6 <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The preliminary analysis employed in this paper has <br /> been of a cursory nature. However, several points readily <br /> emerge: <br /> - A substantial increase in County JPA population is <br /> expected by 2000; <br /> - Population growth will result in increased demand <br /> for land; and <br /> - A sizable portion of the County JPA is unavailable <br /> • for development because of environmental and <br /> related conditions. <br /> This raises the following questions for discussion: <br /> Population <br /> • (1) Can the area (and sub-areas) support the projected <br /> population? <br /> (2) What are preferred (and realistic) population <br /> densities? <br /> (3) Which areas are best able to support high population <br /> densities? <br /> • Tand Use <br /> (1) At what densities should residential development <br /> occur? <br /> (2) Where should residential development be directed to? <br /> (3) What will be the policy on in-fill development? <br /> (4) Will residential development be encouraged or <br /> discouraged along the I-40 corridor? <br /> (5) Commercial/Service uses will be required to serve the <br /> increased population. Where will they be located? <br /> (6) Land in the 1-40 corridor would seem prime for light <br /> manufacturing and wholesaling uses with the proper <br /> • infrastructure. To what extent and where should such <br /> • uses be allowed? <br />
