Title X shall be known and may be cited as the Indian River County Impact Fee Ordinance. (Ord. No. 2005-015, 5-17-05) Section 1000.02. Authority. (1) The board of county commissioners has the authority to adopt this title pursuant to Article VIII, Florida Constitution, and F.S. chs. 125 and 163. (2) Whenever any provision of this title refers to or cites a section of Chapter 125 or Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, it shall be deemed to refer to those sections, as amended. (Ord. No. 2005-015, 5-17-05) Section 1000.03. Intent and purpose. (1) This title is intended to implement and be consistent with the county comprehensive plan. (2) The purpose of this title is to regulate the use and development of land so as to ensure that new development bears a proportionate share of the cost of the capital expenditures necessary to provide emergency services facilities, correctional facilities, public buildings, law enforcement facil- ities, library facilities, solid waste facilities, park and recreation facilities, public education facili- ties and traffic/transportation facilities in the county. (Ord. No. 2005-015, 5-17-05) Supp. No. 107 4 Section 1000.04. Findings. The board of county commissioners makes the following findings and determinations: (1) The existing emergency services facilities; correctional facilities; public buildings; law enforcement facilities; library facilities; solid waste facilities; park and recreation facilities; public education facilities; and traffic facilities are not sufficient to accom- modate anticipated new development with- out decreasing the existing levels of ser- vice of those facilities. (2) Measurable level of service standards used for impact fee calculation purposes are established in this ordinance for each of the above listed public services. (3) Existing revenue sources are not suffi- cient to fund all capital improvements necessary to accommodate new develop- ment. (4) New development creates an increased need and demand for services and facili- ties and therefore should contribute its fair share of the costs of providing new facilities necessary to accommodate new development. (5) Impact fees provide a reasonable method of ensuring that new development pays its fair share of the capital costs of public services and facilities necessary to accom- modate the new development and new development will derive a substantial ben- efit from facilities funded by impact fees. (6) The revenue received from the impact fees set forth in this chapter shall not be used to correct existing deficiencies. (7) The impact fees set forth in this chapter establish a fair and conservative method of assessing new development its fair share costs for capacity producing capital im- provements. The board approves and ac- cepts the underlying studies as a reason- able basis for the fees. (8) The impact fees set forth in this title will not fully pay for the costs of capital im- provements necessitated by new develop - 1000/1 ATTACHMENT 8 18
