Overall, land use <br />amendments, rezonings, and development project approvals in one jurisdiction can affect other local governments. <br />For public schools, land use decisions in one jurisdiction can produce impacts on public school enrollment. While new residential <br />development will increase the demand on available student stations, up -front coordination between the county, the school district and <br />municipalities is important to ensure that the pace and extent of new residential development is concurrent with the expansion of school <br />facilities and that the adopted level of service is maintained. To do so, it is important that the school district be notified in advance of <br />pending land use decisions that will increase residential density. As part of that process, the number of students generated and the schools <br />that they will impact must be identified. It is also important to develop measures to mitigate impacts and establish a process to resolve <br />disputes. <br />In 2003, the Board of County Commissioners, the school district, and the cities of Fellsmere, Sebastian, and Vero Beach signed an <br />interlocal agreement for public school planning. This agreement provided for establishing several committees; coordinating and sharing <br />information; coordinating school site selection and school facility modification; reviewing comprehensive plan amendments, rezonings, and <br />development approvals; co -locating and sharing use of facilities; and addressing other school coordination issues. Subsequently, a new <br />interlocal agreement for coordinated planning and school concurrency was drafted and adopted in 2008. In the future, the county should <br />continue to coordinate with school board as mandated by the Interlocal Agreement. <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 4 4 <br />
