IX. Public Education Facilities This section discusses the analysis used in the development of the school impact fee . In order to develop the proposed school impact fee schedule by residential unit type , 11 major elements associated with the development of a school impact fee must be addressed . These elements include the following . • Inventory • Population • Level of Service • Cost Component • Credit Component • Net Impact Cost per Student • Existing Deficiencies • Student Generation Rate • Proposed School Impact Fee Schedule • Future Demand Analysis • Estimated Revenues These 11 elements are summarized throughout this section , with the result being the proposed school impact fee schedule . Inventory According to the information provided by the School District, the Indian River County School District operates 18 public education facilities serving pre -kindergarten through the 12th grade . These facilities total more than 2 . 3 million square feet and have a capacity of 17 , 617 student stations . The School District ' s current inventory of school facilities includes both permanent and relocatable student stations, i . e . , student stations housed in portable facilities . New construction of units that are separate from main education facilities , but considered by the School District to be permanent buildings are considered to be permanent facilities . The School District ' s current inventory of school facilities can be found in Appendix D , Table D - 1 . It should be noted that the School District also operates four nontraditional schools , including adult and alternative learning facilities , as well as five administrative and support facilities . To ensure that the impact fee initially reflects only classroom space for grades pre -kindergarten through the senior year of high school , adult and alternative learning facilities and administrative and support facilities are not included in the cost calculations . The cost of adult and alternative learning facilities could be added in subsequent updates of the school impact fee . Therefore , for the purposes of this study , only data pertaining to elementary , middle , and high schools will be included . The locations of the education facilities listed in Table D - 1 are also shown on Map IX - 1 . Tindale -Oliver & Associates , Inc . Indian River County May 2005 IX - 1 Impact Fee Study
