service (LOS). The planned LOS for a particular park or facility type is defined as the future quantity of acreage (or number of facilities) per 1,000 population served, as shown in the equation below: ExistingQ + PlannedQ = PlannedLOS FuturePopulation Served Where: Q = quantity (acres of parks, miles of trails, or number of recreation facilities) and Future Population Served = projected 20-year growth in system -wide equivalent population The planned LOS forms the basis for determining capacity needs for parks and recreation facilities. The capacity requirements of future growth are determined by multiplying the Planned LOS for each park and facility type by the projected growth in population for the planning period. The methods used to project future equivalent population and planned LOS are summarized below. 1.1.1 Equivalent Population The concept of "equivalent population' is used to recognize different utilization levels of parks and recreation facilities by residents, nonresidents in association with work, and nonresident overnight visitors, relative to the general population. Table E-1 provides a summary of population and equivalent population assumptions used in the SDC methodology.

The Survey indicated that park use attributable to nonresidential land uses (including overnight visitor accommodations) ranged from 13.6 percent to 31.1 percent of total park use, depending on the specific factors considered.
