Centerville 2040 Chapter 4: Housing <br /> • Mixed-Use: 12 - 30 dwelling units/acre <br /> These land use categories and corresponding densities are included on the Future Land <br /> Use Map 3-2. The result of this analysis is displayed on the map and table above. This <br /> information was presented to the public and approved by the City Council during the <br /> Comprehensive Plan update process. <br /> The table demonstrates how the City can achieve a population over 5,000 at full <br /> development by changing some land use categories to higher densities and redeveloping <br /> the downtown area according to the downtown development guidelines. These changes <br /> also help the City meet life-cycle housing goals by providing areas for medium and high- <br /> density housing. <br /> Building Permits <br /> Permit data can give an accurate reflection of the amount and type of growth occurring in <br /> a community over a longer time period. The number of permits issued during a particular <br /> timeframe is also somewhat independent of land area consumed given different lot sizes <br /> and density; therefore, it is useful for tracking growth in housing units, but not necessarily <br /> changes in land use. TABLE 25 shows the number of building permits issued by type since <br /> 2010. There were no commercial building permits issued between 2010 and 2015. <br /> TABLE 25—PERMITS ISSUED BY TYPE <br /> Building Permit - Residential and Commercial <br /> $3,500,000 <br /> $3,000,000 <br /> $2,500,000 <br /> $2,000,000 <br /> $1,500,000 <br /> $1,000,000 <br /> $500,000 <br /> $0 <br /> 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 <br /> Residential Commercial <br /> The graph shows a steady increase in residential permits issued since the 2010, as the <br /> economy recovered from the 2008 recession. The recent leveling off may be attributable to <br /> the fact that Centerville is reaching full build-out. Table 26 below, showing estimated value <br /> Chapter 4 1 Page 4 <br /> 22 <br />
