"Demonstrated need to accommodate long-range urban population growth <br />requirements consistent, with LCDC goals;" <br />Population projections, employment projections, and housing projections were <br />prepared representing the best available technical information about long-range <br />urban growth in the metropolitan area. These projections were translated into <br />total land use needs. The Metro Plan Diagram was then constructed to <br />accommodate projected residential growth, assuming new residential construction <br />over the planning period would, on an overall metropolitan-wide basis, average <br />approximately six dwelling units per gross acre. <br />Factor 2. "Need for housing, employment opportunities, and livability;" <br />The population and employment projections were translated into need for <br />residential, commercial, and industrial land in response to local and statewide <br />goals, objectives, and policies. Extreme care has been taken to consider the <br />demand (projections) when analyzing the land supply in an effort to provide <br />adequate housing and employment opportunities. <br />II-G-13 67 <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 388 <br />
