Indian River County I Impact Fee Update Study <br /> Functional Residents by Specific Land Use Category <br /> When a wide range of land uses impact services, an estimate of that impact is needed for <br /> each land use. This section presents functional population estimates by residential and <br /> non-residential land uses. <br /> Residential and Transient Land Uses <br /> As previously mentioned, the average number of persons per housing unit in Indian River <br /> County was calculated for the single family, multi-family, and mobile home/RV land uses, <br /> based on information obtained from the 2000 and 2010 U.S. Census. Besides the residential <br /> land uses,the table also includes transient land uses, such as hotels, motels, nursing homes, <br /> and assisted care living facilities (ACLF). Secondary sources, such as the IRC Chamber of <br /> Commerce and the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs, are used to determine the <br /> occupancy rate for hotels, motels, and nursing homes/ACLF land uses. As mentioned <br /> before, different functional population coefficients must be developed for each of the <br /> impact fee service areas to be analyzed. For residential and transient land uses, these <br /> coefficients are displayed in Tables A-12 through A-14. <br /> Non-Residential Land Uses <br /> A similar approach is used to estimate functional residents for non-residential land uses. <br /> Table A-15 reports basic assumptions and calculations, such as trips per unit, trips per <br /> employee, employees per impact unit, one-way trips per impact unit, worker hours, <br /> occupants per vehicle trip, visitors (patrons, etc.) per impact unit, visitor hours per trip, and <br /> days per week for non-residential land uses. The final column in the tables shows the <br /> estimated functional resident coefficients by land use. These coefficients by land use create <br /> the demand component for the certain impact fee programs and will be used in the <br /> calculation of the cost per unit for each land use category in the select impact fee <br /> schedules. <br /> Tindale-Oliver&Associates, Inc.
