Indian River County 1 Impact Fee Update Study <br />Service Area and Population <br />Indian River County provides government services to all residents, workers, and visitors the <br />benefit of government services. As such the service area was determined to be the entire <br />county. <br />To be consistent with the County's Comprehensive Plan, for purposes of this technical <br />analysis, the weighted seasonal population is used in,alI population estimates and <br />projections. As mentioned previously, weighted seasonal; population projections used in <br />the impact fee analysis reflect estimates provided vin: the Indian River County's 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan for seasonal residents. In addition, -,public buildings is one of the <br />program areas where functional population used to capture the presence of all people <br />within the community, whether residents, workers, or visitors, to arrive at a total estimate <br />of effective population need to be served. 'A More detailed explanation of weighted and <br />functional population estimates is provided in Appendix A. <br />Level -of -Service <br />Based on the information= provided by the County, Indian River, County's 2013 achieved <br />level -of -service (LOS) is -2"80 -square feet'of'primary faeilities,per weighted resident. Table <br />IV -2 presents the calculation of,the existing LOS In addition, the adopted LOS standard is <br />1.99 square feet per resident. <br />The -:County's Five=Year, Capital Improvements Program (CIP) includes the addition of <br />approximately 10,000 -°square feet- of public buildings space. With this additional <br />• <br />investment, the LOS is estimated at 2-.78 square feet per resident by 2017. Given that both <br />the current and 2017 estimated LOS are higher than the adopted LOS standard, the impact <br />fee calculations `Were. based on ;the adopted LOS standard, resulting in more conservative <br />impact fee levels. The`,adopted LOS standard is converted to square feet per functional <br />resident, which resulted'iri.2'.10 square feet per resident, as shown in Table IV -2. <br />Tindale -Oliver & Associates, Inc.
