FINAL REPORT<br />

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY IMPACT FEE STUDY<br />

I. Introduction and Policy Summary<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

<strong>Indian</strong> <strong>River</strong> <strong>County</strong> (IRC) has been experiencing significant growth over the past two<br />

decades. During the 1980’s, the county population increased by 51 percent and in the<br />

1990’s by 24 percent.<br />

To address the infrastructure costs associated with new growth, the <strong>County</strong> retained<br />

Tindale-Oliver & Associates (TOA), in conjunction with Freilich, Leitner, and Carlisle<br />

(FLC) and Dr. A. Chris Nelson, to conduct impact fee studies for eight service/facility<br />

categories, including:<br />

• Correctional Facilities<br />

• Solid Waste Facilities<br />

• Public Buildings<br />

• Libraries<br />

• Fire/Emergency Services<br />

• Law Enforcement<br />

• Public Education Facilities<br />

• Parks<br />

The purpose of these studies is to create a legally defensible and economically<br />

supportable set of impact fees for the above areas.<br />

This final report identifies the methodology upon which each of the impact fees will be<br />

based, including the service area, level of service, demand, cost and credit <strong>com</strong>ponents.<br />

This report starts with an overview of policy issues that should be considered in the<br />

implementation of new impact programs. The remainder of this report is organized in the<br />

following sections:<br />
