7 For categories where the future LOS is higher than the existing LOS, as is the case in most of the developed park and facility categories shown in Table E-3, the implication for the SDC methodology is that there is no available capacity in the existing system for these categories. Where the reverse is true – primarily land acquisition for all park types, developed acreage for metropolitan parks and botanical gardens – a portion of the existing system inventory will help meet the needs of future development, which has implications for calculation of the reimbursement fee (discussed further under the “SDC Cost Basis” section). 1.1.3 Growth Capacity Needs Table E-4 provides a summary of the growth capacity needs based on the LOS analysis. It begins with a determination of the total units needed to meet future/ growth needs by category, based on the planned LOS (Table E-3) and the growth in equivalent population (Table E-1). Table E-4 also indicates the portion of acreage and facilities that will be provided by projects listed in the Project Plan and by existing system inventory (for those park categories where available capacity exists).

As discussed previously, the Project Plan includes improvements to increase the LOS for future users relative to the current LOS in several categories. The capacity needs for growth shown in Table E-4 are exclusive of the additional parks, trails and facilities that are needed to increase the LOS for existing development.
