Show Allocation by Municipalities Since the policies recommended by the 208 Project will have application to incorporated municipalities as well as the County and its special improvement districts, it was necessary to predict the levels of growth within their projected boundaries. Figure 10 shows the general existing boundaries of the cities and the projected boundaries of the communities of Sandy and West Jordan. All population distributions have been made on the basis of these projected boundaries. This distribution of the population used the same basic assumptions already described in Section III, but there are specific constraints to future assumptions of individual city growth which should be discussed here. Assumption- Salt Lake City-- Based on discussions with the Salt Lake City Planning Staff, our allocation reflects a realistic expectation of the level of residential growth which will take place there. Additional annexation can be expected on the west city boundary, but most likely for the purposes of industrial expansion. The likelihood of the annexation of Emigration Canyon is also present, due to future probable extension of sewer facilities into the Canyon as a solution to the severe residential waste disposal effect on water quality. This could add an additional 2,149 people to the Salt Lake City allocation if it were to occur.^ ' Assumptions- South Salt Lake, Murray, Midvale, South Jordan-- All four of these municipalities have no expansion policy. Population was added according to available land in the case of Murray, South Salt Lake and Midvale, but the major assumption regarding agricultural stability applies to the allocation for South Jordan. Once again, this could change with shifts in policy by the community council. 58 |
