• <br />• <br />• <br />Indian River County 1 Impact Fee Update Study <br />Population <br />All impact fee program areas (except for educational facilities and transportation) require <br />the use of population data in calculating current levels -of -service, performance standards, <br />and future demand for capital facilities. With this in mind, a consistent approach to <br />developing population estimates and projections is an important component of the data <br />compilation process. To accurately determine demand for services, as well as to be <br />consistent with Indian River County's Comprehensive ,Plan; not only the resident, or <br />permanent population of the County, but also the seasonal residents and visitors were <br />considered. Seasonal residents include visitors to, otel'and' motel facilities, visitors to RV <br />parks, visitors that stay with relatives and friends; and part-time residents, which are <br />defined as living in Indian River County for ,less,than six montheach year. Therefore, for <br />, <br />purposes of calculating future demand for, capital facilities for each impact fee program <br />area, the weighted average seasonal population wil be used'in all population estimates and <br />` <br />projections. References to population containedjn°'this.-report pertain to. the weighted <br />ti_ <br />average seasonal population, unless otherwise noted: <br />Indian River County provides all of the services areas.,included'in the impact fee program <br />countywide, with the exception`of the follgwing-three program areas: <br />• Law enforcement, which,is:provided in unincorporatedlcounty; <br />• Parks and recreation services, also provided only in unincorporated county; and <br />• Emergency services,which-are`provided countywide with the exception of the Town <br />" of-lndian River Shores ` ` <br />Given the•,differences in services areas, population estimates are provided separately for <br />these three area's. <br />Table A-1 presents the'population trend for Indian River County.
