Low Medium High Total Density Densitv Density Buildable Land Remaining for Residential Use in Acres 3,176 408 153 3,737 Low-High 2000 - 2015 Land 2,585 - 2,989 - Demand Range in Acres 3,513 328 - 446 75 - 102 4,061 Thus, based on this analysis, the land remaining is within the low- to high-range of land demand for the 2000-2015 period in all categories. Characteristics of Housin2 Development Although information on land consumption covered the entire July 1992 to June 2000 period, information on housing characteristics was collected for fiscal year 2000. This is primarily because of the difficulty in obtaining the information over the eight-year period as building permit tracking systems changed and some information, including lot size, was not collected over the entire period. Housing Type In fiscal year 2000, building permits were approved for 1,314 units. The majority, 65 percent, of these units was single-family, detached. Approximately 9 percent were single-family, attached; 18 percent apartments; and 8 percent manufactured dwellings in parks. The Residential Land and Housing Study assumed the future housing need during the 1992 to 2015 period to be 40 percent single-family, detached; 12 percent single- . family, attached; 35 percent apartments; and 13 percent manufactured dwellings in parks. 5
