WHAT ARE TEE CONSEQUENCES OF DIFFERENT DEVELP.'`'.E <br /> ONT STRATEGIES FOR RURAL GRANGE?50 2 <br /> This comparison of new lots, new people, new density, anti new open space follows <br /> the general format of the charts prepared by Marvin Collins in his "Rural Orange <br /> Buildout" package.\ It compares the different consequences of development under <br /> current conditions \(STATUS QUO) versus those recommended by the Rural Character <br /> Study Committee (most recent sliding scale option) . As with Marvin's charts, <br /> assumptions have to be- Made about how much of the remaining rural land gets <br /> developed in what way. Three different charts describe the consequences of <br /> using the Sliding Scale, with three different assumptions about the portion of <br /> land that is developed under various options. <br /> THE STATUS QUO <br /> Unbuilt Land Minus Minus Net Allow- New Average <br /> Development Remaining in 6.3% for °nen buiioable able t of People Lot Size <br /> • <br /> Option Orange County R.O.W.
