Indian River County 1 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.
