Indian River County I Impact Fee Update Study <br /> Service Area and Population <br /> IRC provides parks and recreation facilities and services in the unincorporated areas of the <br /> county. The municipalities provide these facilities and services within their respective <br /> jurisdictions. As a result, the parks and recreation impact fee analysis will consider only <br /> unincorporated county area population and parks and recreational facilities located within <br /> the unincorporated county area. Appendix A, Table A-1, provides the estimated <br /> unincorporated area population for 2013 and the projected unincorporated area population <br /> through 2040. Parks impact fees are charged only to residential land uses. As such, the <br /> weighted seasonal population per housing unit is used to measure demand from each <br /> residential land use, which is presented in Appendix A,Table A-3. <br /> Level-of-Service <br /> The current LOS for all county-owned and maintained neighborhood, community and <br /> regional parks in unincorporated county is 5.59 acres per 1,000 residents. Table VIII-2 <br /> presents the calculation of the current LOS for each park type included in the inventory, as <br /> well as Indian River County's adopted LOS standard of 6.61 acres per 1,000 residents. <br /> The impact fee cannot charge new growth at a rate to correct existing deficiencies. In <br /> addition, there needs to be a commitment to continue providing the LOS used in the impact <br /> fee calculation, which is typically achieved through the adopted LOS standard. For impact <br /> fee calculation purposes, this study used the lower of the two figures to provide a <br /> conservative approach. With this approach, the current achieved LOS is used in the <br /> calculation of the parks and recreation impact fee. <br /> Tindale-Oliver&Associates, Inc.
