Capita! Facilitle5 • Improvements that do not conttadict. limit or substantially change the goals and policies of any element of this Comprehensive Plan. Public facility improvements may also provide capacity in excess of what would be required to achieve or maintain levels of service standards (i.e., the minimum capacity of a capital project is larger than the capacity required to provide the level of service). Excess capacity is beneficial if it results in economies of scale making it less expensive than a comparable amount of capacity if acquired at a lat.er date. However, these projects should be given a lower priority than projects needed to maintain levels of service standards. Analysis of Future Development The County will estimate the type and amount of public facilities needed to accommodate future growth by evaluating previously issued development permits and detennining future growth patterns. Future development will be required to pay its fair share of the capital improvements needed to address the impact of such development and the portion of the cost of the replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities. The different methods of payment allowed for these capital improvements include: • Voluntary contributions for the benefit of any public facility. • SEPA mitigation payments. • Dedications of land. • Provision of public facilities. Future development will not be required to pay fees for needed public facilities to reduce or eliminate existing deficiencies. The growth forecasts, to be used for planning purposes and the specific growth targets for each UGA, are developed using the Kittitas County population projections established by the State of Washington Office of Financial Management (OFM). The OFM prepares high, medium and low forecasts for each county, with the middle range representing the most likely scenario. Kittitas County jurisdictions determined that the high forecast best represents growth trends in this area. In 2010, the Kittitas County Conference of Governments (KCCOO) updated the Kittitas County population allocation based on the 2002 OFM high forecast, which iwwnes a total population of 52,810 in 2025. This allocation is for all ofthe municipal UGAs and the unincorporated rural CoWlty. This allocation is shown in Table 5.2.2.
