Indian River County I Impact Fee Update Study Apportionment of Demand by Residential Unit Type and Size The residential land uses to be used for the impact fee calculations are the following: • Single Family • Multi-Family/Accessory Unit • Mobile Home/RV(tied down) Table A-2 presents the number of residents per housing unit for the residential categories identified above in Indian River County. This analysis includes all housing units, both occupied and vacant. To address fairness and equity issues between land uses and to be consistent with the County's current fee schedules, the single family land use is tiered based on four categories of square footage: less than 1,000 square feet, 1,000 to 1,499 square feet, 1,500 to 2,499 square feet, and 2,500 square feet or greater. To accommodate the tiering of impact fee assessments for the single family residential land use category, an analysis was completed based on housing unit size and persons per housing unit. This analysis utilized national data from the 2011 American Housing Survey (AHS) and date from the 2000 and 2010 U.S. Census Reports to examine this relationship. Because the 2010 Census data do not provide population by land use, a comparison of weighted average population per housing units between the two Census data sets was conducted and the resulting ratio was applied to the residents per housing unit figure for each land use.
