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 new <br />impact fee waiver categories for single family and multifamily 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 be <br />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 and multifamily housing units occupied <br />by households with incomes of less than 80% of AMI; and the County should continue to <br />apply for other funding sources (such as CDBGs) to subsidize impact fees and utility <br />capacity charges. <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ACTION: <br />Board of County Commissioners Approval of the AHAC Recommendation <br />Yes [V] No ❑ <br />42 <br />9 <br />
