B. LAND USE AND POPULATION ASSUMPTIONS SUMMARY The.impactfeeLandUse Assumptions used in this report were prepared by - Dunkin, Se~o& Associates, Inc. and are presented in a. separate. document. . The Land Use Assumptions report documents existing land use pattemsandpopulationsfor the base year 2002. The City's corporate limits include 11,118 acres with an existing 2002 base population ,estimate of 40,514. The total land are_a within th~ w~ter service area is 45,354 acres with an estimated 17,350 dwellings and a population of 45,800.

It is important to note that a portion of the City's water service area is also served by the Crystal Clear Water System in an area of dual CCN. This means that either the City or Crystal Clear may provide water service.. Using historical buildingpe~it issuance for single family residentialpennits as an indication of growth potential, itis projected that an average of675 dwellings units, per year could be constructed over the next ten years. A household size of 2.31 persons per household, based lip on 2000 u.s. Census data, and an'occupancyrate of'95 percent from the.2001 U.S. Census'were'used to.calculate the future population. The_following_ shows th~fonnula for calculating the ten-year ;growth projections for each service area: · 675 dwelJing units/year x 0.95 occupancy rate =641. dweJlingunits/year · 641-occupieddwellingunits/yearx,2.31-personsper household = 1,480 persons/year. · 1,480 persons/yearx 10 years = 14,800 persons net ten-year growth. This growth rate represents an approximate 2.8% and 2.6% compounded average annual growth rate for water and wastewater service areas respectively.
