Level -of -service standards indicate the capacity per unit of demand of each public facility. Level -of -service standards can affect the timing and location of development by guiding development to areas where facilities may have excess capacity. Indian River County has level -of -service standards for capital facilities as follows: ➢ Correctional Facilities (Countywide) • 4.5 beds per 1,000 permanent plus weighted peak seasonal population ➢ Fire/EMS (Countywide, excluding Indian River Shores) • .089 Stations per 1,000 permanent plus weighted peak seasonal population ➢ Law Enforcement (Unincorporated County) • 2.09 officers per 1,000 permanent plus weighted peak seasonal population ➢ Libraries (Countywide) • 580 building square feet per 1,000 permanent plus weighted peak seasonal population • 3,200 library material items per 1,000 permanent plus weighted peak seasonal population • 0.7 computers per 1,000 permanent plus weighted peak seasonal population • 0.2 other library equipment items per 1,000 permanent plus weighted peak seasonal population ➢ Potable Water (County Service Area) • 250 gallons per day per equivalent residential unit ➢ Public Buildings (Countywide) • 1.99 building square feet per capita for permanent plus weighted peak seasonal population ➢ Parks/Recreation (Unincorporated County) • 6.61 acres per 1,000 permanent plus weighted peak seasonal population ➢ Sanitary Sewer (County Service Area) • 250 gallons per day per equivalent residential unit ➢ Schools (Countywide) • 139.07 building square foot per student station (Weighted Average) • 144.71 building square foot per student station (Elementary School) • 117.26 building square foot per student station (Middle School) • 147.57 building square foot per student station (High School) Community Development Department Indian River County 24 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element ➢ School Concurrency (School.

Capital Improvements Program A capital improvements program (CIP) is a program for capital expenditures to be incurred each year over a fixed period of years to meet anticipated capital needs. This program identifies projects that Community Development Department Indian River County 25 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element As part of this analysis, revenue and expenditure projections are identified and analyzed, and a fiscal assessment of needs (costs) versus projected available revenue is included. Analysis of the Timing and Location of Capital Improvements Objectives and polices from the Future Land Use Element, Potable Water Sub -Element, Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element, Recreation and Open Space Element, Public School Facilities Element. and the Transportation Element, as well as policies followed by the Sheriff's office and County departments such as Emergency Management, Corrections, Libraries, and Solid Waste, have the most direct effect on the timing and location of capital improvements. Through planning for future improvements to the transportation system, the Transportation Element directly affects the development potential of property. Also affecting the development potential of property are the water and sewer connection requirements and the availability of public school capacity. Within the Future Land Use Element (FLUE), the assignment of land use density and intensity, as well as the urban service area regulations, affect the timing and location of capital improvements. Using the FLUE and urban service area requirements in the county's comprehensive plan to plan for the provision of public facilities and services promotes compact development by emphasizing infill development in urban areas and maximizes the efficiency of existing facilities and services in under utilized areas. The FLUE also controls urban sprawl and ensures that adequate facilities will be present consistent with future growth. Maximizing the use of existing facilities and controlling urban sprawl will contribute to a cost-effective and efficient service delivery system. Using the county's official Future Land Use Map and Future Thoroughfare Plan Map, as well as the county's water and wastewater connection matrix, in planning for future locations of facilities will provide for efficient and orderly expansion of public facilities, provide for efficient growth in desired areas, discourage growth in undesirable areas, and protect environmentally sensitive lands. Development orders will be based upon the availability of adequate public facilities and services, which will provide additional support for the comprehensive plan. The objectives of the FLUE, Transportation Element, Parks and Recreation Element, Potable Water Sub -Element, and -Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element, and the Public School Facilities Element will be furthered by the extension of facilities and services in a logical and efficient manner. This will be accomplished by implementing and enforcing the adopted Capital Improvements Element and its corresponding Schedule of Capital Improvements. Successful and efficient implementation of those items will ensure that facilities and services will be in place concurrent with future development. If a capital improvement project is not included in the adopted Schedule of Capital Improvements Plan and the improvement is required to maintain adopted level -of -service standards, future development will be prohibited until the necessary facilities are in place. This, in effect, indirectly controls the timing and location of future development and, in turn, furthers the implementation of the Future Land Use and Transportation Elements' objectives. Community Development Department Indian River County 27 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Directly affecting the timing and location of future development is the county's official Future Land Use Map, which graphically portrays the maximum land use densities/intensities for the county by the year 2020. As shown on the Future Land Use Map, allowable residential land use densities in some areas are as high as ten units to the acre in the urban service area and as low as one unit per twenty acres outside the urban service area. Commercial/industrial land use areas are depicted on the Future Land Use Map along the US #1 Corridor and in nodal areas located along major transportation routes and intersections. A schedule of capital improvements (Appendix A thru D) is important to ensure that improvements to existing facilities and construction of new facilities are completed as needed. By establishing specific criteria for prioritizing projects and by scheduling projects based on projected need and available revenue, the schedule of capital improvements will ensure existing resources are properly allocated. This scheduling effort will also ensure that appropriate areas will be served by needed facilities, thus maintaining adopted levels of service. In addition to the components of this element, the county coordinates with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and the various state agencies, such as the Florida Department of Transportation, when these agencies program facility or service improvements within Indian River County. The continuation of this coordination will ensure that the plans of state agencies and the SJRWMD will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the timing and location of capital improvements as identified in the CIE. Needs Assessment Based on public facility requirements identified in the other comprehensive plan elements, this needs assessment identifies the capital improvements required to provide sufficient infrastructure to meet proposed levels of service for existing and new development. For purposes of the CIE, a capital improvement is a substantial facility (land, building or major equipment) that costs at least $25,000 and may be paid for in phases. Table 6.7 identifies capital improvement needs through fiscal year 2010/11 for conservation & aquifer recharge, emergency services, general services, law enforcement & corrections, recreation and open space, stormwater management, sanitary sewer and potable water, solid waste, and -transportation, and public schools. Appendix A provides a detailed list of projects and estimated costs for each of the comprehensive plan elements as well as adopted capital improvements of County departments, with the exception of the Public School Facilities Element, which is found in Appendix D. Detailed capital improvement schedules, which list each improvement project, are provided in each applicable Comprehensive Plan Element or within individual master plans for the respective governmental service.

Figure 6.18 graphically displays the projected capital improvements expenditures for the county during the next five fiscal years. As indicated, the sum of the total projected costs for each of the elements, for the five year period is $685,278,128. Some public facilities, such as public education and health systems, are provided countywide and the county itself does not have fiscal responsibility for these systems. The County, however, is required by State Statutes to provide some funds to the Indian River County Health Department (IRCHD). The Florida Department of Children and Family Services appoints the management of the IRCHD, maintains the financial records, and prepares its own financial report separate from the county. In the Future Land Use and Introductory Elements of the county's comprehensive plan, there is an analysis and description of public schools and health centers. Based on general locational criteria for Community Development Department Indian River County 29 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element public schools and health centers, it is assumed that any new facilities which may be constructed in the county by 2010/11 will be located within existing infrastructure service areas or designated expansion areas. Therefore, these systems may be considered to be adequately served by appropriate infrastructure. $90,000,000 $80,000,000 $70,000,000 $60,000,000 $50,000,000 $40,000,000 $30,000,000 - $20,000,000 - $10,000,000 - $0 - Figure 6.18: Future Capital Improvement Expenditures FY 2006/07 FY 2007/08 Conservation & Aquifer Recharge ❑ General Services o Libraries Sanitary Sew er & Potable Water p Storrnw ater Management FY 2008/09 FY 2009/10 ® Emergency Services ® Law Enforcement & Corrections p Recreation & Open Space ® Solid Waste ['Transportation FY 2010/11 Fiscal Assessment This section examines the county's ability to fund the capital improvements listed in table 6.7, with the exception of public school facilities and assesses whether sufficient revenue will be available within the existing budgeting framework utilized by the county to fund the needed improvements at the time that those improvements will be required. The School District of Indian River County is responsible for funding the capital improvements for public school facilities listed in table 6.7. The School District's adopted "Summary of Capital .Improvement Program" (Appendix D) and "Summary of Estimated Revenue" (Appendix E) provides a detailed review of the financial feasibility of the School District's Five Year Capital Plan. The assessment process consists of estimating future receipts of revenues and comparing these receipts against anticipated expenditures. Using this process, it is possible to quantify annual revenue surpluses and shortfalls, providing a basis for examining opportunities for financing the needed Community Development Department Indian River County 30 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Project Applicability All development orders issued by the county must comply with the concurrency management plan and meet level -of -service standards. Development orders are county approvals for construction and/or land development activity. Specifically, development orders consist of the following: comprehensive plan amendments, rezonings, site plan approvals, preliminary plat approvals, development of regional impact (DRI) approvals, planned development preliminary approvals, and building permit approvals for single-family homes located in subdivisions which were approved after February 13, 1990, the original adoption date of the county's comprehensive plan. According to Section 163.3180(6), F.S., the impact from the construction of a single family home on an existing lot may constitute a de minimus impact on public facilities. State law allows such de minimus projects to be exempt from the concurrency requirement. Prior to 2005, however, Indian River County allowed single-family subdivision projects to postpone final concurrency determinations until building permit applications for individual lots. For that reason, the County could not use the de minimus allowance in the past. With the County now requiring final concurrency at the project approval phase, Indian River County shall apply the single family de minimus allowance to single family building permits in subdivisions platted before February 13, 1990. Service Standards Level -of -service standards for concurrency related facilities are established in this plan for the following facilities: sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste, stormwater management, recreation, public schools, and transportation. These are explained in detail in the applicable comprehensive plan elements. For each facility, level -of -service is a measure of the relationship between demand for the service and the capacity of the facility. Capacity, however, is measured differently for each type of facility. Table 6.17 identifies both the capacity and demand measures for each public facility. These measures are addressed in detail, and existing capacities are identified in the applicable Comprehensive Plan Elements. Community Development Department Indian River County 42 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Table 6.16: Service Level Measures for Concurrency Related Facilities Public Facility Category Specific Facility Capacity Measure Demand Measure Geographic Scope Trans ortation p RoadwayVolume of cars accommodated over time Peak Season/Peak Direction/Peak Hour Trips Affected Roadways Sanitary Sewer Treatment Plant (GPD) Treatment design Capacity Generation Rate (GPD) Service Area Potable Water Treatment Plant (GPD) Treatment Design Capacity Generation Rate (GPD) Service Area Solid Waste Landfill Volume in active cell (cubic yards) Generation Rate (tons per capita per year) Entire County Recreation Parks Acres of park land Acres of parks per thousand population Entire County Stormwater Management Drainage conveyances Volume of water Volume of stormwater outfalling for design storm Basin Education* Public Schools (K- Number of Children Enrolled Students! Future •Service Area 12) acc.ommod...ated over time Student Generation *Limited to participating Schools owned and operated by the Indian River CountySchool District Concurrency requires that each facility within the geographic scope of a proposed project's impact area have sufficient capacity to accommodate the project's demand. If that capacity is not available, the project cannot be approved. The principal function of the concurrency management system then is to provide a mechanism whereby demand and capacity measures can be compared on a project by project basis. Table 6.16 provides the criteria for establishing a demand to capacity comparison for a proposed project. While most of the characteristics are self-explanatory, one needs clarification; this is the geographic scope for the traffic public facility category. For concurrency purposes, affected roadways will be those roadways impacted by a project's traffic. All projects, regardless of size, impact the roadway on which the project fronts. In addition, other roadways further removed from the project are impacted. For concurrency purposes, roadways that gain 5% or more of the project's traffic or 50 or more of the project's generated trips, whichever is less are included. Level -of -service standards for concurrency related facilities are to apply to all requests for development orders and permits. Level - of -service standards are measurements based on peak -hour trips and based on volume ranges or average travel speed for the peak hour. Demand Demand is an important component of the concurrency management system. Essentially, demand is a measure of facility use. When compared to facility capacity, demand can indicate the level -of -service for the facility. Community Development Department Indian River County 43 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element As depicted in Table 6.16, demand can be measured quantitatively for each public facility category. While the demand function for each facility consists of applying a rate to the number of facility users, estimation of total demand is more complex. For concurrency management purposes, demand can be divided into three types: existing, committed, and projected. Each must be considered separately for purposes of concurrency management. Existing Demand Existing demand is simply the current level of use for a facility. For a roadway, it is the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips; for a school, it is the number of full-time enrolled students; for water and wastewater treatment plants, it is the existing flow volume measured in gallons per day. These figures are included within applicable plan elements. Existing demand then reflects the use of a facility by the current population. When compared to capacity, existing demand can show if the facility has unused capacity or if it is functioning over capacity. Existing demand, however, is not static. As population increases and dwelling units come on-line, existing demand increases. These increases in existing demand can be identified through facility use measurements. For example, regular traffic counts done on roads or treatment plant flow records are examples of facility use measurements indicating existing demand levels. As existing demand levels for facilities are updated, committed demand levels must be reduced if projects representing committed demand have come on-line. Committed Demand Committed demand is a measure of the impact that approved development projects with reserved capacity will have on facilities. When added to existing demand for a facility, the committed demand for that facility will produce a more accurate estimate of unused capacity. This estimate of unused capacity represents the amount of capacity that can realistically be allocated to new projects. Committed demand must be determined by identifying all projects for which capacity has been reserved through issuance of initial concurrency certificates which are still valid. Then the specific facilities that will be impacted by these projects with reserved capacities must be determined; these facilities will be roadways and the landfill, and they may be treatment plants, drainage conveyances, and recreation facilities. Finally, the total demand on each facility attributable to committed demand will be determined. Applicable elements of the plan identify the rates to be applied to each project to determine facility demand. Traffic volumes, for example, can be derived by applying a trip rate to the size of the project. Sanitary sewer and potable water both have rates of 250 gallons per day per equivalent Community Development Department Indian River County 44 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element residential unit. Other public facility rates are discussed fully in their applicable Comprehensive Plan Element. Like existing demand, committed demand must be determined on a facility by facility basis. For example, both existing demand and committed demand must be determined for each maj or roadway, each school, each treatment plant, each major drainage conveyance, and the active cell in the landfill. Also, like existing demand, committed demand estimates must be modified as projects are completed; committed demand estimates must also be modified as new development orders are approved and old development orders are terminated. Projected Demand The third type of demand is projected demand. This consists of two types. One is non- committed/non-reserved, single-family lot demand for all subdivisions platted after February 13, 1990, while the other is new project demand. Non-committed/non-reserved single-family lot projected demand relates to the facility impacts associated with construction on single-family lots in subdivisions platted after February 13, 1990 and construction on single-family unplatted lots and acreage. Since this type of construction will impact facilities, the demand anticipated from this type of activity must be considered in facility expansion plans. For this reason, it is necessary to maintain an accurate inventory of unbuilt, platted lots and consider the impacts of construction on these lots. The second type of projected demand is new project demand. For each new project, demand estimates must be made on a facility by facility basis. Only if sufficient available capacity exists for each facility to be impacted can the project be approved and a development order issued. Upon issuance of a development order, the estimated impacts on each facility would be .considered as committed demand. Availability of Capacity Facility capacity can be assessed two different ways. First, facility capacity can be determined by facilities that are existing and available; examples would be existing treatment plants and existing roadways with a set number of lanes. The second manner for assessing facility capacity is to consider both existing, in -the -ground facilities as well as facility expansions or new facilities which are programmed but not yet existing. According to Chapter 9J-5.0055(3), Minimum Requirements For Concurrency, Florida Administrative Code, the capacity of existing, in -the -ground facilities will be considered in all cases. Programmed facilities will be considered in assessing capacity for each public facility category when the following conditions are met: Community Development Department Indian River County 45 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element ➢ Transportation supply (capacity). Transportation supply shall be determined on a segment by segment basis. For concurrency purposes, all segments on the county's thoroughfare plan shall be considered. Capacity for segments will be based either on FDOT's generalized capacity tables or individual segment capacity studies approved by the public works director pursuant to the criteria specified in Chapter 952, Traffic. Transportation supply for each segment is: 1. The segment's existing peak hour, peak season, peak direction capacity; or 2. The segment's new roadway capacity if facility expansion for the segment is proposed and if: a. At the time a development order or permit is issued, the necessary facilities and services are in place or under construction; or b. A development order or permit is issued subject to a condition that the facility expansion needed to serve the new development is included in the county's adopted five-year schedule of capital improvements and is scheduled to be in place or under actual construction not more than three years after issuance of the project's first building permit or its functional equivalent. The schedule of capital improvements may recognize and include transportation projects included in the first three years of the adopted Florida Department of Transportation five year work program. In order to apply this provision to a facility expansion project, the Capital Improvements Element must include the following policies: i. The estimated date of commencement of actual construction and the estimated date of project completion (for Indian River County, this is included in policy 5.11 of this element and within Appendix B of this element). ii. A provision that a plan amendment is required to eliminate, defer, or delay construction of any road or mass transit facility or service which is needed to maintain the adopted level of service standard and which is listed in the five-year schedule of capital improvements (for Indian River County, this is included in Policy 1.2 of this Element); or 3. At the time a development order or permit is issued, the facility is the subject of a binding executed agreement which requires the facility to be in place or under actual construction no more than three years after the issuance of the project's first building permit or its functional equivalent; or Community Development Department Indian River County 47 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element 4. At the time a development order or permit is issued, the facility is guaranteed in an enforceable development agreement, pursuant to Section 163.3220, F.S., or an agreement or development order issued pursuant to Chapter 380, F.S., to be in place or under actual construction not more than three years after issuance of a building permit or its functional equivalent. [Section 163.3180(2)(c), F.S.] 5. The segment's new roadway capacity if facility expansion for the segment is the subject of a proportionate fair -share agreement. In such case, the segment capacity increase reflected in the proportionate fair share agreement shall be available only to the party or parties to the proportionate fair share agreement. For school facilities: A residential development order or permit shall be issued only if the needed capacity for the particular service area is available in one or more contiguous service areas as defined in Section 163.3180(13)(c), F.S. Regulation No development order shall be issued for any project where the project's demand in conjunction with existing demand and committed demand will exceed the capacity of a facility at the service level established in this plan. Level -of -service analysis will be undertaken during the review of each project for which development order approval is required. Monitoring System To effectively implement the concurrency requirement, it is necessary to maintain an estimate of available capacity for each public facility subject to level -of -service requirements. By maintaining an accurate and current available capacity estimate for each facility, projected demand from development applications can be compared to the available capacity for the facility to determine if the project can be approved. The purpose of the monitoring program is to maintain a current estimate of available capacity for each facility. The monitoring system portion of the concurrency management plan is maintained by the county's planning division. Using a network computer system and data base management software, records were developed and are maintained for each specific facility. Based upon information in the specific comprehensive plan elements, total capacity figures for each applicable facility are maintained in data base files established for each public facility category. Capacity figures are modified as facilities are expanded or as criteria specified in the availability of capacity section are met, thereby allowing a programmed expansion to be considered for capacity Community Development Department Indian River County 48 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element determination purposes. Through contact with other county departments, planning staff are able to modify capacity estimates as soon as facility characteristics are changed. Table 6.17 depicts the general structure of the monitoring system data base file for each public facility category. This table shows that available capacity for each specific facility is a function of total capacity less existing demand and less committed demand. The demand section of this concurrency management plan identifies the methodology for assessing demand.

It also provides the basis for assessing facility expansion needs and therefore capital improvements programming. By maintaining an accurate and up-to-date estimate of available capacity, the need for facility expansion can be recognized before all capacity is used. By incorporating the monitoring system into the capital improvements programming process, capital budgets can be prepared based on reliable information and valid estimates of need. Community Development Department Indian River County 50 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Goal, Objectives and Policies Goal It is the goal of Indian River County to provide needed capital improvements through the use of sound fiscal decision making. Objectives and Policies Objective 1: Construction of Capital Facilities By 2010, the county will have eliminated existing deficiencies, accommodated desired future growth, and replaced obsolete or worn-out facilities. Policy 1.1: The county shall maintain a five-year capital improvement program and pursuant to Section 163.3177(3)(b) F.S. evaluate and update that program every year to reflect existing and future public facility needs of the county. This capital improvement program will ensure that the plan is financially feasible and that the adopted level -of -service standards are achieved and maintained. Policy 1.2: The county and the School District shall undertake only those capital improvements included within this element's adopted capital improvements program. Pursuant to Section 163.3177(3)(b) F.S., the Capital Improvements Element will be reviewed every year. Consistent with Section 9J-5 of the Florida Administrative Code, if any facility identified in the Schedule of Capital Improvements is delayed or deferred in construction, or is eliminated from the capital improvements program, and this delay, defer, or elimination will cause the level -of -service to deteriorate below the adopted minimum level of service standard for the facility, a comprehensive plan amendment will be required to adjust the Schedule of Capital Improvements. The annual update of the capital improvement element shall be done with a single public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners and a copy of the ordinance amending the Capital Improvements Element shall be transmitted to DCA. Policy 1.3: The county shall evaluate and prioritize its capital improvement projects based on following criteria. These criteria are ranked in order of importance. ➢ Preservation of the health and safety of the public by eliminating public hazards; ➢ Compliance with all mandates and prior commitments; ➢ Elimination of existing deficiencies; ➢ Maintenance of adopted level -of -service standards; ➢ Provision of infrastructure concurrent with the impact of new development; ➢ Protection of prior infrastructure investments; ➢ Consistency with the county plan and plans of other agencies; ➢ Accommodation of new development and redevelopment facility demands; ➢ Consistency with plans of state agencies and water management districts that provide public facilities within the local government's jurisdiction; Community Development Department Indian River County 51 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element ➢ Promotion of compact development by discouraging growth outside of urban service areas; ➢ Demonstration of linkages between projected growth and facility location; ➢ Utilization of the economies of scale and timing of other improvements; ➢ Reduction of operating costs; ➢ Adjustment for unseen opportunities, situations, and disasters. Policy 1.4: The county shall implement the policies of the Potable Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Solid Waste sub -elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Since these are enterprise account funded elements, capital expenditures identified in these elements shall be funded principally from revenues derived from the applicable systems. Policy 1.5: The county shall prioritize and implement the programs identified in the Transportation, Recreation and Open Space, Stormwater Management, Conservation, and Future Land Use Elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Policy 1.6: The county shall not eliminate or reallocate budgeted appropriations for road improvement projects required to meet the adopted level -of -service standards unless the applicable projects will be constructed by other means and remain concurrent with the county's Schedule of Capital Improvements. Policy 1.7: The county shall continue to allocate funds for the replacement and the renewal of infrastructure in an amount which will minimize the operating costs of the infrastructure and maximize the life of the infrastructure. Policy 1.8: The county shall manage its long-term general obligation debt in such a manner that the ratio of the debt service millage to the countywide operating millage does not exceed 20%. Policy 1.9: The county hereby defines a capital improvement as an improvement with a cost that exceeds $25,000. Policy 1.10: The Schedule of Capital Improvements shall contain a mix of capital expenditures, including projects to eliminate existing deficiencies, to upgrade and replace existing facilities, and to construct new facilities. Policy 1.11: The county shall maintain a procedure in its annual budget review requiring each county department to include in its annual budget request applicable expenditures as identified in the capital improvements program of the appropriate Comprehensive Plan Element as well as department's capital improvements. Policy 1.12: The county shall adopt "School. District of Indian River County Five -Year Capital Improvement Schedule" from the School District's adopted Five Year Capital Plan pursuant to Community Development Department Indian River County 52 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Section 1.63.3177(3)(a)(5) F.S. The Capital Improvement Schedule with be evaluated and updated annually to reflect existing and future public school facility needs of the county. This will ensure that the School District's Five -Year Capital. Plan is financially feasible and that the adopted level -of. - service standard for public schools is achieved and maintained. Objective 2: Development in Coastal High Hazard Areas Through 2020, development in coastal high hazard areas will not increase beyond the density or intensity levels indicated on the current Future Land Use Map. Policy 2.1: The coastal high hazard area is defined as the area of the county designated as evacuation zones for a category one hurricane. Policy 2.2: The county shall not increase land use density and intensity, in the coastal high hazard area, beyond that reflected in the county's current Future Land Use Map. Policy 2.3: The county shall make appropriations for infrastructure in coastal high hazard areas only to maintain the adopted level -of -service standards. Policy 2.4: The county shall ensure that the replacement of infrastructure in the coastal high hazard area will be limited to maintaining the adopted level -of -service standards. Policy 2.5: The county shall require that all developments and all single-family units in coastal high hazard areas fully pay the cost for required infrastructure improvements through impact fees, capacity charges, developer dedications, assessments, and contributions. Policy 2.6: The county shall not use public funds to subsidize increased density or intensity of urban development in coastal high hazard areas; however, public beach, shoreline access, resource restoration, or similar projects may be constructed. Objective 3: Maintenance of Established Level -of -Service Standards Through 2020, adopted levels -of -service will be maintained for all concurrency facilities. Policy 3.1: The county hereby adopts the concurrency management system as described within this element. The county shall maintain Land Development Regulation (LDR) Chapter 910, Concurrency Management System, which implements the plan's concurrency management system. In accordance with the concurrency management system of this plan and LDR Ch. 910, the county will not approve any development project where the impacts of such a project would lower the existing level -of -service on any facility below that facility's adopted minimum level -of -service standard. Community Development Department Indian River County 53 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element ➢ Public Buildings The county adopts the following Public Buildings level -of -service standard: ➢ County wide level -of -service standard of 1.99 building square feet per capita for permanent plus weighted peak seasonal population. ➢ Schools The county adopts the following Schools level -of -service standards: School Impact Fees (Countywide): ➢ County wide level -of -service standard for Elementary Schools of 144.71 building square foot per student station ➢ County wide level -of -service standard for Middle Schools of 117.26 building square foot per student station ➢ County wide level -of -service standard for High Schools of 147.57 building square foot per student station ➢ County wide weighted average level -of -service standard for all schools of 139.07 building square foot per student station School Concurrency (School Service Areas): • 100 percent of Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) capacity for each public school type (elementary, middle, and high). ➢ Transit The County adopts the following transit level -of -service standard: ➢ One-hour headways shall be maintained on all fixed transit routes. Objective 4: Future Development's Share of Capital Costs Through 2020, new developments will bear a proportionate share of the cost required to maintain adopted level -of -service standards. Policy 4.1: The county shall use impact fees, capacity charges, assessments, developer dedications and contributions, to pay for infrastructure improvements and services needed to satisfy future needs while maintaining adopted level -of -service standards. Community Development Department Indian River County 57 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Implementation, Evaluation, and Monitoring Implementation An important part of any plan is its implementation. Implementation involves execution of the plan's policies. It involves taking actions and achieving results. For the Capital Improvements Element, implementation involves various activities. While some of these actions will be ongoing, others are activities that will be taken by certain points in time. For each policy in this element, table 6.19 identifies the type of action required, the responsible entity for taking the action, the timing, and whether or not the policy necessitates a capital expenditure. To implement the Capital Improvements Element, several different types of actions must be taken. These include: development of mechanisms for funding new facilities, adoption of land development regulations and ordinances, execution of interlocal agreements, coordination, and preparation of studies and evaluation and monitoring reports. Overall, the Capital Improvements Element implementation responsibility will rest with the Office of Management and Budget. Besides its responsibilities as identified in table 6.19, the planning department has the additional responsibility of ensuring that other entities discharge their responsibilities. This will entail notifying other applicable departments of capital expenditures to be included in their budgets, notifying other departments and groups of actions that must be taken, and assisting other departments and agencies in their plan implementation responsibilities. As part of the Capital Improvements Element, the county has developed a Concurrency Management Plan, which ensures the maintenance of the adopted level -of -service standards. Through the Concurrency Management Plan, the county will measure facility capacity, assess development demand, and maintain a Capital Improvements Program which ensures that the level -of -service standards are maintained.

Generally, a plan's effectiveness can be judged by the degree to which the plan's objectives have been met. Since objectives are structured, as much as possible, to be measurable and to have specific timeframes, the plan's objectives are the benchmarks used as a basis to evaluate the plan. Table 6.20 identifies each of the objectives of the Capital Improvements Element. It also identifies the measures to be used to evaluate progress in achieving these objectives. Most of these measures are quantitative, such as adopting land development requirements, which ensure the maintenance of the level -of -service standards, adopting a capacity monitoring system and others. Besides the measures, table 6.20 also identifies timeframes associated with meeting the objectives. The Planning Department staff will be responsible for monitoring and evaluating the Capital Improvement Element. This will involve collection of data and compilation of information regarding facility capacity, expansion, and new development permitted. This will be done on a regular basis. As part of the county's Concurrency Management System, the Planning Department will continually monitor the facility capacity to ensure that level -of -service standards will be maintained.

They have power to collect taxes for the operation and maintenance of drainage facilities. The boundaries of these drainage districts are identified in Figure 11.1. The Drainage Sub -Element discusses the detailed function of each of these drainage districts. Indian River County Fire Districts These two districts are responsible for the emergency responses to their respective districts as mapped on Figure 11.2. The service areas for the individual fire/rescue stations and their future locations are discussed in the Future Land Use Element. School District of IRC The School DistrictBoard of Indian River County is responsible for public education in the entire county. To fulfill that responsibility, the School. District must occasionally site and construct new schools throughout the County. In so doing, the School District must comply with local comprehensive plans. Because school siting affects :: - - • :: D . - : land. use planning in the County, the The school. location criteria of schools and future expansion arei-s discussed in the Future Land Use Element. Interactions between the county and the school board primarily relate to requirements and in the past have not been subject to all site plan requirements. Regarding land use and density, the county's decisions have a significant effect on the number and location of schools needed. In order for the School Boardschool district to efficiently and realistically plan for future schools, coordination with the county is essential. In the past, coordination with the Scheel-Bearschool district has been with primarily at the staff level where information and data have been were exchanged. A school boardSubsequently, a school district/county committee was also established to review proposed school construction projects. -The school board facilities are exempt from county building code requirements and in the past have not been subject to all site plan requirements. This committee's principal role was to review and approve site plans for new school facilities. Municipalities of Indian River County There are five municipalities in the county. Their locations are shown on Figure 11.3. The county and these municipalities have a good understanding of the need for coordination. Generally, they work effectively and cooperatively together. As shown on attachment 1, there are many agreements between the county and municipalities. A number of these agreements also involve a third party. These agreements cover such issues as water and sewer service, recreation, fire protection, building Community Development Department Indian River County 4 Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element permits, traffic impact fees and others. Due to the number of agreements, only the more important ones affecting land use and the provision of services are identified in attachment 1. The county and the City of Vero Beach are the two entities providing regional sanitary sewer service and potable water service. In cooperation, they provide these services for their jurisdiction, for other jurisdictions as the location demands, and for the rest of the county. For example, the City of Vero Beach provides water and sewer services for the south portion of the barrier island, which is part of the unincorporated county, for the City of Indian River Shores, and for portions of the county on the mainland. The county provides these services to the City of Sebastian, and the Town of Orchid. There are several existing committees within the county which have representatives from the county and the municipalities. These are the Parks and Recreation Committee, the Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Economic Development Council, the Marine Advisory Narrows Watershed Action Committee, the Beach and Shores Restoration Committee, the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, the Land Acquisition Advisory Committee; the School Panning Technical Advisory Committee -and the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board. These committees address issues that are countywide in scope. Generally, these committees are chaired by one of the county commissioners and facilitate intergovernmental coordination at an elected officials level. Whenever needed, staff provides appropriate information to these committees. As needed, the county commission holds joint meetings with the city/town councils to discuss issues and make decisions about issues involving multi jurisdictional matters. At the staff level, there is coordination between county staff and the municipalities' staffs. One informal staff committee is the Comprehensive Plan Technical Advisory Committee, consisting of planning representatives from all municipalities. This committee reviews comprehensive plan elements of each jurisdiction for consistency, shares data and information, makes decisions concerning countywide issues, and takes suggestions to elected officials for final decision and action. St. Johns River Water Management District SJRWMD regulates and permits drainage systems, and issues consumptive use permits for water. The SJRWMD is responsible for the management and storage of surface water and groundwater in Indian River County and all or part of 18 other Florida counties. The boundaries of the SJRWMD are shown in Figure 11.4. Florida Department of Transportation The county's transportation system is coordinated with other agencies in several ways. Countywide transportation planning is coordinated by the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which maintains agreements for transportation planning with FDOT, the county, and all municipalities in the county. As an agency implementing roadway improvements, transit services, and facilities for other transportation modes, Indian River County maintains various Community Development Department Indian River County 5 Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element report must include, but not be limited to, a description of existing public facilities owned or operated by the special district; a description of each public facility the district is building, improving or expanding; a description of each public facility the special district currently proposes to replace; anticipated completion time; anticipated capacity of and demands on each public facility when completed; and other requirements as outlined on Section. 189.415, F.S. Intergovernmental Coordination Agreements These agreements are between Indian River County and several state, local and surrounding county agencies. Many of the agreements are with the City of Vero Beach, the largest municipality in Indian River County. Some of these agreements relate to the provision of water and sewer service, while others include subjects such as the use of utility poles. The county has agreements with the State Department of Transportation for ownership and maintenance of some roads in the county, while agreements with the Division of Library Services provide funding for specific groups of people that utilize the libraries of the county such as the elderly, handicapped or young people. There is a mutual aid agreement with surrounding counties and an agreement with Osceola County for the maintenance of a county road that is inaccessible to county vehicles due to flooding. Another state agency that has an agreement with the county is the Department of Environmental Protection for the study of Spoil Islands in the Indian River Lagoon.

Because of the number of governments and governmental agencies, extensive coordination is required. Despite the effort required, the county has a good working relationship with all local and state entities. As part of its intergovernmental coordination efforts, the county is coordinating with the municipalities within the county on various issues, including provision of services, interjurisdictional development impacts, and notification of affected jurisdictions regarding proposed rezoning and land use amendment actions. For most of those issues, however, there is no formal coordination mechanism, and there is no formal dispute resolution process. Overall, intergovernmental coordination involves several different activities. These are: communication, identification of interjurisdictional impacts, mitigation of impacts, resolution of disputes, cooperative or joint activities, and others. Not all of these activities apply in every intergovernmental relationship. Communication At the local level, communication with municipalities and other local entities is good. Some of this communication occurs through existing county committees which meet on a regular basis, have a set structure, and maintain minutes. Other communication, however, is informal with no set mechanism. Locally, county staff currently notifies appropriate municipal staff whenever a development project is proposed close to a municipal boundary. Municipalities sometimes notify county staff of proposed projects within their jurisdictions which could impact the county. Currently, notification of local governments is not formally required either by the county or adjacent municipalities. If each local government were required to inform adjacent governments of proposed projects, intergovernmental coordination could be enhanced. Communication with some state agencies seems to be an issue. Local government is not always kept apprised of changes in rules and regulations. This sometimes results in lack of a clear understanding of state regulations for both applicants and the county. Some of the issues related to general coordination with state agencies are summarized below: Number of agencies with which the county must coordinate Lack of communication between various offices of the state agency Duplication of efforts In some cases, lack of clear written guidelines In some cases, lack of formal procedures or agreements and lack of clear understanding of all Community Development Department Indian River County 22 Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element responsibilities In some cases, a delay in informing local governments of recent changes in regulations and criteria Interjurisdictional Impacts Although tThe county has many written intergovernmental coordination agreements with municipalities and other entities (see attachment 1)7. Included among those agreements is an Interlocal Agreement (11.,A) for Coordinated School Planning and. School Concurrency and an :impact fee interlocal agreement. With execution of the Interlocal Agreement for Coordinated. Planning and School Concurrency between the County, the School. Board, the City of Fcllsmere, the City of Sebastian. the City of Vero Beach and the Town of Indian River Shores, a process for implementing school concurrency was established. The 11.,A establishes the school concurrency process for coordinated planning of school facilities, outlines the responsibilities of all parties, and provides mechanisms for monitoring and dispute resolution. tihere are no formal agreements with municipalities on planning related issues such as maintaining established non -school level of service standards, addressing extra jurisdictional development impacts, providing up front coordination on land use amendments and rezonings, and establishing a dispute resolution process. Formal intergovernmental coordination agreements could clearly identify issues, responsibilities, and important resources and facilities; define significant extra jurisdictional impacts; establish quantitative, qualitative, and locational criteria to measure significant impacts; develop measures to mitigate impacts; and establish a formal process to resolve disputes if an issue arises. There are advantages and disadvantages to having a formal intergovernmental coordination process. It would be easier and less time consuming if each local government could approve all development projects, rezoning requests, and land use amendments within its jurisdiction without considering extra jurisdictional impacts and without coordination with other jurisdictions. Since actions of one local government often affect other governments, however, it is important for local governments to coordinate with one another to ensure that one jurisdiction does not negatively affect another. Coordination could be done informally on a case by case basis; however, this type of coordination is highly subjective and largely depends on the people doing the coordination. At this time, most staff level coordination efforts are done informally. On the other hand, a formal intergovernmental coordination process which clearly defines what issues should be considered; which resources and facilities must be protected; which jurisdiction has the responsibility to notify others of development projects or land use amendment requests; which jurisdiction has review responsibility; and to what extent the comments must be addressed would be Community Development Department Indian River County 23 Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element more beneficial. It is inherent that this process will add to the time needed to review projects. Therefore, an efficient intergovernmental coordination process must define what is considered to be a significant impact and concentrate coordination efforts on those projects which create significant impacts, not all projects. To complete the process, there is a need for an established way to resolve disputes. This would be a mechanism by which local governments can solve their differences. Due to anticipated future growth within the county, it would seem that issues and problems will become more complicated in nature. Therefore, there is a need for formal intergovernmental coordination agreements and procedures.

Indian River Farms Water Control District (IRFWCD) The county has coordinated with the IRFWCD on several issues, including: Use of county roads within IRFWCD canal rights-of-way Use of IRFWCD canal right-of-way for utilities such as water and sewer lines, communication cables, and others. Permitting associated with development projects • Fellsmere Farms Water Control District (FFWCD) The county has coordinated with the FFWCD on several issues, including use of the water control district's canal/road rights-of-way by adjacent property owners, and maintenance of these rights-of-way. These canal/road rights-of-way provide the only access to properties around the City of Fellsmere. • Charter County Consistent with policy 1.14 of the Intergovernmental Coordination Element, the county assessed the feasibility of becoming a charter county. Based upon that analysis, it was determined that no significant benefits would occur from becoming a charter county. Through the Florida Constitution, non -charter counties have broad powers of self- government. Accordingly, non -charter county governments are allowed to adopt ordinances consistent with general laws and special laws. Charter counties, on the other hand, may not undertake any activity not provided for in their charter. Because of the broad powers given to non -charter counties by the Florida constitution, there are few advantages to be derived from becoming a charter county. Some of the advantages available to charter counties are pre-emption of municipal laws and ordinances, ability to impose certain municipal taxes, opportunity to establish salary levels for elected county officials, ability to establish a citizen initiative process, and power to change the status of constitutional officers. Besides those characteristics, charter counties have few advantages over non -charter counties. Community Development Department Indian River County 46 Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element • Others The county has coordinated with a number of other jurisdictions and agencies on various intergovernmental issues, including: The School District of Indian River County School Board A memorandum of understanding between the county and the school board regarding site selection and site plan reviews for school facilities was executed in December 1986. The Interlocal Azreement for Public School Planning was executed in 2003 between the County, the School Board. the City of Vero Beach, the City of Sebastian and the City of Fellsmere. Consistent with the requirements of Section 163.3177—(6)(a), F.S. requirements, the county and school board coordinate with each other regarding availability of lands proximate to residential developments for current and anticipated school sites. Also, the county and school board have jointly established school siting criteria for schools of different types and sizes. Since schools are permitted in all of the county's residential and commercial land use and zoning districts, there is a substantial amount of land in close proximity to future residential developments which can be used for construction of new schools. The county and school board regularly coordinate regarding development patterns and the selection of school sites. Compatibility of schools with surrounding uses is addressed through a joint county/school board site plan analysis cooperation committee. Indian River County Council on Aging The county has an agreement with the Indian River County Council on Aging, Inc. (Community Transportation Coordinator) for the provision of transportation services to the transportation disadvantaged population. Brevard County The county has an agreement with Brevard County on several issues, including landfill siting. St. Lucie County The county has an agreement with St. Lucie County on several issues, including emergency services, and establishment of the Treasure Coast Jobs and Education Partnership Program. Community Development Department Indian River County 47 Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element Convene an intergovernmental summit, open to the public, with a facilitator • Hold regular meetings between city and county officials • Work for ongoing consensus building • Empower the citizenry through more active public involvement in government • Hold public meetings at more convenient times.

Provide public transportation. • Televise local government meetings • Meet in different locations and areas, such as in local districts • Create a leadership training program, especially for potential facilitators and volunteers • Have one set place in the Press -Journal where the public knows to look for meeting notices. • Establish a "Citizen Services" information and guidance ombudsman regarding access to public services and personnel; provide for mediation of conflicts. • Make local government more user friendly. Train personnel in customer service. Some of these were addressed by the creation of a countywide (not including the Town of Indian River Shores) emergency management services district, computer interface between various county • departments, streamlined permitting process, and televising Board of County Commission meetings live and in the evening. 2005 Growth Management Legislation As part ofth.e Florida Legislature's 2005 growth management law (SB 360), all local governments in the state must adopt school concurrency provisions as part of their comprehensive plans by 2008. To meet the school concurrency requirements, local governments must prepare the following documents: • 1. Interlocal Agreement — Sections 163.31777 and 163.3180(13)(g), F7or:ida Statutes. requires that, prior to establishing a School Concurrency program. the County, Cities and School. Board adopt an Interlocal. Agreement for School Concurrency to satisfy Section 16 3.3180 (12)(g)1. Florida Statutes. 2. Comprehensive Plan Amendments — Indian River County and its municipalities must adopt the following comprehensive plan amendments no later than March 1., 2008.

Because of the importance of the public school system and its impact on the future of Indian River County, coordinated school planning among the County, the School District and the municipalities within the County is critical to ensure that public school capacity needs are met. Residential development is a primary factor associated with the growth of the public school system. Because of the relationship between residential development and the provision of public schools, the Public School Facilities Element (PSFE) focuses on coordinated planning among the School District, County and local governments to accommodate future student growth needs in the public school system. This element establishes public school system concurrency requirements, including a level of service standard for public schools and procedures for establishing a concurrency management system. Within Indian River County, the local governments participating in school concurrency are Indian River County, the City of Vero Beach, the City of Sebastian, the City of Fellsmere, and the Town of Indian River Shores. The fifth municipality in the County, the Town of Orchid, is exempt from school concurrency based on the criteria contained in 163.3177(12)(b), F.S. At the time of its comprehensive plan's evaluation and appraisal report, the Town of Orchid must determine if it continues to meet the criteria as an exempt municipality. Once implemented, school concurrency will ensure that the public school facilities necessary to maintain the adopted level of service for schools are in place before or concurrent with the school impacts of new residential development. Community Development Department Indian River County 1 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element BACKGROUND In 2005, the Florida Legislature amended s.163.3180, F.S., and mandated the implementation of public school concurrency. That legislation requires that each local government adopt a Public School Facilities Element (PSFE) as part of its Comprehensive Plan and amend its Capital Improvement Element and Intergovernmental Coordination Element. The PSFE must address school level of service; school utilization; school proximity and compatibility with residential development; availability of public infrastructure; co -location opportunities; and financial feasibility. As mandated by Rule 9J-5-025 F.A.C., the PSFE must contain the following: • Existing school facility deficiencies and school facilities required to meet future needs; • School level of service standards; • A financially feasible five-year schedule of school -related capital improvements that ensures adequate school capacity is available to maintain the adopted level of service; • Provisions to ensure that school facilities are located consistent with the existing and proposed residential areas they serve; that schools be used as community focal points, and that schools be co -located with other public facilities; • Maps depicting existing school sites, areas of anticipated future school sites, ancillary facilities, and School Service Area Boundaries (SSABs); and • Goals, objectives, and policies for planning and school concurrency. Community Development Department Indian River County 2 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element EXISTING CONDITIONS For school concurrency purposes, existing conditions relate not only to the number and location of public schools, but also to the County's population and overall level of residential development activity. Because the County's land use and demographic characteristics relate to the various components of the public school system, this section identifies past and projected County population figures, recent residential development activity, student enrollment data, and the existing conditions of Indian River County's public school system. County and Municipal Related Data Past and Projected Population The first set of data used to establish the level of growth in Indian River County is the population increase over time. For the time period 1995-2006, demographic data were obtained from the Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR). Table 12.1 details the population estimates for Indian River County and the municipalities during this ten-year period. Table 12.2 shows population growth projections and annual growth rates for the County to the year 2020.

Table 12.3a details building permit activity for the unincorporated county and the City of Vero Beach for the period between 2001 and 2006. Table 12.3b identifies the increase in total residential units from the 2000 Census to 2006.

The data detailed in Table 12.3a indicate a steady increase in the number of single family residential building permits issued in Indian River County between 2001 and 2005, with a decrease occurring in 2006. These new units place additional demands on the school system's capacity because each new housing unit has the potential to generate new students. Table 12.4, however, shows that the number of building permits to be issued annually through the year 2009 is expected to decrease and then increase in 2010 and 2011 Table 12.4: Projected Building Permits for Next 5 Years Source: Indian River County Community Development Department & Fishkind & Associates, Inc. 2006 Community Development Department Indian River County 4 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Projected Annual Population Change 5,623 5,332 5,406 5,619 6,692 Projected Permits 2,878 2,728 2,766 2,875 3,424 Source: Indian River County Community Development Department & Fishkind & Associates, Inc. 2006 Community Development Department Indian River County 4 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element Residential Development Activity While building permit data provide an indication of future growth, development review activity also serves as a growth indicator. Consequently, development review information, including the number of new residential housing units under review by Indian River County and municipal planning departments in Indian River County, was collected. This information can assist the local governments and School District in anticipating the demand for public schools. Figure 12.1 depicts the location and intensity of approved and potential new residential development. This information was obtained from the County and municipalities. For analysis, these data were incorporated into a GIS dataset. In Figure 12.1, new residential development is thematically symbolized by the number of approved housing units. The darker shaded areas identify developments with a higher number of housing units, while the lighter shaded portions indicate developments with a lower number of housing units. According to these data, approximately 26,637 housing units are under construction or in the development review process. Generally, it is expected that those areas with an increase in proposed new residential developments will experience a higher demand for new schools.

Psdr0ary 15.2006 Community Development Department Indian River County 6 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element Student Generation Multiplier A critical component of the school concurrency process is projecting the number of students that will be generated from new residential development. In order to calculate the number of students associated with new residential development, a student generation multiplier was created. Because the number of students living in a housing unit varies depending on the type of residential housing, the student generation rate per residential unit is based on three housing types: single family, multi -family, and mobile home. Two key pieces of data were used to calculate student generation rates. These were the Geographic Information System (GIS) parcel file from the Indian River County Property Appraisers office with associated land use and attribute data (2005), and the GIS Point file based on the October 2005 FTE Survey data provided from the School District (for the school year 2005-2006). A spatial join was applied to these key files resulting in one database with a common location. Once the data were joined, the student GIS Point file was assigned a housing type based on the closest proximity of a residential parcel to the GIS centerline point. As a 100 percent student inventory (not a sample set), the volume of data used (16,857 geo- coded students) was large enough to offset occasional land use assignment errors. The student database was then sorted by grade and housing type. To calculate a student generation rate (multiplier), the total number of students (by school type) was divided by the total number of occupied dwelling units by residential type. Table 12.5a shows the number of students by residential housing type and school type in Indian River County as of the October 2005 student count. The occupied dwelling unit counts are based on an average 90 percent occupancy rate. The occupancy rate was determined by dividing permanent 2005 Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) households by the 2005 Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) housing unit count. The student generation multipliers by residential housing type were derived from the "Indian River County Student Generation Rates by Housing Type" report prepared by Fishkind and Associates, Inc. (May 24, 2006). Consequently, the number of students associated with a development can be calculated by applying the multiplier to the development's proposed number and type of residential housing units. The projected number of students is the product of the development units multiplied by the student generation multiplier for the unit type.

As shown in Table 12.6, the approximately 26,637 new residential units in Indian River County are estimated to yield a total of 8,253 students.

Residential Single Family RMF - Residential Mutli-Family MXD - Mixed Use Development Community Development Department Indian River County 13 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element Public School System As required by the state, the School District must implement a financially feasible Five - Year Capital Facilities Plan that provides for school capacity improvements to accommodate projected student growth. Those improvements which are budgeted and programmed for construction within the first three years of the Plan are considered committed projects for concurrency purposes. Within the current Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan, the capacity providing capital improvements consist of three new elementary schools and minor capacity additions at Sebastian River Middle School and Sebastian River High School. The School District has also identified the need for a future high school in the south county area. As structured, the public school system consists of students, personnel, schools, and administrative facilities. Residential development impacts the students and school facilities because increases in new student enrollment can place demands on school capacity and cause overcrowding of facilities. Therefore, an accurate inventory of both current and projected school capacity and student enrollment is crucial for school planning. Enrollment and Capacity The Indian River County School District provides the public school facilities necessary to educate its students. Recently enacted state -mandated changes, such as early childhood education and smaller teacher/pupil ratios at each school, significantly impact the capacity needs of the School District. Currently, the School District operates 21 public schools, from pre -kindergarten to 12th grade. In school year 2004/05, approximately 64% of the County's school-age children attended public schools operated by the School District. The remaining 36% attended private schools or charter schools, or were no longer attending school. Students no longer attending school are typically associated with drop-out students over the age of 16. The School District operates fourteen elementary schools, three middle schools, two high schools, and two alternative education centers serving more than 16,000 students. Figure 12.2 shows the geographic locations of public schools operated by the School District. In Table 12.7, a breakdown of the enrollment and school capacity for School Year 2006/07 is provided. The figures in Table 12.7 exclude charter schools which are not operated by the School District. School capacity figures are determined by the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) and are based on the Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) capacity analysis. As the basis for determining permanent FISH capacity at individual schools, the School District utilizes FDOE's FISH capacity data and district owned Type 4 portable classrooms.

Current enrollment and school capacity data provide a baseline that can be used to develop a financially feasible level of service standard. According to state law, the School District is required to accurately project future student enrollment and school capacity. To determine future school capacity needs, the School Community Development Department Indian River County 16 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element District calculates both short- and long-term student enrollment projections. Student enrollment projections are based on data obtained from the following: • School District of Indian River County • University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) • Local utilities • U.S. Census Bureau Student projections based on residential growth trends in the County provide a data - driven profile of the short-term and long-term future conditions driving the demand for new public schools. The projected full-time equivalent (FTE) student counts by grade are based on cohort survival history and historic population growth estimates compiled from BEBR. Tables 12.8 — 12.11 summarize the enrollment forecast. Information on existing residential development and residential development anticipated over both the next five years and the long-term planning period was collected from the County and local government planning departments to verify the accuracy of student enrollment proj ections.

Since the 1998/99 school year, five charter schools have been established. These are Sebastian Charter Junior High, North County Charter, St. Peter's Academy, Indian River Academy, and Indian River Charter High School. As a result of the addition of these schools, the FDOE enrollment data for the School District showed an estimated average of 555 fewer students per year. When these students were accounted for in the School District's enrollment projections, the number of students in the appropriate grades and years were adjusted through the use of the enrollment ratios developed for this forecast for public schools. This process specified a regression model for each grade level as follows: Stu(,lentsgradex,yeart = Const. + 161* Studentsgradex—l,yeart 1 +)32* population growth This regression model specifies student population in a given year as a function of unobservable factors (captured by the constant term), cohort survival (the number and percentage of students advancing in grade), and a percentage of population growth. Changes in any of these trends from one year to the next can have a significant impact on the number of students ultimately enrolled. For example, the high school driver's license law change in 1997 resulted in fewer high school dropouts statewide in 1999 and 2000. Similarly, increases in population growth and changing development patterns can result in more students than the cohort survival method may predict. This regression model was refined and adjusted on a grade -by -grade basis to build the student forecast models with the highest degree of predictability. Community Development Department Indian River County 20 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element Indian River County School Utilization The projected student enrollment data were used to determine the need for school facilities in light of the growing demands on public schools because of new residential development. An evaluation of Indian River County's current school enrollment and capacity in conjunction with projected student enrollment provided a determination of surpluses and deficiencies over the long-term planning period. To accommodate the projected future student growth, additional capacity projects were added to the School District's Capital Facilities Plan through school year 2011-12. These additional capacity projects were used to balance future enrollment by redistributing students from their existing schools to their future schools. Tables 12.8 — 12.11 shows the details of this analysis. Long Term Student Enrollment Projections Long term student enrollment projections are provided in Table 12.12 and were prepared to provide insight into potential school needs in the years beyond school year 2013-14. Those projections are based on an assumed annual growth rate beyond the 2013-14 school year of 1.9%. This is a percentage that takes into account fluctuations in the growth rate that the County may experience. The assumed 1.9% long term growth rate for public schools is less than the assumed long term population growth rate used in the County's population projections because not all new residents that move to the County will bring children with them. In addition, the long term projections are generalized and do not take into account unforeseen circumstances. For instance, if a large manufacturing plant re -locates to the County and brings with it 2,000 new jobs, workers may relocate to the County from other areas of the state and country to fill those jobs. Those workers may then have families that they bring with them which would attend public schools. Overall, the long term student enrollment projections show an increase of 3,285 elementary students, 1,711 middle school students, and 1,847 high school students between school years 2015-16 to 2030-31. Community Development Department Indian River County 21 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element School District Capital Funding Sources To address the new construction and renovation needs of the School District's Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan, the School District relies on local and state funding. The primary local funding sources are property taxes, impact fees, and bonds. By Florida statute, school districts may levy up to 2 mills to fund the district capital program. In 2005, Indian River County adopted an impact fee of approximately $3,400 for a single family home. Impact fees are collected for new housing to offset a portion of the cost of students generated by new residential development. The School District may also sell bonds or offer certificates of participation (COPs). The District has the capacity to sell $150 million in COPS. The Florida Statutes place restrictions on the School District's portion of state funding for capital outlay to specific uses. Expansion projects for student stations may make use of state capital outlay funding sources derived from motor vehicle license tax revenue, known as Capital Outlay and Debt Service funds (CO&DS), and gross receipts tax revenue from utilities Public Education Capital Outlay funds (PECO). The recent legislative mandates have provided additional state funding for smaller class sizes and early childhood education. The School District of Indian River County SY 2006-2010 Five -Year Capital Plan reports that the School District received $604,513 from the State in fiscal year 2006 to fund additional capacity needed to support the reduced class size requirement. Community Development Department Indian River County 22 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element ANALYSIS With the data collected from the School District, the County and the municipalities, an analysis was performed to determine the short-term and long-term future conditions that will impact public schools. As part of this analysis, the current inventory of public schools and planned school capital improvements was reviewed in light of the projected student growth and available revenue to finance the planned capital improvements. Generally, the analysis focuses on whether existing and planned school capacity can support residential development at the adopted level of service standard. Specific outputs from this analysis include school capacity figures, a financially feasible adopted level of service, and goals, objectives and policies for the school concurrency program. School Service Area Boundaries A fundamental requirement of school concurrency is the establishment of geographic school service area boundaries (SSABs) to which school concurrency is applied when reviewing the impact of new residential development on public schools. The SSABs are used to determine whether adequate capacity is available to accommodate new students generated from residential development. There are two alternatives for establishing SSABs. One alternative is to establish a district -wide SSAB for each school type. This method calculates the utilization of all schools of the same school type. For example, the utilization for the elementary schools in school year 2007/08, as identified in Table 12.8, is 96%. This rate is calculated by taking the average of the utilization rates for all of the elementary schools. By measuring capacity in this manner, the School District is currently operating at a level of service lower than 100%, even though six individual schools are operating at a level of service greater than 100%. This alternative would allow development to continue without mitigation where there is no capacity at the elementary school level because capacity is available on a district -wide basis. The other alternative is to establish less than district -wide SSABs. With this alternative, SSABs would be established using geographic areas based on streets, natural boundaries or existing school attendance zones. Less than district -wide SSABs allow school capacity determinations to be made at a local level. By using a school attendance zone for the SSAB, capacity determinations directly measure the impacts of residential development at the schools, which the developments will impact. Using school attendance zones as the service areas, the School District can more accurately project which schools are most likely to be impacted by new residential development. In conjunction with the School District and the municipalities of the County, Indian River County has determined that the SSABs will be applied on a less than district -wide basis. Figures 12.3, 12.4 and 12.5 detail the school service area boundaries for the elementary, middle, and high school grade levels, respectively.

For schools, LOS is expressed as a ratio of enrollment and capacity, with capacity being number of student stations. To establish an acceptable level of service, the school district and the local governments must project future demand, identify needed capacity, and determine the level of financial resources available to construct additional capacity. These factors are then used as a basis to establish a school LOS standard. The level of service standard controls the maximum utilization of schools. Florida law requires that the public school facilities element of a local government comprehensive plan address how the level of service standards will be achieved and maintained. The ability to achieve and maintain the adopted level of service must be based on a financially feasible Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan. Furthermore, the law requires that the public school level of service standards be adopted into local government capital improvement element, and must apply to all schools of the same type (elementary, middle, and high). Initial shortfalls in capacity over the five-year period following adoption may be addressed by adopting a tiered level of service standard along with a concurrency management system. Prior to establishing a level of service standard, the School District must determine the maximum capacity of the public schools. Tables 12.8-12.11 identify the capacity of all public schools and their enrollment and utilization through school year 2012/13. The current enrollment and capacity for each school are critical in developing a school concurrency system. Public school concurrency should ensure that the capacity of schools is sufficient to support current enrollment and the projected students from future residential development. Current enrollment and school capacity data provide a baseline for developing a financially feasible level of service standard for public schools. As adopted, the public school level of service standard should maximize the efficiency of each school facility for educating students. Based on this ideal, the preferred level of service standard in Indian River County is 100% of permanent FISH capacity. Needs Assessment To determine the capacity for each school, the School District uses FISH capacity. The FISH capacity is the number of students that may be housed in a facility (school) at any given time based on a utilization percentage of the number of existing satisfactory student stations. FISH capacity is a product of the number of classrooms at a school and the student stations assigned to each room type. No capacity is assigned to small instructional spaces and the specialized classrooms (labs), including art, music, etc. Since the number of student stations at a school is used to calculate the school's capacity, the data detailed in Tables 12.8 — 12.11 are presented at the student station level. A Community Development Department 27 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element student station is defined as the square footage required per student for an instructional program based on the particular course content. As indicated above, an analysis of student stations is one component of establishing a school level of service standard. A utilization rate was also calculated for each school. The utilization rate is calculated by dividing the school's enrollment by the capacity at each school. The utilization value determines whether a school is over crowded or within its capacity designation. Schools with a utilization rate less than 100% are operating within their capacity, and schools with a utilization rate greater than 100% are over -crowded. Based on the data and analysis for school year 2007/08, current district -wide school capacity utilization is at 96.4% for elementary schools, 115.7% for middle schools, and 94.7% for high schools. To achieve a district -wide level of service standard of 99.7%, the school district must provide additional student stations at the middle school level. At the elementary school level, the district -wide utilization is less than 100%. There are, however, three elementary schools where enrollment exceeds capacity and the utilization is greater than the 100% level of service standard in school year 2007/08. Community Development Department 28 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element Elementary Schools Fourteen elementary schools are currently operated by the School District. Three additional elementary schools are proposed in the current Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan; two schools will open in school year 2010, adding approximately 1,100 additional elementary student stations. The third elementary school will open in school year 2011/2012, adding approximately 550 additional elementary student stations. With the addition of these elementary schools, the number of permanent elementary student stations will be approximately 9,839. The enrollment projection for the five-year planning period identifies a total of 8,890 elementary students by 2010. The estimated district -wide utilization at the elementary school level will then be approximately 90%. Middle Schools The School District currently operates three middle schools, all three of which are currently at or are exceeding their FISH capacity. The total number of district -wide middle school student stations is 3,323.. To accommodate the growth at the middle school level, a new middle school with a capacity of 1,196 students is planned for the 2009/10 school year. According to enrollment projections, there will be 4,130 enrolled middle school students by 2010. Based on these projections, the estimated district -wide utilization at the middle school level will be approximately 91% for the 2010/11 school year. High Schools Currently, there are two high schools in Indian River County. These are Sebastian High School and Vero Beach High School. Both high schools have capacity projects scheduled in the current Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan. While Sebastian High will receive a capacity addition, increasing its FISH capacity from 1,933 to 2,083 student stations, Vero Beach High is in the midst of a modernization project which will decrease the number of student stations on the main campus from 2,933 to 2,771. Consequently, there will be 4,854 student stations at the high school level in school year 2010/11, including the Freshman Learning Center. The estimated enrollment at the high school level for school year 2010/11 is 4,788 students. Based on these projections, the estimated district -wide utilization at the high school level is approximately 99%, for the 2010/11 school year. Figure 12.6 identifies the locations of the planned school capacity projects contained in Table 12.8 — 12.10. This figure shows approximate locations, and those locations subject to change.

Community Development Department 30 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element Financial Feasibility School concurrency requires the School Board to adopt a financially feasible five-year capital facilities plan. The Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan, which is annually updated and adopted each year, details the capital improvements needed and funding revenues available to maintain the adopted level of service. As structured, the SY 2007-2011 School District's Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan identifies four fundamental goals which have been adopted to ensure a consistent strategy for addressing facility improvements and long-range capacity needs. The first goal is to build new capacity as needed to meet student growth. The second goal addresses updating schools on a systematic schedule to meet educational needs. The next goal is to provide funding for maintenance and system renovation to ensure that facilities function safely. The fourth goal is to develop a long-range financially feasible plan. School concurrency also requires that the School District annually update and adopt a Plan that contains capacity to meet the anticipated demand for student stations, ensuring that no schools exceed their adopted level of service for the five year period. This requirement is met through the School District's Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan. The School District's Plan identifies how each project meets school capacity needs and when that capacity will be available. The Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan provides the foundation of an annual planning process that allows the School District to effectively address changing enrollment patterns, development and growth, and the facility requirements of high quality educational programs. The summary of capital improvements shown in Table 12.13 details the School District's planned expenditures over the five-year planning period. While this summary must be adopted into the Capital Improvements Element of the County's Comprehensive Plan, the school district's capital improvements program does not require county or city funding. Table 12.13 shows the estimated cost of projects to address existing facility deficiencies and future facility needs for the five-year planning period, and the long range planning period, in order to meet the adopted level of service standard. The revenue for capital expenditures will continue to be derived from local and state sources. Impact fee revenues, PECO and CO&DS revenues and revenues from the 2 mills tax assessment along with funds from the sale of certificates of participation (COPs), if the School District chooses to issue them, will comprise the bulk of the revenue stream. According to the School District's Capital Outlay Five Year Revenue Forecast, the 2 mills tax will generate $138 million over the next five years, 27.3% of which will be used to fund capital expansion projects. The Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan Summary of Estimated Revenue, shown in Table 12.14, details the School District's projections for its revenue sources over the next five years and the long-range planning period. A comparison of Tables 12.13 and 12.14 shows that the School District's capital plan is sufficient to fund necessary capital improvements and is financially feasible. Community Development Department 31 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element Proportionate Share Mitigation In the event that there is not adequate school capacity available to accommodate a development's demand for student stations, the School Board may entertain proportionate share mitigation options and, if accepted, shall enter into an enforceable and binding agreement with the developer and the affected local government to mitigate the impact from the development through the creation of additional school capacity. A mitigation contribution provided by a developer to offset the impact of a residential development must be directed by the School Board toward a school capacity project identified in the School District's Five -Year Capital Facility Plan. Capacity projects identified within the first three years of the Five -Year Capital Facility Plan shall be considered as committed projects. If capacity projects are planned in years four or five of the School District's Five -Year Capital Facility Plan within the same School Service Area Boundary (SSAB) as the proposed residential development, the developer may pay his proportionate share of the identified capacity project to mitigate the proposed development. If a capacity project does not exist in the School District's Five -Year Capital Facility Plan, the School Board may add a capacity project to satisfy the impacts from a proposed residential development, as long as financial feasibility of the Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan can be maintained. When the student impacts from a proposed development cause the adopted Level of Service to fail, a developer may enter into a 90 day negotiation period with the School District and the applicable local government to review potential mitigation projects. To be acceptable, a proportionate share project must create a sufficient number of additional student stations to maintain the established level of service with the addition of the development project's demand. Mitigation options may include, but are not limited to: (a) Contribution of land in conjunction with the provision of additional school capacity; (b) Provision of additional student stations through the donation of buildings for use as primary or alternative learning facilities; or (c) Provision of additional student stations through the renovation of existing buildings for use as learning facilities; or (d) Construction of permanent student stations or core capacity; or (e) Construction of a school in advance of the time set forth in the School District's Five - Year Capital Facilities Plan: or (f) Construction of a charter school designed in accordance with School District standards, providing permanent capacity to the District's inventory of student stations. Use of a charter school for mitigation must include provisions for its continued existence, including but not limited to the transfer of ownership of the charter school property and/or operation of the school to the School Board. Community Development Department 32 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element The amount of proportionate share mitigation to be paid will be calculated utilizing the total cost per student station, established by the Florida Department of Education, plus a share of the land acquisition and infrastructure expenditures for school sites as determined and published annually in the School District's Five Year Capital Facilities Plan. The costs associated with the identified mitigation shall be based on the estimated cost of the improvement on the date that the improvement is programmed for construction. Future costs will be calculated using estimated values at the time the mitigation is anticipated to commence. The cost of the mitigation required by the developer shall be credited toward the payment of the school impact fee. If the mitigation cost is greater than the school impact fees for the development, the difference between the developer's mitigation costs and the impact fee credit is the responsibility of the developer.

Coordinated planning requires the School Board to submit proposed school sites to the School Planning Technical Advisory Committee (SPTAC) for review and approval. The SPTAC consists of representatives from various government agencies. Prior to the SPTAC review, the affected jurisdiction may coordinate with School District staff to perform its own technical review of the site. This analysis permits the School Board and affected local governments to jointly determine the need for and timing of on-site and off-site improvements necessary to support each new school. Because Indian River County is undergoing significant infrastructure development, analyzing the infrastructure needs of planned school sites is necessary. With this process, shared funding for capital improvements for school sites can be determined according to the responsibility of each party for each specific school site. Necessary infrastructure improvements may include: potable water lines, sewer lines, drainage systems, roadways including turn lanes, traffic signalization and signage, site lighting, bus stops, and sidewalks. These improvements are assessed at the time of site plan preparation. Approval conditions can cover the timing and responsibility for construction, as well as the operation and maintenance of required on-site and off-site improvements. Any such improvements should be in keeping with the financially feasible capital plan adopted by the School Board. Other cost-effective measures should be considered by local governments during the process of formulating neighborhood plans and programs and reviewing large residential projects. During those processes, the County and the cities can encourage developers or property owners to provide the School District with incentives to build schools in their neighborhoods. These incentives may include, but are not be limited to, donation and preparation of site(s), acceptance of stormwater run-off from future school facilities into development project stormwater management systems, reservation or sale of school sites at pre -development prices, construction of new school facilities or renovation of existing school facilities, and provision of transportation alternatives. Coordination The Florida Statutes require the School District and the local governments to consider co - locating public schools and public facilities. The co -location and shared -use of facilities provide important economic advantages to the County, School District and local governments. During the preparation of its Educational Plant Survey, the School District can identify co -location and shared -used opportunities for new schools and public facilities. Likewise, co -location and shared use opportunities should be considered by the local governments when updating their comprehensive plan, schedule of capital improvements and when planning and designing new or renovating existing libraries, parks, recreation facilities, community centers, auditoriums, learning centers, museums, Community Development Department Indian River County 38 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element performing arts centers, and stadiums. Co -location and shared use of school and governmental facilities for health care and social services should also be considered. As detailed in Figure 12.7, several co -location opportunities are available for existing facilities. Middle schools and high schools are particularly well equipped to serve as community centers because of their capacity, parking, and multi-purpose classrooms. If middle schools were available for such purposes, community associations and private organizations could utilize schools for meetings and events. The North County Park, located near Sebastian River Middle School, provides an opportunity for mutual benefit. Oslo Middle School, which is located adjacent to the South County Park, also provides an opportunity for benefit. Both of these examples highlight opportunities for the shared use of public school and park facilities. For each instance of co -location and shared use, the School Board and the County or affected municipality must enter into an agreement addressing each party's liability, operating and maintenance costs, scheduling of use, facility supervision, and other issues that may arise. As residential development occurs near school facilities, opportunities exist for the County and School District to jointly plan for community focal points and parks. Recently, the County completed planning efforts on the South County Initiative and the West County Initiative. These initiatives involve several adjacent residential development projects and the provision of pedestrian facilities, future school sites, parks, and a connected roadway grid. Such coordinated planning between the School District and the County ensures that proposed school sites will be consistent with land use plans and regulations. Likewise, a co -location review by the School District of a proposed County capital project will enhance co -location opportunities. The required coordinated planning for co -location will additionally result in capital savings for the School District and the County.

POLICY 4.1: The County shall, no later than December 1st of each year, incorporate into the Capital Improvements Element the "Summary of Capital Improvements Program" and "Summary of Estimated Revenue" tables from the School District's annually adopted Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan prepared by the School Board and submitted to the County by December of the previous year. POLICY 4.2: The County, in conjunction with the School District, shall annually review the Public School Facilities Element and maintain a long-range public school facilities map series, including the planned general location of schools and ancillary facilities for the five-year planning period and the long-range planning period. Community Development Department Indian River County 44 Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element PLAN IMPLEMENTATION The implementation of the Public Schools Facilities Element will involve numerous activities. The most extensive of these will be the implementation of the provisions contained in the Interlocal Agreement for Coordinated Planning and School Concurrency. The Public School Facilities Element's implementation is contingent upon the implementation of the other elements of the comprehensive plan. Overall implementation responsibility rests with the County planning staff. The staff will bear the primary role of executing the Interlocal Agreement. The planning staff must also provide the local planning agency, the School District, and the Board of County Commissioners the information and analysis upon which their actions and decisions will be based. The plan implementation actions and responsibilities are shown in Table 12.14.

Generally, a plan's effectiveness can be judged by the degree to which its objectives have been met. Because objectives are measurable and have specific time frames, the plan's objectives are the benchmarks used to evaluate the plan. The planning department staff will be responsible for monitoring and evaluating the Public Schools Facilities Element on a regular basis, which involves collection of data and compilation of information regarding school capacity, and new residential development. Formal evaluation of the Public School Facilities Element will occur based on the schedule provided by the Florida Department of Community Affairs in conjunction with the formal evaluation and appraisal of the entire comprehensive plan. In addition to assessing progress, the evaluation and appraisal process will also be used to determine whether the Public School Facilities objectives should be modified or expanded. In this way, the monitoring and evaluation of the Public School Facilities Element will not only provide a means of determining the degree of success of the plan's implementation; it will also provide a mechanism for evaluating needed changes to the plan element.
