<br />(8) Land Use Index - Drainage subbasins were correlated with census <br />tract boundaries and land use data derived by t.he Denver Regional Council <br />of Governments was used to develop a land use index number. Land use <br />was assigned a rank number according to this classification: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Land Use Ranking <br /> <br />Rank <br /> <br />Land Use Classification <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />Agricultural or Vacant <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Parks & Recreation <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />Public, Semipublic, Services or Commercial <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Industrial, Transportation & Communication <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />Single or Multifamily Residential <br /> <br />For each census tract an index number is computed by summing the product <br />of rank number and the percent of the tract occupied by the corresponding <br />land use. Wherever a basin occupies portions of more than one census <br />tract, the range of index numbers from low to high is given. <br /> <br />(9) Population Density - The number of people per acre is computed <br />for each census tract. Where a subbasin occupies more than one tract <br />the range from low to high is given. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />(10) Basin/Flood Plain Development Status - Every subbasin has been <br />classified in terms of the present status of development within the <br />basin using this alphabetic classification system: <br /> <br />Classification of Basin/Flood Plain Status <br /> <br />Cl ass ificat ion <br /> <br />Description <br /> <br />A <br /> <br />Full Development - Includes basins in which <br />urbanization is complete or essentially complete, <br />and also basins, particularly those in the foothill <br />areas, in which development has reached essentially <br />its full st.age. <br /> <br />B <br /> <br />Probable Development - Includes basins that have not <br />reached full development stat.us, but. will in the <br />immediate future become fully developed. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />10 <br />
