Indian River County I Impact Fee Update Study <br /> Student Generation Rate <br /> The number of students living in a household typically varies depending on the type of <br /> residential housing. Therefore, school impact fees are typically assessed based on the <br /> specific student generation rates for different types of residential land uses. <br /> Indian River County's current school impact fee developed the student generation rates <br /> using Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) and Census 2000 data. This impact fee study <br /> employs a new methodology using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to develop the <br /> student generation rate for Indian River County. Specifically, GIS was used to link student <br /> addresses to parcels in the Indian River County Property Appraiser's database in order to <br /> generate the number of students per unit by school type and land use based on the latest <br /> tax roll. <br /> Indian River County School District and Indian River County worked together to provide a <br /> geocoded student addresses. This file was then linked to the addresses of students who <br /> attend those schools listed in Appendix G, Table G-1. Results of this analysis are provided in <br /> Table X-9. <br /> Table X-9 <br /> Student Generation Rates <br /> Total <br /> Residential Land Use Housing Numberof Students <br /> units(l) Students(2) per Unit(3) <br /> Traditional Schools <br /> Single Family 51,423 12,979 0.252 <br /> Multi-Family 17,277 1,712 0.099 <br /> Mobile Home 4,836 733 0.152 <br /> Total/Weighted Average 1 73,5361 15,4241 0.210 <br /> (1) Source: Indian River County Property Appraiser for single family/multi- <br /> family homes and the American Census Survey,2012 Estimates,for <br /> mobile homes <br /> (2) Source: Indian River County School District and Indian River County <br /> (3) Number of students(Item 2)divided by the number of units(Item 1)for <br /> each residential land use type. <br /> As presented, student generation rates are calculated at 0.252 students per home for single <br /> family homes, 0.099 students for multi-family units, and 0.152 students for mobile homes, <br /> for a weighted average of 0.210 students per home. <br /> Tindale-Oliver&Associates, Inc.
