Indian River County I 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 residents, or <br /> permanent population of the County, but also the seasonal residents and visitors were <br /> considered. Seasonal residents include visitors to hotel 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 months each year. Therefore, for <br /> purposes of calculating future demand for capital facilities for each impact fee program <br /> area, the weighted average seasonal population will be used in all population estimates and <br /> projections. References to population contained in this report pertain to the weighted <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 following three program areas: <br /> • Law enforcement, which is provided in unincorporated county; <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 Indian River Shores. <br /> Given the differences in services areas, population estimates are provided separately for <br /> these three areas. <br /> Table A-1 presents the population trend for Indian River County. The projections indicate <br /> that the population of Indian River County is estimated to increase by 40 percent between <br /> 2013 and 2040 countywide. <br /> Tindale-Oliver&Associates, Inc.
