Overall, the county has provided many SHIP impact fee grants/loans to eligible <br />households. Since this program has been successful, the county should keep its SHIP <br />Program impact fee assistance strategy for income qualified households. The County's <br />new impact fee waiver/reduction categories for single family homes of less than 1,500 <br />square foot for income eligible households should also be maintained and evaluated in <br />future years to determine their overall utilization and whether or not adjustments should <br />be made to the eligible categories. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />The county should maintain Housing Element Policy 4.3 and Policy 4.4, regarding <br />financing of impact fees, payment of impact fees, and payment of water and wastewater <br />capacity charges for income eligible households through SHIP funds. The County should <br />also maintain its newly adopted impact fee waiver and reductions under Title X of the <br />Indian River County Code for certain single family housing units occupied by households <br />with incomes of less than 80% of AMI; and the County should continue to apply for other <br />funding sources (such as CDBGs) to subsidize impact fees and utility capacity charges. <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ACTION: <br />Board of County Commissioners Approval of the AHAC Recommendation <br />Yes [4] No ❑ <br />99 <br />
