Table E-3 Existing and Planned LOS (Units/ 1,000 Equivalent Population) Existing1 Future2 Category Unit Measure Total Acquired Total Developed Total Acquired Total Developed Parks Acres Neighborhood 1.26 0.57 1.15 0.58 Community 2.27 0.68 1.97 0.70 Metropolitan 4.53 0.99 3.71 0.84 Natural Area 7.70 0.00 7.26 0.00 Urban Plazas 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 Linear Parks 1.29 0.00 1.05 0.00 Total Parks 17.07 2.24 15.16 2.12 Recreation Trails Miles 0.19 0.19 0.23 0.24 Special Facilities Sq.

In carrying out the projects included in the Project Plan, the City intends to acquire new acreage for most park categories and to develop both existing undeveloped acreage and newly acquired acreage (as shown previously in Table E-2). Consistent with the prioritization of projects in the System Plan, the rate of planned park development is higher than the rate of additional land acquisition. This is reflected in the LOS numbers shown in Table E-3. For example, while the future LOS for acquired acreage decreases slightly for neighborhood and community parks, the LOS for developed acreage increases slightly. Similarly, the LOS for trails, special facilities and recreation amenities shown in Table E-3 increases, reflecting the community’s desire for these services.
