COMMI FICHSGS <br />Improvements that do not contradict, limit or substantially change the goals and policies <br />of any element of this Comprehensive Plan. <br />Public fatality improvements may also provide capacity in excess of what would be required to <br />achieve or maintain levels of service standards (Le., the minimum capacity of capital project is <br />larger than the capacity required to provide the level of service). Excess capacity is beneficial if <br />It results in economies of scale making it less expensive than a comparable amount of capacity if <br />acquired at a later date. However, these projects should be given a lower priority than projects <br />needed to maintain levels of service standards. <br />Analysis of Future Development <br />The County will estimate the type and amount of public facilities needed to accommodate future <br />growth by evaluating previously issued development permits and determining future growth <br />patterns. <br />Future development will be required to pay its fair share ofthe capital improvements needed to <br />address the impact of such development and the portion of the cost of the replacement of obsolete <br />or worn out facilities. The different methods of payment allowed for these capital improvements <br />include: <br />• Voluntary contributions for the benefit of any public facility. <br />• SEPA mitigation payments. <br />M Dedications of land. <br />• Provision of public facilities. <br />Future development will not be required to pay fees for needed public facilities to reduce or <br />eliminate existing deficiencies. <br />The growth forecasts, to be used for planning purposes and the specific growth targets for each <br />UGA, are developed using the Kittitas County population projections established by the State of <br />Washington Office of Financial Management (OFM). The OFM prepares higb, medium and low <br />forecasts for each county, with the middle range representing the most likely scenario. Kittitas <br />Cowiy jurisdictions determined that the high forecast best represents growth trends in this area, <br />In 2010, the Kittitas County Conference of Governments (KCCOG) updated the Kittitas County <br />population allocation based on the 2002 OFM thigh forecast, which assumes a total population of <br />52,810 in 2025. This allocation is for all of the municipal UGAs and the umimcagwated rural <br />County.
