Checklist of Up-to-Date Pages
(Thia checkliat will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page-for-page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and
supplementation many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user
to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of
each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second
column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an
up-to-date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted
in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code.
When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this
column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on
the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used
in compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent

Editor's note-Part A of Ord. No. 87-2, adopted Aug. 25, 1987, deleted subsection (b) of
§ 1-17-33, which subsection pertained to credits against the road impact fee.
Sec. 1-17-33.1. Credits.
(a) Scope. Any person who shall commence any traffic impact-generating land development
activity may apply for a credit against the required road impact fee for any contribution,
construction, or dedication of land made by such person or predecessor in interest and accepted
and received by St. Lucie County, the appropriate local municipality, state or federal agency for
Supp. No. 82 919
§ 1-17-33.1 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE
transportation facilities that are creditable pursuant to this section. Consistent with the
standards of this section, an application may be made for credit for any contribution,
construction or dedication made in St. Lucie County as required by a development order issued
by St. Lucie County, the City of Fort Pierce, the City of Port St. Lucie, or St. Lucie Village
pursuant to its local development regulations or F.S. § 380.06, or any additional development
condition imposed by the Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission on a development
of regional impact to the extent the contribution, payment, construction or dedication meets
the same needs as the road impact fee.
(b) General stdndards. Any person desiring a road impact fee credit, who proposes to make
any contribution, construction or dedication of a transportation facility along any roadway that
is identified in the county's comprehensive plan or in the St. Lucie County Metropolitan
Planning Organization Roads Impact Fee Eligibility Network, shall first obtain from the board
of county commissioners an approval that the proposed contribution, construction or dedica-
tion is considered to be eligible for a road impact fee credit. Upon the determination by the
board that the proposed contribution, construction or dedication is eligible for a road impact
fee credit, the final amount of the credit shall be determined upon the submission of a request
for road impact free credit and the entering into of a formal road impact fee credit agreement.
Prior to the issuance of any credits against the road impact fee, the person who made the
contribution, construction or dedication of transportation facilities shall enter into an impact
fee credit agreement with the board of county commissioners. The following provisions are the
general rules for the award of credit, supplemented as provided in this section and imple-
mented by the administrative procedures:
(1) Credits applied against the roads impact fee for contributions, construction or
dedications shall not be transferable as a credit against other impact fees imposed for
purposes other than roads.
(2) If allowed by the credit agreement, credits may be assigned to successors in interest
provided the county receives a recorded copy of the written agreement signed by both
the assignor and the assignee.
(3) No credit shall exceed the amount due for the roads impact fee.
(4) No credit shall be given for dedications and transportation improvements dedicated or
constructed before February 1, 1985. Any claim for credit for those improvements
constructed after February 1, 1985, but prior to September 1, 1987, must be made no
later than March 1, 1988, or those claims shall be deemed waived.
(c) Specific standards. Credits against road impact fees otherwise payable shall be allowed
only under the following conditions:
(1) County need. The contribution, payment, construction or dedication shall meet a
transportation capital need identified in the county's comprehensive plan or in the St.
Lucie County Metropolitan Planning Organization Roads Impact Fee Eligibility
Networks. No credit shall be given for capital improvements that do not meet a
Supp. No. 82 920
ROADS AND BRIDGES § 1-17-33.1
transportation capital need identified in county's comprehensive plan or in the St.
Lucie County Metropolitan Planning Organization Roads Impact Fee Eligibility
Networks.
(2) Site-related transportation improvement. No credit shall be given for any site-related
transportation improvements or site-related right-of-way dedications, unless it can be
shown to the satisfaction of the county administrator through appropriate technical
documentation that the site related improvement or right-of-way dedication provides
for roadway capacity enhancements in excess of the impacts of the proposed develop-
ment. Site-related transportation and right-of-way improvements, include, but are not
limited to:
a. All driveway connections, turn lanes and other site specific access improvements
connecting the property defined in a final development order to any adjacent
impact fee eligible roadway.
b. All driveways, roads and attendant support systems including but not limited to
drainage facilities, mitigation areas, etc., within, or immediately adjacent to, the
defined limits of the approved final development order.
(3) Safety-related improuements. Safety-related improvements which do not increase road
capacity shall receive no credit.
(4) Operational improvements. Nonsite-related operational improvements shall receive
credit to the extent that they provide increased capacity.
(5) Capacity improvements. Nonsite-related capacity enlargements shall receive credit to
the extent that they provide increased capacity.
(6) Right-of-way dedication. Credit for the dedication of nonsite-related right-of-way shall
be valued at one hundred twenty (120) per cent of the assessed value by the county
property appraiser plus the reasonable cost, as determined by the county administra-
tor, of any survey, closing costs or title information provided by the fee-payer to the
county at the request of the county. For the purposes of this section, the year of the
assessed value that is to be used to determine the credit value shall be the year prior
to the county's, or other unit of local governments, granting of a development order,
including changes in zoning, changes in land use, or site plan approvals where such
action results in the request for non-site related right-of-way. Credit for the dedication
of right-of-way shall be provided when the property has been conveyed at no charge to,
and accepted by, the county in a manner satisfactory to the board of county
commissioners. If the feepayer shall opt not to have the right-of-way dedication credit
determined as set out above, then the amount of credit shall be determined by the
board of county commissioners based on an independent property appraisal, as
described in section 1-17-36 of this article, prepared by an individual who is both a
member of the appraisal institute (MAI) and a state certified general appraiser
acceptable to the board of county commissioners, that is paid for by the feepayer. At the
option of the board, the board may request a review appraisal, as described in section
1-17-37 of this article, provided that in the event the value established by the
Supp. No. 82 J21
§ 1-17-33.1 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE
independent appraisal exceeds one hundred twenty (120) per cent of the assessed
value by more than twenty-five (25) per cent, the board shall request a review
appraisal. In the event the board determines to request a review appraisal and the
determination of the value is the same or greater than value determined by the
independent appraiser, then the county shall bear the cost of the review appraisal. If
the determination of the value by the review appraiser is less than the value
determined by the independent appraiser, then the feepayer shall pay for the cost of
the review appraisal. Any independent or review appraisal submitted pursuant to this
subsection shall be subject to review of inethodology and technical accuracy at the
discretion of the county administrator.
In the event a property owner determines to donate, and the county determines to
accept, nonsite-related right-of-way for any planned nonexisting roads or expansion of
existing impact fee eligible roadways as described in subsection 1-17-33.1(c)(1) to the
county in advance of any application for final development order approval, the board
of county commissioners shall determine the value of the credit for the dedicated
right-of-way on the date the dedicated right-of-way was provided. No right-of-way
credit determination may include the consideration of any enhancement to the value
of property dedicated as a result of the new or expanded roadway construction.
(7) Application procedure. Applicants for credit for construction of nonsite-related road
improvements shall submit documentation of the actual engineering and construction
costs to the county administrator or his designee. The county administrator or his
designee shall determine credit for roadway construction based upon these costs or
upon alternative engineering and construction cost estimates if the county adminis-
trator or his designee determines that such costs submitted are excessive or incom-
plete.
(8) Acquisition by purchase or condemnation. In the event a developer is required as a
condition of a final development order to acquire off-site right-of-way along impact fee
eligible roadways as described in subsection 1-17-33.1(c)(1), the developer shall first
obtain an independent property appraisal as described in section 1-17-36 and provide
the county administrator with a copy of the appraisal. The county administrator may
obtain a review appraisal as described in section 1-17-37.
Except as provided below, credits for right-of-way acquisition shall be based on the
independent property appraisal, the review appraisal, or the purchase price, if lower,
as determined by the county administrator. In the event the developer is unable to
acquire the right-of-way for appraised value or lower, the board may:
a. Grant additional credits above the appraised value if it determines that the cost
of acquisition is less than the cost of condemnation or that condemnation is not
practical or desired; or,
b. Authorize the condemnation of the parcels; or,
c. Deny the request for additional credits.

ROADS AND BRIDGES § 1-17-35
(9) Time of claim; waiver. Except as provided in subsection 1-17-33.1(b)(4), any claim for
credit must be made no later than the time of application for a building permit or for
an electrical permit for a mobile home or recreational vehicle. Any claim not so made
shall be deemed waived.

Sec. 1-17-35. Independent traffic study.
In the event that the feepayer opts not to use the road impact fee tables set out in section
1-17-29, the amount of road impact fee due shall be determined by the county administrator
Supp. No. 82 923
§ 1-17-35 ST. LUCIE COiTNTY CODE
based upon the traffic generation rates determined by an Independent ~affic Study (ITS),
prepared by a registered Florida professional engineer. The Independent ~affic Study or "ITS"
is a statement meeting the following criteria:
(1) The statement shall project whether roads serving or to serve the proposed project will
fall below level of service D during any calendar month of any year during a
twenty-year period beginning from the project start of the development.
(2) In deterxnining the effects of a proposed project on the level of service, the ITS shall
consider the following:
a. Traf~ic characteristics and levels of service of existing major thoroughfares
directly affected by the proposed project;
b. Trip generation and origin-destination projections for the proposed project;
c. Impacts of the proposed project on affected major thoroughfares including
anticipated changes in the level of service;
d. Impacts of previously approved projects affecting the same major thoroughfares
as the proposed project;
e. Radius of development influence;
f. Effects of phasing of the proposed development including relationships to any
long-range thoroughfare plans of the county and to the five-year transportation
improvement program of any metropolitan planning organization and the five-
year work program of the Florida Department of Transportation;
g. Effects of roadway alterations to be made as part of the proposed project,
including intersection improvements, turn lanes, signalization, median and other
improvements;
h. Impacts of increased through traffic movement and traffic from potential devel-
opments permitted and contemplated under the St. Lucie County Comprehensive
Plan.
(3) The ITS shall address each of the applicable Goals, Objectives and Policies of the St.
Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
(4) The following methods of evaluation and standards shall be used in preparing the ITS,
unless the county administrator finds that, because of circumstances unique to the
proposed development and roadway system serving the proposed development, other
methods or standards provide a more accurate means to evaluate the status of the
major thoroughfaxes affected by the proposed project:
a. Total traffic generated by the project shall be computed using the rates published
in the latest edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) "Trip
Generation and Informational Report," unless documentation is supplied justi-
fying the use of different rates.
Supp. No. 82 924
ROADS AND BRIDGES § 1-17-35
b. ~affic assignments shall be made for each link within the project's radius of
development influence in conformance with good traffic engineering principles.
The ITS shall use the following table of average daily trips as the standard for
level of service D:
Average
Design Type Daily Trips
~vo-lane (two-way) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13,900
Four-lane(undivided) .......................................... 24,400
Four-lane(divided) ............................................. 32,900
Six-lane (undivided) ............................................ 40,200
Six-lane (divided) .............................................. 50,000
Eight-lane (divided) ............................................ 65,100
Four-lane expressway .......................................... 68,700
Six-lane expressway ........................................... 102,200
Eight-lane expressway ......................................... 137,500
Average daily trips shall be based on data for travel during the first quarter of the
calendar year.
c. In lieu of being based on the table in paragraph b, the ITS may be based on an
analysis of peak hour intersection capacities to determine whether the standard
is met. The analysis shall contain detailed intersection analyses (including
calculations) for all intersections within the radius of development influence.
Where detailed intersection capacity analysis is provided, the 1985 Highway
Capacity Manual shall be referenced and used as documentation. When or if
subsequent editions become available, such subsequent editions shall be refer-
enced.
d. The county administrator may require that both the lane analysis and the
intersection analysis be provided if he has reason to believe that at one or more
~ affected intersections the sum of peak-hour critical lane volumes is expected to
exceed one thousand two hundred (1,200) vehicles per hour.
e. The ITS shall cover the radius of development influence of a proposed develop-
ment, which shall include an area of five (5) road miles from the perimeter of the
development. The project's radius of development influence shall be measured as
road miles from the proposed project, not as a geometric radius.
f. Background traffic shall be taken into account as follows:
1. The effect of previously approved but incomplete projects that may eventu-
ally affect the major thoroughfares within the radius of development
influence of the proposed project shall be addressed in the ITS as provided
herein.
2. Phasing of previously approved projects may be considered in the analysis of
background traffic.
Supp. No. 82 924.1
§ 1-17-35 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE
g. Future traf~ic shall be taken into account as follows:
1. The effects of increased through traf~c and increases in traffic associated
with the development of lands suitable for development but not yet planned
should be estimated. Estimates should be developed for a twenty-year
period for through movements and for total buildout of potential develop-
ments.
2. The current land use element of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan
in conjunction with the current zoning designations should [be] utilized to
estimate the traffic impact from potential developments affecting the radius
of development impact.
h. The ITS may take into account roads and road improvements not yet constructed
only if all funds for such roads and road improvements have already been
specifically appropriated by the board of county commissioners or the legislature
of the State of Florida for the particular road or road improvements.
i. The ITS shall identify all roadway improvements necessitated by projected traffic
and the per cent impact of the traf~'ic of the projected increased traffic demand by
link for each required improvement not included under paragraph h.
j. The ITS shall also identify the costs of all link improvements required by
projected traffic in the ITS.
k. The ITS shall identify the impact fee by multiplying the cost by link as identified
in paragraph j. by the percentage of impact traffic as determined in paragraph i.
1. The impact fee shall be computed as set forth in section 1-17-29(b).
m. The ITS shall be prepared and sealed by a registered Florida professional
engineer.
n. Studies and analyses required by this section shall be subject to review of
methodology and technical accuracy by the county administrator.

is based before the acquisition of rights and interests to be acquired and the highest
and best use of the remainder after the acquisition when a partial taking is involved.
In either instance, if the existing use is not the premise on which the valuation is
based, the appraisal will contain an explanation justifying the determination that the
property is available and adaptable for a different highest and best use and there is
demand for that use in the market. In determining highest and best use, the appraiser
shall not consider any development approvals granted subsequent to the date of
valuation.
(5) Before and after aaluation. The "before and after" method of valuation as interpreted
by Florida law will be used in partial donations or special benefits to the residue land

(6) Approaches to vdlue. The appraisal should include all applicable approaches to value.
If an approach is not considered applicable, the appraiser must state why. All pertinent
calculations used in developing the approaches will be shown.
a. In the market approach, the appraisal report will contain a direct comparison of
pertinent comparable sales to the property being appraised. The appraiser must
include a statement setting forth his analysis and reasoning for each item of
adjustment to comparable sales.
b. Where the income (capitalization) approach is used, there must be documentation
to support the income, expenses, interest rate, capitalization rate, discount rate,
and any other factors used in the analysis. Where it is determined that the
market rental income is different from the existing or contract income, the
increase or decrease must be explained and supported by market information.
c. Where the cost approach is utilized, the appraisal report must contain the specific
source of cost data, remaining economic life, and an explanation of each type of
accrued depreciation.
Supp. No. 82 924.3
§ 1-17-36 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE

e. In the event the data described in a through d above are not available, the
appraisal will so state and give the appraiser's reasoning for his value estimate.
(8) Difference between before and after. The difference between the before and after
appraisal will represent the value of the property to be acquired including the damages
to the remainder property. The appraiser will separately analyze and tabulate the
difference showing a reasonable allocation to lane improvements, and damages.
(9) More than one dpproach used. Where two (2) or more of the approaches of value are
used, the appraisal will show the correlation of the separate indications of value
derived by each approach along with a reasonable explanation for the final conclusion
of value. 1'his correlation will be included for both before and after appraisals.
(10) Photographs. All appraisals should include identified photographs of the subject
property including all principal above ground improvements or unusual features
affecting the value of the property to be taken or damaged.

property showing boundary dunensions, location of improvements and other signifi-
cant features of the property. For partial takings, the sketch or plat will also show the
area to be acquired, relation of the improvements to the taking area and area of each
remainder.
(12) Comparable sales. Each appraisal report will contain or make reference to the
comparable sales which were used in arriving at the fair market value.
a. The appraiser must state the date of sale, names of parties to the transaction,
consideration paid, financing, conditions of sale and with whom these were
verified, the location, total area, type of improvements, appraiser's estimate of
highest and best use at the date of sale, zoning and any other data pertinent to
the analysis and evaluation thereof.
b. If the appraiser is unable to verify the financing and conditions of sale from the
usual sources such as buyer, seller, broker, title or escrow company etc., he will so
state.
