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