New Land Suitability Plan

[danlb_2000]

Why would the area between MK and the railroad track have been downgraded?

That's a good question since it went all the way from suitable down to marginally unsuitable.

Around Magic Kingdom, there are two areas behind the park that have gone from Unsuitable to Marginally Unsuitable. The area at the back of the park between the park and the railroad track has gone from suitable to either Marginally Suitable or Marginally Unsuitable.

Where is the full map for 2023? ...and this 2020 map is from way before 2020, it doesn't even have the Magic Kingdom bus stops on it

Rain water run off from newer construction would cause changes like that, there's a new water retention pond behind Beast castle restaurant that downgrades the area were a rain water pond was dug out

As far as compensating land, I would not forget the ranges that they bought (2700 acres) to the East-SouthEast of Celebration.

Page 122 shows where they plan future expansion between 2027/2032. Square #10, West of Magic Kingdom and North of The Grand Floridian, shows "Hotel/Resort - Potential", and only the north side of the ESPN complex shows "Entertainment - Potential"

This thing is extremely comprehensive, it shows Magic Kingdom as the highest elevation, and shows how the canal system works... the plot of land where The Venetian Resort was supposed to go is still the best place to build on property

They have not yet started the process of developing a new comprehensive plan even though they need one to do the things they claim to be hindered from doing.

The color chart keeps throwing me off. To me red means "no" and green means "go," so with "suitability" I'd expect suitable to be green and unsuitable scale to be shades of red. But nope, it's the other way around.

Is it that green=conservation and water retention?

Are you sure? I thought I saw passages demanding that Disney prove future projects will not exceed the limits of Table 2-1.

As I read more you are correct, although there are processes for amending the document to allow more development.

That's what I wrote? We appear to be at cross-purposes here?

Anyway, I thought of a saner way of interpreting Table 2-1:


Maybe the increment is the increment for the maximum amount of parks from that time forward, not the maximum amount of actual addition parks?

Have the second 5 year increment be blank for new parks is interesting.
