E. Land Use and SoGlo-economic Fcrecaat Relationships As part of responding to new directives in the policy plan, Orono will need to demonstrate that its land use plan is related to its forecasts for households and employment at the Traffic Assignment Zone (TAZ) level. This section provides 2010 population, household and employment forecasts for each TAZ located within Orono. 1980 Census data is provided at the TAZ level for comparison. Orono should review the TAZ level forecasts in Table 1 and, if necessary, submit suggested revisions by June 1, 1989. Any redistribution at the TAZ level should be consistent with the 2010 municipal totals for population, households and employment. By Oct. 1, 1989, Council staff will finalize the 2010 forecasts based upon the oouBBunlty's input and negotiations with city staff, if necessary, and will determine whether those changes will further affect the metropolitan highway system. In addition to the TAZ forecasts, information is provided in this section regarding conversion factors by land use type that will allow calculation of theoretical levels of population and employment at maximum development. The city should compile the land use data for each TAZ in Orono, using the land use categories and conversion factors found in Table 2. The city should also differentiate between existing development and additional development anticipated by 2010. If either the categories or the conversion factors are not applicable or woricable in Orono, please contact the Council so we can resolve this issue prior to the completion of a plan amendment. The city will note that several commonly used land use categories are not listed in the table. These include public and semi- public uses and vacant and agricultural land. These categories were not included because they tend not to contribute to peak hour traffic. 0ROM0/PHTRN1§5
