RURAL DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />Available rural lots have averaged approximately 800 each year since at least 1984. <br /> <br />Permit activity has averaged approximately 14% of available lots each year since <br />1986. <br /> <br />Due to 4 in 40 density zoning, it is not expected that additional rural lots will be <br />created beyond those projected in the Northfork PUD. Hence, lot availability is <br />expected to decline after 1993, void of any change in zoning. <br /> <br />Several rural subdivisions became available between 1990 and 1992, creating <br />increased permit activity in 1991 and 1992. This is expected to decline slightly in <br />1993, and subsequent years, as available lots become less prime. <br /> <br />Permit activity beyond projected rates in future years will result in an earlier <br />depletion on the finite stock of rural lots. <br /> <br />Permit activity in 1992 and 1993 has been dominated by Hunters Ridge, Fox Ridge <br />Estates and to a lesser degree, Northfork PUD. These subdivisions have accounted <br />for 56% of the permits for 1992, 51% of the permits for 1993, and 53% of the <br />permits for 1994. <br /> <br />As of November 1994, the City has approximately 137 rural lots available for <br />development. Some of these remaining lots may be absorbed into the expanded <br />MUSA, resulting in their development as urban lots. <br /> <br />The City is reviewing these lots to determine the actual number of lots that are <br />developable and whether the current owners are receptive to donating the lots to the <br />City for public use. <br /> <br /> <br />
