Table 3-2 provides a <br />summary of these findings. <br /> City Housing Assessments <br />There are five incorporated cities in Kittitas County, including Ellensburg, Kittitas, Cle Elum, Town of South <br />Cle Elum, and Roslyn. These cities have designated Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) outside of their current city <br />limits. It is recognized and anticipated that as these cities undergo their own individual Comprehensive Plan <br />Updates, they work concurrently with Kittitas County to accommodate future projected growth and housing <br />needs. Kittitas County intends to work collaboratively with neighboring jurisdictions and incorporated cities <br />in order to identify and address housing issues as they arise in an appropriately scaled and equitable manner. <br />Table 3-2 Housing and Population Capacity (2015) <br />UGA Study Areas Unit <br />Capacity <br />Occupancy <br />Rate Households Persons Per <br />Household <br />Population <br />Capacity <br /> Cle Elum 3,195 78% 2,407 2.19 5,434 <br /> Ellensburg 5,683 93% 2,835 2.23 11,757 <br /> Kittitas 344 91% 167 2.57 807 <br /> Roslyn 216 67% 146 2.11 307 <br /> South Cle Elum 235 87% 196 2.29 467 <br />Non-UGA Study Areas <br /> Easton 15 38% 6 3.29 19 <br /> Lavender 173 66% 114 2.34 267 <br /> Ranch on Swauk Creek 527 53% 277 3.28 910 <br /> Ronald 633 27% 168 2.42 408 <br /> Snoqualmie Pass 2,554 28% 710 2.36 1,674 <br /> SR 903/Salmon La Sac 95 25% 24 2.54 61 <br /> Suncadia 3,514 6% 217 1.75 379 <br /> Thorp 22 91% 20 2.35 48 <br /> Vantage 742 17% 126 2.42 306 <br />Total in Urban Areas 9,673 8,414 18,772 <br />Total in Rural Study Areas 8,276 1,663 4,072 <br />Source: Kittitas Land Capacity Analysis, 2016
