If a building is requested for mixed uses, then the fee shall be determined through using the above
schedule by apportioning the space committed to uses specified on the schedule.
(b) If the type of development activity for which a building permit is applied is not specified on
the above fee schedule, the county administrator shall use the fee applicable to the most nearly comparable
type of land development on the above fee schedule. The county administrator shall be guided in the selection
of a comparable type by Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and/or Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) traffic generation statistics. If the county administrator determines that there is no
comparable type of land use on the above fee schedule, then the county administrator shall determine the fee
by:
(1) Using traffic generation statistics contained in the latest edition of the Institute of
Transportation Engineers "Trip Generation: An Information Report," or trip generation statistics supplied
and certified by a registered Florida professional engineer, and
(2) Using for average trip length the average trip length of all average trip lengths for
the applicable land use type as set out in this article (i.e., residential, office and financial, industrial,
recreational, institutional, retail) that were used in calculating the above fee schedule, and
(3) Using as a per cent new trips the average per cent new trips for the applicable land
use type (i.e., residential, office and financial, industrial, recreational, institutional, retail) that were used in
calculating the above fee schedule, and
(4) Applying the formula set .forth in 1-17-29(c) hereof.
The county administrator shall determine the applicable Innd use type,

compliance certificate, the impact fee shall be based upon the net increase in the impact fee for the new use
as compared to the previous use. The county administrator shall be guided in this determination by Florida
Department of Transportation (FOOT) and/or Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) traffic generation
statistics. If, however, the previous use has been either abandoned or otherwise inactive for a period of 2
consecutive tears prior to the request for the issuance of n bui (ding permit, electrical permit for recreational
vehicle parks or mobile home parks or zoning compliance certificate, then the impact fee calculated shall be
based upon the new use with an adjustment for any impact fees paid for the previous use.
(c) If the feepayer shall opt not to have the impact fee determined according to paragraph (a)
of this section, then the fee shall be determined by the county administrator based upon the traffic
generation rates determined by an independent traffic study (ITS), defined in section 1-17-35 of this article,
prepared by the feepayer and submitted to the .county administrator or his designee.
The following formula shall be used by the county administrator or his designee to determine the
impact fee per unit:
Attributable travel = (Trip rate x trip length)(2 x % New trips)
New land miles =Attributable travel/Lane capacity
Construction cost =New lane miles x Construction cost per lane mile
Right-of-way cost =New lane miles xRight-of-way cost per lane mile
Total cost =Construction cost + Right-of-way cost
Net cost =Total cost--Offsets
