Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element Table 12.4: Projected Building Permits 2010 - 2014 Source: Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), 2009. Residential Development Activity While building permit data provide an indication of future growth, development review activity also serves as a growth indicator. Consequently, development review information, including the number of new residential housing units under review by Indian River County and municipal planning departments in Indian River County, was collected. This information can assist the local governments and School District in anticipating the demand for public schools. Figure 12.1 depicts the location and intensity of approved and potential new residential development. This information was obtained from the County and municipalities. For analysis, these data were incorporated into a GIS dataset. In Figure 12.1, new residential development is thematically symbolized by the number of approved housing units. The darker shaded areas identify developments with a higher number of housing units, while the lighter shaded portions indicate developments with a lower number of housing units. Generally, it is expected that those areas with an increase in proposed new residential developments will experience a higher demand for new schools.
