Services provided by County -owned and operated public facilities support the entire <br /> county . Therefore , the proper benefit district for public buildings is countywide . The <br /> countywide functional population estimate is provided in Section II , Table II - 14 . <br /> Level of Service <br /> The current level of service (LOS ) for public buildings is determined by dividing the <br /> square footage of County - owned buildings that provide countywide services by the <br /> countywide 2004 functional population figure based on a 55 -hour week, provided in <br /> Section 11 , Table II - 14 . This information results in a current LOS of 2 . 40 square feet of <br /> public building space per functional resident, as calculated in Table V-4 . In addition , in <br /> terms of the resident (permanent plus seasonal) population, the current LOS is 1 . 99 <br /> building square feet per person . <br /> Table V =4 <br /> Current Level of Service ( 2004 ) <br /> Year 2004 <br /> Functional Building Square Feet IRC Countywide Building Square Feet <br /> Square Feet( l ) Residents(2) per Functional Resident(3) Population(4) per Resident(5) <br /> 275 , 704 114,957 2 .40 138 ,393 1 .99 <br /> ( 1 ) Source : Table V= 1 <br /> (2 ) Source : Section II , Table II- 14 <br /> (3 ) Total square footage (Item 1 ) divided by the countywide 2004 I1 -hour functional population <br /> ( Item 2 ) . <br /> (4) Source : Chapter II , Table II - 1 <br /> ( 5 ) Total square footage (Item 1 ) divided by the countywide 2004 population (Item 4 ) . <br /> The County ' s Comprehensive Plan does not include a LOS standard for public buildings . <br /> Therefore , the existing LOS will be used as the public building LOS standard . For this <br /> LOS to become the standard , the Comprehensive Plan will be amended to include this <br /> standard for public buildings . <br /> Table V - 5 presents a comparison of IRC ' s LOS standard with the LOS standards of other <br /> counties . It is important to note that the LOS figures for other counties reflect building <br /> space owned by the county and not necessarily the total square footage that is required to <br /> serve the residents . In other words , leased space used to house some of the county <br /> departments is not included in the inventory . Further, IRC ' s standard reflects both <br /> permanent and seasonal population . <br /> Tindale -Oliver & Associates , Inc . Indian River County <br /> May 2005 V -6 Impact Fee Study <br />
