• <br />• <br />Indian River County 1 Impact Fee Update Study <br />Population <br />All impact fee program areas (except for educational facilities and transportation) require <br />the use of population data in calculating current levels -of -service, performance standards, <br />and future demand for capital facilities. With this in mind, a consistent approach to <br />developing population estimates and projections is an important component of the data <br />compilation process. To accurately determine demand for services, as well as to be <br />consistent with Indian River County's Comprehensive Plan; not only the resident, or <br />permanent population of the County, but also the seasonal residents and visitors were <br />considered. Seasonal residents include visitors to hotel til motel facilities, visitors to RV <br />parks, visitors that stay with relatives and friends and part-time residents, which are <br />defined as living in Indian River County for lessthan six months each year. Therefore, for <br />purposes of calculating future demand for: capital facilities for each impact fee program <br />area, the weighted average seasonal population will be used in all population estimates and <br />projections. References to population contained f in rthisrreport pertain tothe weighted <br />average seasonal population, unless otherwise noted. <br />Indian River County provides all of the services areas included i n, the impact fee program <br />countywide, with the�exeeption of the following‘three programra eas: <br />• Law enforcement, which-:isprovided nA"unincorporated county; <br />• Parks and recreation services, also prov.ided only in unincorporated county; and <br />• <br />Emergency: services",''•:fv <br />of Indian River Shores <br />provided 'countywide with the exception of the Town <br />Given the differences in services areas; population estimates are provided separately for <br />these three areas. <br />Table A-1 presents the population trend for Indian River County.
