Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element <br />Source: Indian River County Budget 2013/14. <br />Local Policies and Practices <br />As part of the capital improvements planning process, it is important to do an inventory of current <br />Indian River County policies and practices that guide the timing, location, expansion, or increase in <br />capacity of capital facilities. Those policies and practices relate to the county's existing level -of - <br />service standards, impact fee programs, comprehensive plan, and enterprise fund accounts. <br />Existing Level -of -Service Standards <br />Level -of -service (LOS) standards are indicators of the extent or degree of service provided by, or <br />proposed to be provided by, a facility based on and related to the operational characteristics of the <br />facility. Level -of -service standards indicate the capacity per unit of demand of each public facility. <br />Level -of -service standards can affect the timing and location of development by guiding development <br />to areas where facilities may have excess capacity. Indian River County has level -of -service <br />standards for capital facilities as follows: <br />➢ Correctional Facilities (Countywide) <br />• 4.5 beds per 1,000 permanent plus weighted peak seasonal population <br />➢ Fire/EMS (Countywide, excluding Indian River Shores) <br />• .089 Stations per 1,000 permanent plus weighted peak seasonal population <br />➢ Law Enforcement (Unincorporated County) <br />Community Development Department Indian River County <br />Adopted , 2013, Ordinance 2013- <br />23 <br />
