     (i) The county or city must determine the acreage and qualitative reduction in land suitable for development within the county or city and docket that amount as a deficiency to the planning director of the county or city in which the land is located; and
     (ii) By December 31, 2005, and at least every five years thereafter, each county or city shall increase the total amount of land suitable for development within the county or city by the total docketed acreage deficiency under (a)(i) of this subsection, with comparable qualitative land characteristics, through enactment of an ordinance.
     (b) For the purposes of this subsection:
     (i) "Docket" means compiling and maintaining a detailed list, available to the public, of acreage and land use deficiencies in a manner that ensures the deficiencies will be presented for the required periodic county or city action; and
