vacant land owned by a public agency and not intended for residential development from consideration as ~buildable land". Publicly owned land is generally not considered available for residential use. The State Board of Higher Education owns 113 of the 122 parcels located within the affected area. Nine parcels remain in private ownership. Of the nine privately-owned parcels, four parcels are in the area proposed for re-designation to another land use classification. The four parcels total .51 acres in size. Goal 10 requires that communities plan for and maintain an inventory ofbuildable residential land for needed housing units. The Metropolitan _Area General Plan - Residential Land and Housing Element implements Goal 10 by providing background data and analysis, findings and policies related to the provision of residential lands inside the urban growth boundary. With the adoption of the 1999 Residential Lands Study, the following finding was incorporated into the Metro Plan: "There is sufficient buildable restdential land within the existing urban growth boundar3., to meet the future housing needs of the projected population. In fact, the 1992 residenttal buildable land supply exceeds the 1992-2015 restdential land demand in all residential categories. Assuming land is consumed evenly over the period, by 1999, there w~I1 be at least a 20 3'ear supply of residenttal land remaining ms,de the urban growth boundary" Goals 11 through 19.
