimate existing population within existing and future neighborhood park service <br /> <br /> Parks service for the existing (2005) population was estimated using address data <br />areas. <br />from the Regional GIS. Existing dwelling unit types were identified by land use code and <br />were multiplied by an average household size factor for that dwelling type. Average <br />household size factors used in the analysis were consistent with the City’s SDC <br />methodology. <br />3. <br />Estimate future population within existing and future neighborhood park service areas. <br /> <br />Future population (2025) growth within park service areas was estimated by applying <br />dwelling-unit-density and household size assumptions to potentially buildable residential <br />lands inside the Eugene UGB. <br />4. <br />Determine percentage of total population served within neighborhood park service <br /> <br /> <br />areas attributable to existing (2005) population versus future (2025) growth population. <br />This is a simple calculation using the results of steps 2 and 3. <br />Summary of Results <br /> <br />Existing Population <br /> <br />Estimated existing population served by neighborhood parks service areas, based on existing <br />dwelling units, dwelling unit types and average household size factors are shown in Table 1. <br /> <br />B,NPGA P26 <br />ATTACHMENT EIGHBORHOOD ARK ROWTH LLOCATION AGE OF <br /> <br />
