Centerville 2040 Comprehensive Plan High Density: 8 - 25 dwelling units/acre Central Business District/Mixed-Use: 12 - 30 dwelling units/acre These land use categories and corresponding densities are included on the Future Land Use Map 3-2. The result of this analysis is displayed on the map and table above. This information was presented to the public and approved by the City Council during the Comprehensive Plan update process. The table demonstrates how the City can achieve a population over 5,000 at full development by changing some land use categories to higher densities and redeveloping the downtown area according to the downtown development guidelines. These changes also help the City meet life-cycle housing goals by providing areas for medium and high-density housing. Building Permits Permit data can give an accurate reflection of the amount and type of growth occurring in a community over a longer time period. The number of permits issued during a particular timeframe is also somewhat independent of land area consumed given different lot sizes and density; therefore, it is useful for tracking growth in housing units, but not necessarily changes in land use. The graph shows a steady increase in the valuation of residential permits issued since the 2010, as the economy recovered from the 2008 recession. The recent leveling off may be attributable to the fact that Centerville is reaching full build-out. Table 26 below, showing estimated value of permits, shows a similar trend. Permit value increased sharply from 2010 to 2012, and then leveled off in subsequent years.
