Re: St. Lucie County Jail Medical Wing Expansion '
I apologize for having to leave the local stimulus meeting held on March 17, 2009. It
is my understanding that after I left the meeting that the subject of the jail medical
expansion was discussed by staff and the board. The recommendation was made to
utilize the money set aside for the jail expansion for other projects.
At this time, I respectfully request, on behalf of the Sheriff's Office, that the Board
reconsider the funding for the jail medical expansion. The reasons for this request
are as follows.
The jail medical expansion is something that is drastically needed for the safety and
security of both inmates and staff at the St. Lucie County j ail. Currently, the medical
unit is inadequate because it was designed based on a jail with a population of 700
inmates. The current population of the jail is approximately 1,390.
Furthermore, with the addition of the beds as designed, the need to send inmates in
need of medical attention to the local hospital will be greatly reduced. As you know,
St. Lucie County is responsible for medical bills for inmates that are moved from the
jail to the hospital for medical treatment. At times the jail medical, which has 12
inmate singular housing units, has a population in excess of 30 prisoners in the unit.
The Sheriff's Office has worked with a design group and has design plans ready to -
move forward with this project. We strongly recommend that the Board include thle'
jail medical expansion in phase one of the local stimulus package and begin ~y r ~ , ; ; i . t
preparation to expand the jail medical unit has soon as possible.
Should you have any questions with regards to this request, please feel free to contact
me.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Mark Satterlee, AICP, Growth Management Direcl+
FROM: Michael Brillhart, Capital Improvements Managerdyl~
DATE: April 21, 2009
SUBJECT: Status Report on the Proposed Impact Fee Update: Technical Analysis
Being Performed by Dr. James C. Nicholas
At its October 16, 2008 meeting, the Planning & Zoning Commission requested Dr. Nicholas to
prepare an impact fee update using a "consumption" based methodology as a comparison to
the new "improvements" based impact fee methodology that was presented to Planning
Commissioners. Currently, the impact fee rates adopted by the County are based upon a
"consumption" (needs) methodology first used in 1985.
The improvements based analysis was prepared by Dr. Nicholas in consideration of Chapter
163.3177(3), F.S. as it relates to mandatory annual Capital Improvement Element (CIE) updates
and outstanding impact fee issues with the City of Port St. Lucie. This methodology relies
primarily upon capital projects and accompanying data adopted within the County's 5-year CIE
needed to ensure adequate public facilities and adopted level of service standards.
The improvements based methodology and analysis is referenced in the attached draft Exhibit
A "Technical Memorandum on the Methods Used to Calculate Improvements Driven Road,
Public Buildings, and Park & Recreation Impact Fees" dated September 15, 2008 while the
consumption based methodology is shown in the attached draft Exhibit B "Technical
Memorandum on the Methods Used to Calculate Consumption Based Road, Public Buildings,
and Parks & Recreation Impact Fees" dated March 30, 2009.
On October 16, 2008 staff had recommended approval of Ordinance 08-017 to the Planning &
Zoning Commission adopting the "improvements" based methodology and impact fee update.
However, the Commission recommended a continuation of this item until their April 16, 2009
meeting in order for Dr. Nicholas to complete the updated consumption based analysis for
methodology comparison. Based upon discussion at the April 16, 2009 meeting, Planning &
Zoning Commissioners continued this item until June 18th to allow for additional input from the
general public and other interested parties.
Dr. Nicholas has advised staff that a "consumption" based analysis has been historically used in
Florida and is easier to maintain and update than an "improvements" based methodology. Dr.
Nicholas will be present at the Board's April 28th informal meeting to discuss both reports.
Pending final review and recommendation by the Planning ~ Zoning Commission in
consideration of the two separate impact fee methodologies, staff is seeking further direction
from the Board of County Commissioners regarding the impact fee update.

SUBJECT: Impact Fee Methodology Update
BACKGROUND: In consideration of new growth management requirements relating to Capital
Improvements Element (CIE) updates that were adopted through Senate Bill
360 by the State in 2005 and ongoing impact fee issues with the City of Port St.
Lucie, Dr. James C. Nicholas was requested to prepare an impact fee update
using an "improvements' based methodology. This update is referenced in the
attached Exhibit A document entitled Technical Memorandum on the Methods
Used to Calculate Improvements Driven Roads, Public Buildings, and Parks &
Recreation Impact Fees" dated September 15, 2008. Currently, impact fees are
assessed in St. Lucie County based upon a `consumption" based methodology
that has been used since 1985. Dr. Nicholas has also prepared an updated
consumption based methodology as shown in Exhibit B entitled "Technical
Memorandum on the Methods Used to Calculate Consumption Based Road,
Public Buildings, and Parks & Recreation Impact Fees". These two
methodologies are presented as comparison documents for review and
comment.
FUNDS AVAILABLE: N/A
PREVIOUS ACTION: At its October 16, 20008 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission
reviewed draft Ordinance No. OS-017 pertaining to the adoption of an
`improvements" based impact fee update and recommended a continuation of
this item until the April 2009 meeting and requested that a "consumption"
based methodology be prepared as well for comparison with the
°improvements' based methodology.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that this item be continued until the May 2009
Planning 8~ Zoning Commission meeting.

THROUGH: Mark Satterlee, AICP, Growth Management Director
FROM: Michael Brillhart, Capital Improvements Manager
DATE: April 3, 2009
SUBJECT: Status Report on the Proposed Impact Fee Update: Technical Analysis
Being Performed by Dr. James C. Nicholas
At its October 16, 2008 meeting, the Planning & Zoning Commission requested Dr. Nicholas to
prepare an impact fee update using a "consumption" based methodology as a comparison to
the new "improvements" based methodology impact fee update that that was presented to
Planning Commissioners. Beginning in 1985, the impact fee rates adopted by the County are
based upon a "consumption" methodology. An "improvements" based analysis was prepared by
Dr. Nicholas at the request of the Boarc! of County Commissioners in consideration of changes
to the State's Growth Management regulations pertaining to annual Capital Improvement
Element Updates, as referenced in the 2005 Senate Bill 380 legislation, and outstanding impact
fee issues with the City of Port St. Lucie.
The Improvements based methodology is referenced in the attached draft Exhibit A "Technical
Memorandum on the Methods Used to Calculate Improvements Driven Road, Public Buildings,
and Park & Recreation Impact Fees'" dated September 15, 2008 and was previously reviewed
by Planning Commissioners on October 18, 2008. At that meeting, it was requested that a
"consumption" based methodology, as referenced in the attached draft Exhibit B "Technical
Memorandum on the Methods Used to Calculate Consumption Based Road, Public Buildings,
and Parks & Recreation Impact Fees" be prepared and compared with the data and rates
calculated in the "improvements" based methodology. Both draft copies are attached and
presented for your review.
At the October 16, 2008 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, staff had recommended
approval for the "improvements" based update technical methodology prepared by Dr. Nicholas
and referenced in Exhibit A that would have been adopted by the Board. of County
Commissioners through Ordinance 08-017. The Commission recommended a continuation of
this item until the April meeting in order to compare both methodologies. At this time, staff has
removed Ordinance No. OS-017 from further consideration.
In consideration of the two separate and distinct impact fee methodologies and analysis, staff is
seeking further direction from the Board of County Commissioners regarding the use of eiEher
impact fee methodology update. It is anticipated that the Board of County Commissioners will
provide staff with further direction at its informal monthly meeting on April 28, 2009. As such,
staff is still in the process of reviewing the recently submitted °consumption" based analysis
(Exhibit B) and is recommending that this item be continued until the May 21, 2009 Planning ~
Zoning Commission meeting.

A. .impact Fees in Florida
While there is recently adopted impact fee legislation in`Florida,l there,is no general enabling
act that sets standards for the preparation and use of,impact fees,: Rather, impact fees evolved
through Florida's courts starting in the late 1960's and ultimately wexe recognized as being
within a local government's home rule authority. This method of evolution was perhaps the
only option since Florida cities and eoun6es were exploring new issues of governance and
government finance since the adoption of the new ~constitutian in 1968. This revised Constitu-
tion granted local governments broad home rule authority ~ while iequiririg, authorization by
general law forlocal government imposition of taxes. Thus the ~ difference between police
power actions, which' fell under home ,lure authority, and taxes, .which required, .general
enabling legislation, .was of ,critical importance. ~ The body of law that came .out of this
evolutionary process, clearly established, that:,
• Impact•Fees are permissible as exercise of the police powers;
.
• Impact fees cannot exceed a pro rata share of the cost of expanding facilities required
to serve new~development; '
• Impact fees cannot be:imposed or structured to provide a "windfall" to existing resi-
' dents; and
• impact fees must satisfy the dual rational. nexus between the need for facility improve-
. ments and new development. '
The Florida Supreme;Gourt, beginning with Contrac#ors and Builders Association of Pinellas
County v City Of Dunedin, 329 So. 2d 314 (Fla. 1976), dealt first with the conditions under
Vvhich impact fees may be utilized and alien with rile amounts that may be charged as impact
fees. In Dunedin the Florida. Supreme Court wrote: ~ '
Raising expansion capital by setting connection charges, which do notexceed' a 'pro rata
share of reasonably anticipated costs of expansion, is permissible where expansion is rea-
sonably required, if.u~e of the money collected is limited to meeting the costs of.expansion..
Users `who benefit .especially, not from the maintenance of the system, but by. thg~ exten-
sion of the system should bear~the cost,of that extension." (citations omitted
The Dunedin court also makes clear that such charges, now known as impact fees, are not
i See 163.31801, Florida Statutes.
2008 Impact Fee Update _ 2 _
unlimited. Extending their rationale:
[T]he cost of new facilities should be borne by new users to the extent new use requires
new facilities, but only to that extent, When new facilities must be built in any event,
looking only to new users for necessary capital gives old users a windfall at the expense
of new users.
New users can only be held responsible for the costs attributable to new use and not for other
costs, especially any charge that would yield a "windfall" to the existing community. .
Dunedin was a case involving a municipally owned water and sewer utility. It fell to
Hollywood Inc. v Broward County, 431 So.2d b06 (Fla. 4'h DCA 1983) to deal with the
application of the Dunedin logic to parks, a facility that~the F1Qrida cities'of Gulf Breeie,
Maitland and Hollywood had tried unsuccessfully to fund with development cliarges: ' In
Hollywood Inc.' the court wrote: ~ '
. [Wre discern the general legal_principle that reasonable dedic.~tion.or, impact fee require-
ments are.perrnissible so .long as.they offset needs sufficiently attributable to.the subdiyi- .
. sion and so long as the funds collected are sufFiciently earmarked for the substantial
benefit of the subdivision residents. In.order to satisfy these requirements, the local gov-
ernment must demonstrate .a reasonable connection, or rational nexus, between the need
for additional capital facilities aztd the growth in population generated by the subdivision. .
In addition, the government must show a reasona>le ~coniiection, or rational nexus, be-' ~ ,
tween the expenditures of the funds collected and the benefits accruingto the subdivision.' .
In order to satisfy this latter requirement, the ordinance must specifically, eam~ark the
funds collected for use in acquiring capital facilities to benefit the new residents.
The Hollywood Inc. Court provides the principles of the Dual Rational Nexus Test. Specifi-
cally, that: '
• The local government must demonstrate a reasonable connection, or rational nexus,
between the need for additional capital facilities and the growth generated by the de-
veloprnenf being charged the impact fees, and
• The government must specifically earmark the funds collected for use in acquiring
' capital facilities to benefit the development charged the im~act'fees. '
The paramount issue with respect to impact fees is. nexus. ~ There must be a nexus2 between new
development and the need to expand infrastructure. This demonstration is to be accomplished
in the consultant's report. The second crucial issue is the identification of a pro rata share of
the cost of expanding that infrastructure. This .too is _ to be accomplished in the consultant's
report. . ~ ~ .
During the' 200b session, an act was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the
Governor that dealt with impact fees (163.31891 Florida Statutes). The only portions of this act
that deal with the calculation of impact fees are the requirements that calculation of impact fees
z In Nollan v California Coastal Commission (107 S. Ct. 3141, 1987), Justice Scalia character
ized a nexus as "essential."
2008 Impact Fee Update - 3 -
be based on the most recent and localized data.
The general criteria for impact fees in Florida are:
t ` ~ Impact fees adopted must be. based upon the establishment of a nexus between new
development and the need to expand infrastructure;
. .
• . The calculation of impact fees must use the most recent and localized data; and
The resulting impact fees may be no more than•a pro rata share of the reasonably an-
ticipated cost of expanding that infrastructure.
In Florida there are twd general types of impact -fee methodologies; consumption based and
• improvements based.
. Consumption Based. T`he,consumption based (also known as "standards based") me-
thodology calculates impact fees based on the value of public infrastructure consumed
per unit of land use. The value Hof the public infrastructure is usually developed by cal-
culating the replacement cost of the existing public capital infrastructure. This re-
placement value is then related to a facility based standard such as fire stations per 1000
population, acres of parks per 1000 population, library or other building square footage
.per 1000 population, etc.
The major advantage of the consumption based approach is the flexibility provided to
the local government in meeting the need. for infrastructure improvements. Specifi-
cally, agovernment that uses a consumption based impact fee can develop its capital
improvement program to include projects that directly respond to where growth and the
need for the• public infrastructure occurs. The capital improvement program.list of im-
provements•is reviewed annually and that list can c'liange as growth patterns change, re-
s~lting in new project priorities: Generally, these changes occur in•the out years of the
capital improvement program. Finally, it.sHould be noted that ordinances that imple-
' merit consumption based impact fees generally include a provision that ties the need for
and benefit of impact fees to projects that must be included in the local government's
capital improvements .program and comprehensive plan capital improvements element.
An exampie of a consumption based calculation would be:
• Average cost of roads per lane-Hole is $1,500,000
. • bevel of service for roads per lane-mile is 7,500 vehicles per day
• Road cost per vehicle per lane-mile is $200
• Lane-miles per vehicle per day is 15 and mad cost per vehicle is $3,000
• Vehicles per dwelling is 2, so road. cost per dwelling in $6,000.
2008 Impact Fee Update _ 4 _
These calculations are doing without reference to any specific road or improvement.
Improvements Based. The improvements based {also known as "needs based") meth-
odology charges new development based on a specific set of capital improvement pro-
jects.as setout in a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This approach is usually based on
a long-range master plan that includes a list ~of future projects that are determined to be
necessary to accommodate existing and future growth'at the adopted level of service.
Under the needs based approach, an analysis is made of the impact of any existing deft-
. ciencies aid an adjustment is made to account for deficiencies existing at the beginning
of the planning period to assure that the cost of correcting. those deficiencies is not
shifted to new development. However, generally, no adjustment is made for excess ca-
pacity built as part of the improvements list that is available at the~end of the planning
..period; since the improvements driven approach did nat .charge for the existing excess
capacity that is available at the start of the planning period and that is consumed by new
development. The implicit or explicit assumption is that there may be excess capacity
' in'every infrastructure system, and, ~as long as the amount or proportion of excess ca-
pacify at the end of the planning period is reasonably similar to what was there at the
'beginning, there is: no need to make adjustments for excess capacity:,
'The advantage of the improvements based methodology is that this method provides a
direct tie to the local govemrrlent's corriprehensive plan with the adoption of a list of
planned capital improvements as part of those comprehensive plans.' In the improve-
ments based methodology, the list of capital improvements used in the calculation of
the cost~component is usually the list of improvements included in the five year or long-
er capital improvement program. This methodology gives the` development community
assurance that the impact fees they pay'are being spent on the specific improvements
that were used to calculate the impact fee. When the local government changes the list
of capital improvements, the resulting impact fee should be recalculated using the new
lis't~of capital improvements.` Finally, similar to ordinances for consumption based im-
pact fees, improvements based impact fee ordinances also include provisions that tie the
need for and benefit of impact fees to `projects included in the Iocal'governments capital
improveiilents program and comprehensive plan,capital improvements element.
' ~ An example of ari improvements based calculation would be:
• Road improvements needed over 5 years to accommodate anticipated develop-
ment,
? Road improvement 1 ~ $ 5,000,000
? ; ..Road improvement 2 $25,000,000
? Road improvement 3 $25,000,000
? Road improvement 4 $ 5,000.000
Total improvements. ~ $60,000,000
• New .development over 5 years,10,000 homes
• Improvernent'costpey home, $6,000.
2008 Impact Fee Update - 5 -
This simplified improvements example came out with the same answer as .the simpli-
feed consumption example. In a perfect world this would be the case. However, it is
very common for there to be different answers resulting from the two approaches.
Both the improvements and consumption based methodologies are commonly used and have
been judicially reviewed in Florida. Dunedin's water and sewer chazges were improvements
based while. Broward's parks fee;Palm Beagh County's roads fees, and St Johns County's
school fees were all consumption based. Either can provide a viable basis for impact fees that
meet the standards of nexus and proportionality recognized. in Florida.
B. $t Lucie County Impact Fee Program.
St. Lucie County was one of the first counties in Florida to adopt impact fees. In 1986 the
County adopted road impact fees while park & recreation, public buildings, law enforcement,
fire protection, public libraries and public education impact fees followed later. These impact
fees all followed the consumption'based approach. The county's road fee began with the
specification of a quantitative level of service, 7,500 vehicles per lane-mile pdr day. 'I'lte
generalized cost of providing a unit of road, expressed as a cost per lane-mile was used to
project the cost of maintaining the adopted level of service. The advantage of the County's
cansumption based approach has been the flexibility given to the County to meet road
.improvement needs as they became identified. St Lucie County has expressed a desire fo move
from the general consumption approach to impact fees to the more specif
c improvements
approach. Many other. local governments are moving in the same direction, especially since the
concurrently requirements of 20051egislation have become effective.3 In order to.~hift'to an
improvements based system of impact fees, a set of specific improvements must be,developed
and then used to calculate the cost of providing infrastructure to new development..,, .
St Lucie County has implemented a system of countywide development impact fees. These fees are;
• ~ Roads,
• Parks and recreation,
• Public buildings, .
• Law enforcement {sheriff),
• Fire protection and EMS,
• Public libraries, and
• Public education.
At present all of these impact fees are consumption based. The County's direction is to develop

This program was designed to assess a portion of the cost of infrastructure on the development creating
the need for infrastructure improvements. The roads, park & recreation, public building and law
enforcement impact fee receipts were shared between the county and the City of Port St Lucie. The City
of Port St Lucie has subsequently adopted its. own impact fees and the existing distribution of impact
fees is: ~ . .

Port St Lucie constituted 17% of total county population. By 2000 this percentage had risen to
4b% and by 2007; it was 57% of the total county population. Between 1.980 and 2007 54% of
total county population growth occurred within the City- of Port St Lucie., .It follows that 54%
of the demand ,for countywide infrastructure improvements has been from the City of .Port St •
Lucie. It is anticipated .that "the. percentage of total county growth from Port St Lucie will
remain at approximately 5 5 ~ • . ~ ,

Employment Growth .
Population growth by in-migration has been the dominant factor within St Lucie County for the
recent past and is projected to continue that,dominance in the foreseeable future. Population
growth stimulates employment first in demand for homes'and then in demand for suppoxting
services. As demand and the labor force~reach threshold size, industrial activities will begin to
• occur both as import substitution and as export activities.

Table II-5 shows the growth in employment by industry: The largest number of new jobs is
expected to be .iri construction with 5,828 a This is closely. followed by health care with 5,613.
The greatest~rate•of growth is for transportation and warehousing at 18%~per.year. The trend
for employment is projected at 4.8°/d per year. The projected growth ofpopulation is 4.6%,
indicating that the St Lucie County economy is evolving, most likely by import substitution.
The data would suggest that distributional functions (warehousing) will increasingly be
performed within the county as the county population and market reach critical minimum
a These projections accept that the current reduced state of the construction industry is
temporary.

economic thresholds for such activities. This would also appear to be the case for financial,
administrative, and managerial services. Since these projections were made the nation, the
state and St Lucie County have entered an economic "respite." Such ups-and-downs are
normal and experience from the past suggests that the down period tends to be counteracted by
the following period of recovery. The employment growth shown in Table II-5 is fora 15 year
period; from 1998 to the present and then projected to 2012. Attempting to project the precise
timing bf economic cycles has eluded all that have attempted it: Table II~7 aild employment
data are relying ion the underlying~trend rather than attempting to set outprecise forecasts.
While employment data are themselves interesting, they are included herein' in order to project
the demand for non-residential development.

III. Roads
The need for road improvements is one of the most important and most expensive facing a
growing community. St Lucie County has prepared a Capital improvement Program (CIP)
showing the roads that will need improvement in order to accommodate the anticipated
growth. This program, is summarized in Table III-1.. The expansion projects are identified
by geographic zone, 1 through 4. Zones 3 and 4 are the Port St Lucie area.
The quantity of development to be accommodated was set out above in Table II-7. The
number of vehicular;trigs associated with a new unit of $evelopment is shown in Table III-
2. Also in Table III-2~ are average trip lengths. The trip gener`
ation rates are a combination
of trip rates prepared for St. Lucie County by Kimley-Horn and Associates and the Institute
of Transportation Engineering,, Trip Generation, 7`~ edition; 2003: Trip lengths. are from the
National Household Transportation Survey and then adjusted to, St Lucie County condi- .
tions. The trip rates have been adjusted to correct for double counting and for multi-
purpose or pass-by trips. ,

The net trip gerieratior~ rate times the trip length will equal Vehiculaz-Miles of Travel per day,
which will be used to apportion improvement costs. The calculation of VMT for the average
residence is:
Average Residential Trip, Rate 5.24 per day
Trip Rate at 50% . 2.62 per day
Trip Length - 7.57 miles
VMT per Day 19.84.
Multiplying the travel parameters in Table III-2 times the growth parameters in Table II-7 yields
net additional vehicular miles of travel on St Lucie County roads to 2012. These calculations yield
new additional vehicular miles of travel attributable to new development of 491,5$9 per day.

Table III-4 summarizes the improvement costs and expresses those costs per-VMT. How-
ever, note should be taken of that fact that travel from existing households has. been auto-
nomously increasing over time, The National Household Transportation Survey found that
travel per household has been increasing at 1.68% per year (Bureau of Transportation
2008 Impact Pee Update _ 20 _ •
Statistics, "2001 NHTS Summary of Travel Trends," page 9). It is unlikely that this his-
• tonic rate will continue in light of the precipitously higher costs of driving. Nevertheless,
all indications are that travel per household will continue to increase, albeit at a lesser rate.
This analysis will increase autonomous household travel at 1 % per year: This means that
4.06% of the growth improvement Cdsts shown in Table III-1 are attributable to existing
development. This adjustment is made in Table III-4. The net cost per vehicular mile of travel
per day is $97.01. This -cost can be multiplied by VMT per unit of development to arrive at a net
road cost per unit of development. This is shown in Table III-5.

The data presented in Table III-1 provide a convenient opportunity to update the road impact
fees applicable to Hutchinson Island. Several studies have shown that travel parameters for
new development on Hutchinson Island are different from those of the mainland. For that
reason St Lucie County has maintained, three separate impact fee schedules for the island; one
for North Island, one for. South Island and one for Ft Pierce Island. Following are updated road
impact fee schedules for.the three island zones that apply the cost per VMT to'the unique travel
characteristics of the island's zones.

Public Buildings
Table IV-1 shows the proposed capacity enhancements to countywide public buildings.
Portions (8.5%) of the public building improvements are existing deficiencies. The re-
mainder will accommodate new development with adequate public buildings.
The new development that will be accommodated was shown above in Table II-7. Table
N-2 summarizes the growth accommodating improvements shown in Table N-1 and
calculates a cost per new person.
~St Lucie County has issued bonds to fund the Court House, Clerk of the Courts building,
. and Jail improvements. These facilities are designed to serve the: future as well as the
existing population of St Lucie County. Therefore a portion of future debt service pay-
ments are factored into.the public buildings impact fees. The future debt service payments .
have been discounted back to present value at a. irate of 4.5%. This is in recognition of the
lower present value of fitture payments.

Cost er Ca ita ~ $691.71
The per capita cost for additional public buildings is $691.71. Almost 50% of this cost is
attributable to the need for expansion of the jail. This cost is spread over both the residen-
' tial and non-residential sectors by means of functional population. Because impact fees are
land development regulations, the requirement to -pay impact fees is tied to a~ land use
approval. Thus it is necessary to identify the relationship between land development and
public buildings. The St Lucie County population that is sexved by public iuildings in-
cludespeople in their homes, employees at work, customers at places of business, and
drivers on the roads. To a great extent, these are the same people but in different locations. _
That is why the. total growth cost is ~di.videci by the new population. But the total per capita
' cost is allocated between the residential and non-residential sectors based on their time
spent at various uses of land.
The total population of St Lucie County is 281,843. This-is also the functional population.
.The residents are assigned individual land uses based on the total number of people present
'at various land uses and the amount of time that they spend there. The function populations
by land use for St Lucie Count are shown in Table IV-3. ~ ~ '

I. Im act Fees
p
A. Impact Fees in Florida
While there is adopted impact fee legislation in Florida;' there is no general enabling
act that sets standards 'for. the preparation and use of impact fees. Rather,. impact
fees. evolved through Florida's ~ courts starting in the late 1960's and ultimately were
recognized as being within a local government's home rule authority: This method of
evolution. was perhaps the only option since Florida cities and counties were exploring
new issues of governance and government finance following the adoption of the new
constitution in 1968, which granted broad home rule authority while requiring authori-
zation by. general.law`for.the imposition of taxes. The body of law that came out of this
evolutionary process clearly established that:
. • : ~ lmpact Fees are permissible as exercise of the police powers;
lmpact fees cannot exceed a pro rata shale of the reasonably anticpated costs
of expanding facilities required to serve new development;
Impact fees cannot be• imposed or structured to provide a "windfall to existing
residents; and ,
~ Impact fees must satisfy the dual rational nexus between the need for facility
improvements and new development.
The Florida Supreme Court, beginning with Contractors- and Builders Association of
Pinellas County v City Of Dunedin, 329 So. 2d 314 (Fla. 1976), dealt fast with the
conditions, under which irytpact fees may be utilized and then with the. amounts that
may.: be charged. as impact fees.. In Dunedin the Florida Supreme Court wrote:
Raising expansion capital by setting connection charges, which do not ex-
ceed a pro rata share of reasonably anticipated costs of expansion, is per-
missible where expansior is reasonably required, if use of the money col-
lected is limited to meeting the_ costs of expansion. Users `who benefit es-
~pecially, not~.from the maintenance of the system, .but .by the. extension of
the system ...should. bear the cost of that .extension." (citations omitted)
The Dunedin court also makes clear that such charges, now known as impact fees,
are. not unlimited. Extending their rationale: .
~ See 163..31801, Florida Statufes.
2009 Impact Fee Update -March 30, 2009 - 2 -
[T]he cost of new facilities should be borne by new users to the extent new
use requires new facilities, but only to that extent. When new facilities
must be built in any event, looking only to new users for necessary capital
gives old users a windfall at the expense of new users.
New users can be held responsible only for the costs attributable to new use and not
far other costs, especially any charge that would yield a "windfal!" to the existing
community.
Dunedin was a case involving a municipally owned water and sewer utility. It fell to
Hollywood Inc. v Broward Counfy, 431 So.2d 606 (Fla. ~4~' DCA 1983) to deal with the
application of the Dunedin logic to parks, a facility that the Florida cities of Gulf
Breeze, Maitland, and Hollywood unsuccessfully tried to fund with' development
charges: In Hollywood Inc. the court wrote:
[Wje discern the general legal principle that reasonable dedication or im-
.pact fee requirements ire permissible so long as they offset needs suffi-
cienfly attributable to the subdivision and so long: as the funds collected
are sufficiently earmarked for the. substantial benefit of the subdivision
residents. in order to satisfy these requirements, the local government
must demonstrate .a reasonable connection, or rational nexus; -between
the .need for additional. capital facilities and the growth in population gen-
~erated by the subdivision. In addition, the govemment must show a rea-
sonable connection, or rational nexus, between the expenditures of the
funds collected and the benefits accruing to the subdivision. In'order to
satisfy this latter requirement, the ordinance must specifically earmark the
.funds collected for use in acquiring capital facilities to benefit the new res-
idents. .
. ~ ,.The Hollywood,.lnc..Court provides the .principles of the Dual Rational Nexus Test.
..Specifically, that:
' ~ • ' The local govemment must demonstrate a reasonable connection, ~ or rational
nexus, between the'~need for additional capital facilities and the growth gener-
ated by the development being charged the impact fees, and
The.governmerit must specifically earmark the. funds collected for use in ac-
quiring capital facilities to benefit the development charged the impact fees.
The paramount issue with respect to impact fees is nexus; There must be a nexus2
between new development and the need.#o expand infrastructure. The establishment
of a~ nexus begins with the levels of service that are set out in the comprehensive plan.
The second crucial issue is the identification of a pro rata share of the cost of
2 In Nollan v California Coastal Commission (107 S. Ct. 3141, 1987}, Justice Scalia characterized a
nexus as "essential.°
2009 Impact Fee Update -March 30, 2009 - 3 -
expanding that infrastructure. This is to be accomplished in the consultant's report.
During the 2006 session, an act was passed by the Florida Legislature and signed into
law by the Governor that dealt with impact fees 3 ,The only portions of this act that deal
with the calculation of impact fees are the requirements that calculation of impact fees
be based on the most recent and localized data.
.;The.general criteria for impact.fees in Florida are;
• Impact fees adopted must be based upon the establishment of a nexus be-
tween new development and the need to expand infrastructure;
. • .The calculation of .impact fees must use the most, recent .and localized data;
and
• The resulting impact .fees may be no more than a pro rata .share of the rea-
sonablyanticipated cost of expanding that infrastructure.
Iri Florida .there are two general types of impact fee methodologies; consumption
based and .improvements based.
Consumption Based. The consumption based. (also knpwn as "standards
. based"}methodology-.calculates impact fees based on the value of.public infra-
. ~ ~ ~ structure consumed per unit of~land use: The value of the,public infrastructure
is usually developed by calculating the replacement cost of the existing public
capital infrastructure: This value is then related to a facility.based standard
~ such as fire.stations per 1000 population, acres of parks .per 1000 population,
library or:other building square #ootages per 1000 population, etc.
~ The major.advantage.of the consumption based approach is the flexibility pro-
. vlded to the: local government. in meeting the need for infrastructure improve-
menu. ~ Specifically; ,a government that uses a consumption based impact fee
can develop its capital -improvement •prograrn to ~inGlude projects that directly
respond to where growth and the need for the public infrastructure occurs. The
capital improvement program list of improvements is reviewed annually and
. ~ that list can change as growth patterns change,. resulting .in. new project priori-
ties. Generally, these changes only occur.in, the out years of~the capital im-
provement; program. Finally, it should. be noted that ordinances that implement
consumption based impactfees~generally include a provision.that ties the need
.for and benefit of impact:fees to projects that must be included in the local gov-
ernment's.capital improvements program and comprehensive plan capital im-
provements element.
An example of a consumption based calculation would be:
3~"The Florida Impact Fee Act," 163.31'801, Florida Statute§. .
2009 Impact Fee Update -March 30, 2009 - 4 -
• Average~cost of roads per lane-mile is $1,500,000
. . • Level of service for roads per lane-mile is 7,500 vehicles per day
• Road cost per vehicle per lane-mile is $200
• Lane-miles per vehicle per day is 15 and road cost per vehicle is $3,000
• :Vehicles per dwelling is 2; so road cost per dwelling in $6,000.
' ~ These calculations are done without reference' to any specific road or improve-
ments.
Improvements Based. The improvements based {also known as "needs
based") methodology charges new development based on a specific set of
capital improvement projects as setout in a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
,This approach is usually based on a long-range master plan that includes a list
of future projects that are determined to be necessary to accommodate existing
and future growth at the adopted lave! of service. Under the improvements
based approach, an analysis is usually made of the impact of any existing defi-
' - ciencies and an adjustment is made° to account for deficiencies existing at the
beginning of the planning period to assure that the cost of correcting those de-
ficiencies is~not shifted to new~development:. However, generally, no adjust-
ment is made for excess capacity built as part of~the improvements lis# that is
available at the end of the planning periotl, since the improvements driven ap-
proach did riot charge for the existing excess~capacity that is available at the
_ start of the planning period and that is consumed by new development. The
implicit or explicit a$sumption is that there may~be'excess capacity in every in-
frastructure system; and as~long as~the~amount or proportion of excess capac-
ity at the end of the planning period is reasonably similar to what was there at
~ the beginning, there is no need to make adjustments for excess capacity,
The advantage of the improvements based methodology is that it provides a di-
rect tie to the local government's comprehensive plan with the adoption of a list
` of planned capital irriprovements~ as part of those comprehensive plans. In the
improvements based methodology, the list of capital improvements used in the
calculation of the cost component.is usually the list of~improvements included in
the five year or longer capital improvement program. This methodology gives
the development~community assurance that the impact fees they pay are being
spent on the speafic improvements under which the impact fee was calculated.
When the local government changes the list of capital improvements, the re-
sulting impact fee should be fecalculated using the new list of capital improve-
ments. Finally, similar to ordinances for consumption based impact fees, im-
provements based impact fee ordinances also include provisions that tie the
2009 Impact Fee Update -March 30, 2009 - 5 -
.need for and benefit of impact fees to projects included in the local govern-
. ~ i`nents capital improvements program and:comprehensive plan capital im-
provements element. .
An example of an improvements based calculation would.be:
• Road improvements needed over 5 years to accommodate anticipated
development,
? Road improvement 1 ~ $ 5,000,000
? Road improvement 2 ~ $25,000,000
? Road improvement 3 ~ , - ~ $25,000,000
? Road improvement 4 ~ 5:000,000
Total improvements ~ . $60,000,000
• New development over 5 years, 10,000 homes
• :Improvement cost;per home, $6,000. .
This simplified improvements example came out with the same answer as the
simplified consumption ~ex~mple. In a perfect world this would be the case.
However, it is very common for there to be different answers resulting from the
two approaches.
Both the improvements and consumption based methodologies are commonly used
` and ~ have been judicially reviewed in Florida. Dunedin's water and sewer charges
were improvements based while Broward's parks fees, Palm Beach County's roads
fees, and .St Johns County's school fees were all consumption based. Either can
provide a viable basis for impact fees that meet the standards of nexus and propor-
_ tional~ty recognized in Florida..
B. St Lucie County Impact Fee Program.
St. Lucie County was one of the first counties in Florida to adopt impact fees. In 1986
the County adopted~road impact fees-while park & recreation, public buildings, law
enforcement, fire protection, public libraries, and public education impact~fees followed
later: These impact fees all followed the consumption based approach. The county's
road fee began with the specification of a quantitative level of service, 7,500 vehicles
per lane-mile per day. The generalized cost of providing a unit of goad, expressed as
a cost, per lane-mile, was used to project the cost of maintaining the adopted. level of
service. The advantage of the.County's consumption based approach has been the
flexibility given to the County to meet road improvement needs as they became
identified. During 2007-08 St Lucie County considered moving from the general
consumption approach to impact fees to a more specific improvements based
2009 Impact Fee Update -March 30, 2009 - 6 -
approach. This option failed to receive the support of the St Lucie County Local
Planning Agency. Therefore the roads, parks & recreation and public buildings impact
fees set out= herein will return to the consumption based method that had been used in
St Lucie County.
St Lucie County.has implemented a system of countywide development impact fees.
These fees are;
• Roads,
Parks and recreation, ~ ~ •
• Public buildings,
• ~ Law enforcement (sheriff),
Fire protection and EMS,
• Public libraries, and
• Public education...

an economic recession. This is not the first nor will it be the last recession. This
` ' recession is somewhat unique in that it followed 'an unsustainable boom in new
'constriction; the result of which has been a significant inventory of houses for sale.
Growth'has been an important component of Florida's and St Lucie County's econo-
mies. This has been the case for a number of years. History has shown that
economic recovery will follow this recession.. Of course, no one knows when this
recovery will begin or how long it,will take to absorb the existing inventory. Figure 1
shows the population growth, per year by decade for the State of Florida. These data
show that~there have been ups and downs before. and most likely there will be again.
But every down has been followed, by an up. And the up to come is what St Lucie
County must be planning for.

• -II. Roads
The need for road improvements is one of the most important and most expensive
facing a growing community. St Lucie County has prepared a Capital Improve-
ment Program (CIP) showing the roads that will need improvement in order to
accommodate the anticipated growth. This program is summarized in Table If-1.
These proposed road improvements are presented here for the sole. purpose of
calculating a St Lucie County road improvement cost per lane-mile. The relevant
cost is the cost to St Lucie County to expand the arterial and collector road system
by one lane-mile. This is calculated by summing the County's anticipated road
expansion costs and then dividing by the number of additional lane-miles.

St Lucie County trip length data are shown in Table II-2. These data are derived
from the US Department of Transportation's National Household Travel Survey4
(NHTS) and adjusted to St Lucie County conditions. The first adjustment is for
population size. The NHTS found that trip lengths increased with the size of the
population of the jurisdiction. St Lucie County is considered small by the NHTS, so

a reduction of 11.4% in average trip lengths is introduced to adjust to St Lucie
County's size. ~ Additionally, the NHTS reported that trip lengths decline with the
age of the householder; this is due to_ the absence of the work trip among retirees.
The percentage of the population 65 or over for St Lucie County is 19.6%, as con-
trasted with 12.6% for the nation as a wholes This results in a further reduction of
average trip lengths far St Lucie County of 8.4%. These two percentages were
added together and then rounded to 2Q%, which is the reduction in trip length
shown in Table If-2.

In addition to lengths of trips, Table II-2 shows average trip length by land use and
trip length reduction factors. Recent data have revealed that many high volume
land uses experience shorter trip lengths than previously believed. There are four
types of these trips; convenience, neighborhood, local and community. These

The capacity of a lane of roadway to ,accommodate traffic is shown in Table I I-3.
At St Lucie County's adopted level of service, each lane of roadway can accom-
modate 8,250 vehicles per day.

There are funds to build roads. These funds, motor fuel taxes, are shown in Table II-4.
The federal and state motor fuel, tax receipts are allocated to St Lucie County so they are
incorporated into the funding'analysis. Additionally, St Lucie County has sold bonds to
fund road expansions. The debt service of this debt has been calculated as a motor fuel
tax equivalent and it too in incorporated into the funding analysis. The net result is an
equivalent of 28.90 of motor fuel taxes available to expand the road system of St Lucie
' ~ ' County. A fleet-wide miles per gallon of 16.92 is used ~to calculate motor fuel consumption
• by lane,:use. This consumption by land use is multiplied by $Q.289 to project annual capital
• ,payments towards the: St I_ucie,County road system. This annual:amount is capitalized at
:4.25% for 25 years to establish the credit that will be subtracted,from road costs.

Table Il-5 .through ~II=8 show the calculation of total and net road costs by land use.
This~is done by multiplying the number of vehicular trips per day by the average
trip length. This is reduced to one-half to account for the fact that both the begin-
ning of the trip and the end of the trip are included in the number of trips. The
result is then multiplied by the percentage of those vehicular trips tha# are new as
distinct from existing trips that were "passing-by." The final number is the number
of attributable miles of vehicular travel per day by land use. This miles of travel is
divided by the capacity of a lane of road to accommodate travel to get the number
of lane-miles. of roadway needed to accommodate the travel from that land use.
The cost is the result of multiplying the needed lane-miles by the cost per lane-
mile.
Table II-5a shows the credit for revenues paid, both annual and capitalized, and
the resulting net cost: The recalculated and update cost is contrasted with the
existing impact fee; with the percentage change also shown.

Table III-1 shows the inventory of St Lucie County public buildings. This table also
shows the size of the buildings, the replacement cost,. and the value of contents.
These data show a cost per square foot or floor area of $164.28. This is within a

buildings. Data from Engineering New Record report a per foot construction cost
for office buildings of $177.16 in 2008 and $151.56 for 2009.8 This may be con-
trasted with $138.45 for St Luae County.
The level of service provided is 3.70 square #eet of floor area per capita. It should
be kept in mind that this number includes court and correction facilities in addition
to the general administrative spaces. The cost per capita is $608.46. However, St
Lucie County has $88 million in outstanding public buildings debt. New develop-
ments will pay to service and retire this debt. Thus, outstanding debt is subtracted
from the total value to get a net of $84,688,220. This is $303.16. This cost will be
used to establish net costs and recommended impact fees.

The per capita cost for additional public buildings is $303:16. This cost is spread
over both the residential and non-residential sectors` by means of functipnal popu-
lation. Because impact fees are land development regulations, the rdquirement to
pay impact fees is tied to a land use approval. Thus it is necessary to identify the
2009 Impact Fee Update -March 30, 2009 ~ - 36 -
relationship between land development and public buildings. The St Lucie County
population that is served by public buildings includes people in their homes, em-
ployees at work, customers at plact~s of business, arid drivers on the roads. To a
great.extent, these are the same people but in different locations. That Is why the
total,growth cost is divided by the new population. But the total per capita cost is
allocated between the residential and non-residential sectors based on their time
spent at various uses of land.
The total population of St Lucie County in 2009 is 279,51. This is also the func-
tional population. The residents are assigned individual land uses based on the
total number of~people present at various land uses and the amount of time that
.they spend there. The function populations by land use for St Lucie Count are
.shown in Table IV-3.

IV. Parks & Recreation
Table V-1 shows the park & recreational areas of St Lucie County and calculates the
existing level of service of 5.28 acres of all types of parks per 1,000 population. The
. adopted level of service is 5.00 acres of parks per 1,000 population. The appraised
values shown in Table V-1 are those established by the. St Lucie County Property
Appraiser for. the current year (2008}. The vales per acre by #ype of park are estab-
lished in a three step process. First, the average value per.:acre is the sum of the
values by type of park divided by the number of acres of that type of park. Next the
. average value~per acre by type of park.is calculated by dropping the highest and
lowest parcels~in terms of value per acre. The third step is to selected the lower of the
two averages,' acid this value is used the Table V-2.

is subtracted from the value:of parks to arrive at a Citizens' equity of $165,646,040, or
$592.97 per capita. However, the adopted level of service is 5.00 acres per 1,000
population. the net cost per capita at the adopted level of service is $561.70. Tabie
V-3 takes this per capita net figure and applies it to St Lucie County occupancy rates
to arrive at up-dated park impact fees. This update would involve an increase of 185%

WHEREAS, this Agreement is entered into pursuant to authority of Article VIII of
the Florida Constitution, the City of Fort Pierce Charter, and Chapters 125,163,166 and 171,
Florida Statutes (2008).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this
Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the City and the
County agree as follows:
1. Incorporation of Preamble. The Preamble above is true and correct and incorporated
into this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.
2. Establishment of Joint Plnnning Aren. To establish the means and process by which
future annexations and planning activities will be accomplished, the City and the County (the
"Parties") hereby establish n Joint Planning Area (JPA), depicted in Composite Exhibit "A",
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. All areas specif ically delineated,
mapped and referenced in the legend on Composite Exhibit "A" are within the JPA.
3. Limitation on Future Annexations.
A. Within the Joint Plnnning Area, the City and the County agree to the following
criteria on annexation:
1. The City agrees not to annex any property within the Research Park.
The County agrees not to use ns a basis for objecting to annexations adjacent to the
Research Park the fact that the Research Park has not been annexed into the City and such
adjacent properties are not contiguous to the City municipal boundaries.
2. The areas outside the Research Pnrk but inside the FPUA retail service
area, designated on Composite Exhibit "A" as Potential Annexation Aren "A", may be annexed
by the City without the requirement of contiguity with City municipal boundaries.
3. Other areas outside the Research Park and outside the FPUA retail
service area, designated on Composite Exhibit "A" as "Potential Annexation Area "B", are
eligible for annexation by the City with the prior written consent of the County without the
requirement of contiguity with City municipal boundaries.
B. The City and the County agree to develop n schedule of annexation for
properties within Potential Annexation Area "A" and Potential Annexation Aren "B" that
consist of land likely to be developed for urban and economic development purposes under the
term of this Agreement and which are therefore appropriate for annexation by the City.
5:\ATTY\AGREEMNT\INTERLOC\FP-TCRbD Park.wpd Page 3 of 15
C. The City and County agree that the City shall provide notice to the County
within thirty (30) days of receipt of any petition to annex properties within the JPA or
initiation of an annexation ordinance by the City. Included within the notice to the County,
the City shall provide a report to the County showing that the annexation is consistent with
the terms of this Agreement.
4. County Consent to Annexations of Potential Annexation Areas by the City If an
annexation ordinance of the City is adopted under the conditions set forth in this Agreement,
the County will not challenge, administratively, judicially, or otherwise, such annexations by
the City set forth in said annexation ordinance.
5. Land Use. Infrastructure and Environmental Agreements for Potential Annexation
Arens within the Research Pnrk.
A. Process for Incorporating Potential Annexation Arens into CitX
Comprehensive Plan. Future land uses are identified herein and agreed to by the City and
the County for each of the areas within Potential Annexation Area "A" and Potential
Annexation Area "6". These future Innd uses will be examined during the City's
comprehensive plan update pursuant to the Evaluation and Appraisal Report. During the
process to update the City's comprehensive plan, the City and County will agree on future land
use categories and design guidelines for the specific lands in Potential Annexation Area "A"
and Potential Annexation Area "B". The City will adopt the future land uses as an overlay to
its comprehensive plan. Specific policies addressing allocations of acreage, density, and
intensity of development shall be included for each future land use category. If one or more
of the future land uses are not adopted by the City as an overlay, then the Innd uses on the
County's Future Land Use Map as to that parcel(s) shall apply unless another land use category
acceptable to both Parties is adopted. Once in effect, the overlay will serve to govern any
future land use map amendments occurring after annexation. Prior to annexation, the County
will not revise its future land uses to redesignate any parcels in Potential Annexation Area
"A" and Potential Annexation Area "B" to a use incompatible with the designations set forth
in this Agreement or the overlay. The County is under no obligation to change the land use
designations for any parcel in Potential Annexation Area "A" and Potential Annexation Area
"B"
B. Land Development Code Standards; Development Permits: The parties agree
that the County shall issue all development permits within the Research Park and be
responsible for enforcing County code provisions. The City may serve in a consultative role
to the County in the development review process.
