The total urban land use in the year 2045 will remain small in comparison to agriculture land use. Based on current population land densities and extrapolating that number based on projected populations in 2045, total M&I land use should be approximately 81,641 acres. (Chapter IILB) (135,675 people/19,273 acres (M&I land use excluding Other land category) = 7.0 people per acre; the projected population in 2045 is then divided by the number of people per acre previously determined, 571,487 peoplel7.0 people per acre = 81,641 total acres). Subtracting the current M&I land use (19,273) from the projected population land use in 2045 (81,641) equals the total projected M&I land use growth (62,368 acres) in 2045. This number coincides with the Draft: Subject To Revision 12/21/95 15
