It is the intent of Ada County to evaluate and establish impact fees for EMS facilities. This report presents the methodologies and calculations used to generate current levels of service and maximum supportable impact fees. It is intended to serve as supporting documentation for the evaluation and establishment of impact fees in Ada County. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the County's compliance with Idaho Statutes as authorized by the Idaho Legislature. Consistent with the statutory authorization for development impact fees (Idaho Code 67-8202(1-4)), it is the intent of Ada County to: 1. Collect impact fees to ensure that adequate public facilities are available to serve new growth and development; 2. Promote orderly growth and development by establishing uniform standards by which local governments may require that those who benefit from new growth and development pay a proportionate share of the cost of new public facilities needed to serve new growth and development; 3. Establish minimum standards for the adoption of development impact fee ordinances by government entities; 4. Ensure that those who benefit from new growth and development are required to pay no more than their proportionate share of the cost of public facilities needed to serve new growth and development and to prevent duplicate and ad hoc development requirements; Impact fees are one-time payments used to construct system improvements needed to accommodate new development. An impact fee represents new growth's fair share of capital facility needs. By law, impact fees can only be used for capital improvements, not operating or maintenance costs. Impact fees are subject to legal standards, which require fulfillment of three key elements: need, benefit and proportionality. • First, to justify a fee for public facilities, it must be demonstrated that new development will create a need for capital improvements. • Second, new development must derive a benefit from the payment of the fees (i.e., in the form of public facilities constructed within a reasonable timeframe). • Third, the fee paid by a particular type of development should not exceed its proportional share of the capital cost for system improvements. 1 TischlerBise FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study TischlerBise evaluated possible methodologies and documented appropriate demand indicators by type of development for the levels of service and fees. Local demographic data and improvement costs were used to identify specific capital costs attributable to growth. This report includes summary tables indicating the specific factors, referred to as level of service standards, used to derive the impact fees. The geographic area for the EMS impact fees is countywide.These facilities provide a countywide benefit and are services not provided by the cities within Ada County. IDAHO DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE ENABLING LEGISLATION The Enabling Legislation governs how development fees are calculated for municipalities in Idaho. All requirements of the Idaho Development Impact Fee Act(hereafter referred to as the Idaho Act) have been met in the supporting documentation prepared by TischlerBise. There are four requirements of the Idaho Act that are not common in the development impact fee enabling legislation of other states. This overview offers further clarification of these unique requirements. First, as specified in 67-8204(2) of the Idaho Act, "development impact fees shall be calculated on the basis of levels of service for public facilities . . . applicable to existing development as well as new growth and development." Second, Idaho requires a Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) [see 67-8208]. The CIP requirements are summarized in this report,with detailed documentation provided in the discussion on infrastructure. Third,the Idaho Act also requires documentation of any existing deficiencies in the types of infrastructure to be funded by development impact fees[see 67-8208(1)(a)]. The intent of this requirement is to prevent charging new development to cure existing deficiencies. In the context of development impact fees for Ada County, the term "deficiencies" means a shortage or inadequacy of current system improvements when measured against the levels of service to be applied to new development. It does not mean a shortage or inadequacy when measured against some "hoped for" level of service. TischlerBise used the current infrastructure cost per service unit (i.e., existing standards), or future levels of service where appropriate, multiplied by the projected increase in service units over an appropriate planning timeframe,to yield the cost of growth-related system improvements.The relationship between these three variables can be reduced to a mathematical formula, expressed as A x B = C. In section 67- 8204(16), the Idaho Act simply reorganizes this formula, stating the cost per service unit (i.e., development impact fee) may not exceed the cost of growth-related system improvements divided by the number of projected service units attributable to new development (i.e., A = C _ B). By using existing infrastructure standards to determine the need for growth-related capital improvements, Ada County ensures the same level-of-service standards are applicable to existing and new development. Using existing infrastructure standards also means there are no existing deficiencies in the current system that must be corrected from non-development impact fee funding. 2 TischlerBise FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study Fourth, Idaho requires a proportionate share determination [see 67-8207]. Basically, local government must consider various types of applicable credits and/or other revenues that may reduce the capital costs attributable to new development.The development impact fee methodologies and the cash flow analysis have addressed the need for credits to avoid potential double payment for growth-related infrastructure. SUMMARY OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES METHODOLOGIES AND CREDITS Development impact fees can be calculated by any one of several legitimate methods. The choice of a particular method depends primarily on the service characteristics and planning requirements for each facility type. Each method has advantages and disadvantages in a particular situation,and to some extent can be interchangeable, because each allocates facility costs in proportion to the needs created by development. Reduced to its simplest terms, the process of calculating development impact fees involves two main steps: (1) determining the cost of development-related capital improvements and (2) allocating those costs equitably to various types of development. In practice, though, the calculation of impact fees can become quite complicated because of the many variables involved in defining the relationship between development and the need for facilities. The following paragraphs discuss three basic methods for calculating development impact fees, and how each method can be applied. Cost Recovery or Buy-In Fee Calculation. The rationale for the cost recovery approach is that new development is paying for its share of the useful life and remaining capacity of facilities already built or land already purchased from which new growth will benefit. This methodology is often used for systems that were oversized such as sewer and water facilities. Incremental Expansion Fee Calculation.The incremental expansion method documents the current level of service (LOS)for each type of public facility in both quantitative and qualitative measures, based on an existing service standard (such as park land acres per 1,000 residents). This approach ensures that there are no existing infrastructure deficiencies or surplus capacity in infrastructure. New development is only paying its proportionate share for growth-related infrastructure. An incremental expansion cost method is best suited for public facilities that will be expanded in regular increments, with LOS standards based on current conditions in the community. Plan-Based Fee Calculation. The plan-based method allocates costs for a specified set of improvements to a specified amount of development. Facility plans identify needed improvements, and land use plans identify development. In this method, the total cost of relevant facilities is divided by total demand to calculate a cost per unit of demand. Then, the cost per unit of demand is multiplied by the amount of demand per unit of development (e.g., housing units or square feet of building area) in each category to arrive at a cost per specific unit of development(e.g., single family detached unit). 3 TischlerBise FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study Credits. Regardless of the methodology, a consideration of "credits" is integral to the development of a legally valid impact fee methodology. There are two types of "credits," each with specific and distinct characteristics, but both of which should be addressed in the calculation of development impact fees.The first is a credit due to possible double payment situations.This could occur when contributions are made by the property owner toward the capital costs of the public facility covered by the impact fee. This type of credit is integrated into the impact fee calculation.The second is a credit toward the payment of a fee for dedication of public sites or improvements provided by the developer and for which the facility fee is imposed. This type of credit is addressed in the administration and implementation of a facility fee program. FEE METHODOLOGIES Of the fee methodologies discussed above, the incremental expansion method and the cost recovery method are used to calculate EMS impact fees for Ada County. Where capacity is sufficient to serve current demand the incremental expansion method documents the current Level of Service(LOS)for each type of public facility. While the cost of the impact fee study is captured through the cost recovery method. Additionally, Ada County anticipates working with the cities to collect the EMS impact fee countywide. The following table summarizes the method(s) used to derive the impact fee for each type of public facility in Ada County. Figure 1.

The County may adopt fees that are less than the amounts shown. However,a reduction in impact fee revenue will necessitate an increase in other revenues, a decrease in planned capital expenditures, and/or a decrease in levels of service. The fees for residential development are to be assessed per housing unit based on type. For nonresidential development, the fees are assessed per square foot of floor area (for illustrative purposes the nonresidential fee is listed per 1,000 square feet of development). Nonresidential development categories are consistent with the terminology and definitions contained in the reference book,Trip Generation 111n Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. These definitions are provided in the Appendix A. Land Use Definitions. Importantly, the Ada County Paramedics provide a countywide service and benefit. Thus, the impact fee study has calculated the maximum supportable fee based on a countywide level of service. In this case, Figure 4 lists the maximum amounts for all development within Ada County.

This report projects revenue and fees based on 10- year forecast in an effort to provide the public and elected officials with illustrative guidance of probable growth demands based on current trends however, per Idaho Code, it is expected that an update to all Capital Improvement Plans included in this study will occur within five years. FUNDING SOURCES FOR CURRENT DEFICIENCIES The majority of the CIP relates to the construction of five new stations, followed by new apparatus, acquiring land for future stations, and new equipment. In addition, it is estimated that$1,000,000 will be required for maintenance and repair of existing facilities over the next five years. Because replacement and addressing existing deficiencies are not eligible to be funded with impact fees, these costs will need to be funded by other sources, such as property taxes, in accordance with Idaho Code 67-8207(iv)(2)(h). The Board of Ada County Commissioners retain discretion and authority to fund deficiencies through the county's annual CIP budget process, accumulate savings annually in a construction fund, budget annually for one-time projects using unspent fund balance, or through the deferred maintenance budget annually appropriated to the Operations Department for these sorts of expenses. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN The EMS development impact fee is based on the existing level of service provided for EMS facilities.The development impact fee is calculated for residential and nonresidential development. Based on the 10- year growth projections,the following infrastructure is projected over the next ten years: • 12,215 square feet of new facility • 1.59 new acres of land for facilities • 6.0 new vehicle units • 41.9 new equipment units • $10,533,000 total cost to Ada County The projected demand is consistent with the Ada County EMS expansion plans.Currently,the department is exploring options for new stations and ambulances and will need more radios for staff hired to occupy the new stations over the next ten years. These projections are consistent with the EMS departments Capital Improvement Plan shown in Figure 7. 9 TischlerBise FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study Figure 7.

Currently,there are no dedicated revenues being collected by the County to fund growth-related projects for the infrastructure included in this study. Furthermore,the maximum supportable impact fees are constructed to offset the growth-related capital costs to the County for EMS facilities. Evidence is given in the specific chapters of this report that the projected capital costs from new development will be offset by the development impact fees collection as long as the program is collected in the entire service area. Thus, no credits are needed in the impact fee calculation to offset double collection for growth-related capital costs. 10 TischlerBise FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE ANALYSIS The EMS Development Impact Fee is based on the cost per service unit method specified in Idaho Code 67-8204(16), also referred to as the incremental expansion method elsewhere in this report. The EMS components included in the impact fee analysis are: • EMS facilities • EMS land • EMS vehicles • EMS equipment • Share of the development impact fee study The residential portion of the fee is derived from the product of persons per housing unit by housing type multiplied by the net capital cost per person. To calculate nonresidential development impact fees, nonresidential vehicle trips are used as the demand indicator. Trip generation rates are highest for commercial developments, such as shopping centers, and lowest for industrial development. Office and institutional land uses trip rates fall between the other two categories. This ranking of trip rates is consistent with the relative demand for EMS facilities from nonresidential development and thus are the best demand indicators. Other possible nonresidential demand indicators, such as employment or floor area, do not accurately reflect the demand for service. If employees per thousand square feet were used as the demand indicator, EMS Development Impact Fees would be too high for office and institutional development. If floor area were used as the demand indicator, the development impact fees would be too high for industrial development. (See the Appendix for further discussion on trip rates and calculations.) Specified in Idaho Code 67-8207(2), local governments must consider historical,available, and alternative sources of funding for system improvements. Currently, there are no dedicated revenues being collected by the County to fund growth-related projects for EMS facilities. Furthermore,the maximum supportable impact fees are constructed to offset all growth-related capital costs for EMS facilities. Evidence is given in this chapter that the projected capital costs from new development will be entirely offset by the development impact fees. Thus, no general tax dollars are assumed to be used to fund growth-related capital costs, requiring no further revenue credits. 11 TischlerBise FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study COST ALLOCATION FOR EMS INFRASTRUCTURE Both residential and nonresidential developments increase the demand for EMS services and facilities.To calculate the proportional share between residential and nonresidential demand, calls for service data from the Ada County Paramedics is analyzed. Shown at the top of Figure 8, 54 percent of calls are to residential locations, 23 percent to nonresidential locations, and 23 percent are classified as traffic calls. Base year vehicle trips are used to assign traffic calls to residential and nonresidential land uses. This results in 4,534 additional residential calls (1,138,874 residential vehicle trips / 2,087,130 total vehicle trips x 8,310 traffic calls for service) and 3,775 additional nonresidential calls (948,256 nonresidential vehicle trips/2,087,130 total vehicle trips x 8,310 traffic calls for service). After this adjustment 67 percent of calls are attributed to residential development and 33 percent are attributed to nonresidential development.These percentages are used to attribute facilities to respective demand units. Later in Appendix C, Figure 43 shows a call volume heat map to indicate areas of higher demand.

EMS FACILITIES Listed in Figure 9, there is a total of 63,229 square feet occupied by the Ada County Paramedics. The proportionate share between residential and nonresidential demand of the facilities is found by applying the calls for service data percentages.As a result,42,079 square feet are attributed to residential demand and 21,150 square feet is attributed to nonresidential demand. The current level of service is found by comparing the attributed square footage to the base year population and nonresidential vehicles trips.As a result,there is 77.3 square feet per 1,000 residents and 22.3 square feet per 1,000 vehicles trips. The anticipated construction cost of a new station ($581 per square foot) is combined with the current levels of service to find the capital cost per demand unit. This results in a cost of$44.91 per person and $12.96 per vehicle trip (77.3 square feet per 1,000 persons x$581 per square foot=$44.91 per person). Figure 9.

Furthermore, the maximum supportable impact fees are constructed to offset growth- related capital costs for facilities. Evidence is given in this chapter that the growth-related projected capital costs from new development will be almost entirely offset by the development impact fees. As a result, no revenue credit is necessary in the impact fee calculation. 20 TischlerBise FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study EMS INPUT VARIABLES AND DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES Figure 18 provides a summary of the input variables (described in the chapter sections above) used to calculate the net cost per person and vehicle trip. The residential EMS Development Impact Fees are the product of persons per housing unit by type of dwelling unit multiplied by the total net capital cost per person.The nonresidential fees are the product of trips per 1,000 square feet multiplied by the net capital cost per nonresidential vehicle trip. The fees represent the highest supportable amount for each type of applicable land use and represent new growth's fair share of the cost for capital facilities.The County may adopt fees that are less than the amounts shown. However, a reduction in impact fee revenue will necessitate an increase in other revenues, a decrease in planned capital expenditures, and/or a decrease in levels of service. Figure 18.

The cash flow projections are based on the assumptions detailed in this chapter and the development projections discussed in Appendix B. The summary provides an indication of the impact fee revenue generated by new development. Shown at the bottom of the figure, the maximum supportable EMS impact fee is estimated to generate $10.5 million in revenue while there is a growth-related cost of $10.5 million. Thus, the impact fees offset all growth-related capital costs. Importantly,the level of service has included demand from within the cities of Ada County.To ensure that the County captures the full potential revenue of the impact fees an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) is necessary for the Cities to collect the County impact fees on its behalf. Those revenues would be remitted to the County periodically. In the case there are no IGAs, the County will collect $1 million in unincorporated areas (9.6 percent of the countywide growth-related capital costs). Figure 19.

The fees do not exceed a proportionate share of the costs incurred or to be incurred by the County in the provision of system improvements to serve new development. The County will fund non-growth-related improvements with non-development impact fee funds as it has in the past. Specified in the Idaho Development Impact Fee Act(Idaho Code 67-8207),several factors must be evaluated in the development impact fee study and are discussed below. 1) The development impact fees for Ada County are based on new growth's share of the costs of previously built projects along with planned public facilities as provided by Ada County. Projects are included in the County's capital improvements plan and will be included in annual capital budgets. 2) TischlerBise estimated development impact fee revenue based on the maximum supportable development impact fees for the one,countywide service area; results are shown in the cash flow analyses in this report. Development impact fee revenue will entirely fund growth-related improvements less funding from other sources (i.e., federal and state grants). 3) TischlerBise has evaluated the extent to which new development may contribute to the cost of public facilities. 4) The relative extent to which properties will make future contributions to the cost of existing public facilities has also been evaluated in regards to existing debt. Outstanding debt for growth's portion of already constructed facilities will be paid from development impact fee revenue, therefore a future revenue credit is not necessary. 5) The County will evaluate the extent to which newly developed properties are entitled to a credit for system improvements that have been provided by property owners or developers.These"site- specific" credits will be available for system improvements identified in the annual capital budget and long-term Capital Improvements Plans. Administrative procedures for site-specific credits should be addressed in the development impact fee ordinance. 6) Extraordinary costs, if any, in servicing newly developed properties should be addressed through administrative procedures that allow independent studies to be submitted to the County. These procedures should be addressed in the development impact fee ordinance. One service area represented by Ada County is appropriate for the fees herein. 7) The time-price differential inherent in fair comparisons of amounts paid at different times has been addressed. All costs in the development impact fee calculations are given in current dollars with no assumed inflation rate over time. Necessary cost adjustments can be made as part of the annual evaluation and update of development impact fees. 23 TischlerBise FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study IMPLEMENTATIONADMINISTRATION The Idaho Act requires jurisdictions to form a Development Impact Fee Advisory Committee. The committee must have at least five members with a minimum of two members active in the business of real estate, building, or development.The committee acts in an advisory capacity and is tasked to do the following: • Assist the governmental entity in adopting land use assumptions; • Review the capital improvements plan, and proposed amendments, and file written comments; • Monitor and evaluate implementation of the capital improvements plan; • File periodic reports, at least annually, with respect to the capital improvements plan and report to the governmental entity any perceived inequities in implementing the plan or imposing the development impact fees; and • Advise the governmental entity of the need to update or revise land use assumptions,the capital improvements plan, and development impact fees. Per the above, the County formed a Development Impact Fee Advisory Committee (DIFAC). TischlerBise and County staff met with the DIFAC during the process and provided information on land use assumptions, level of service and cost assumptions, and draft development impact fee schedules. This report reflects comments and feedback received from the DIFAC. The County must develop and adopt a capital improvements plan (CIP)that includes those improvements for which fees were developed. The Idaho Act defines a capital improvement as an "improvement with a useful life of ten years or more, by new construction or other action,which increases the service capacity of a public facility." Requirements for the CIP are outlined in Idaho Code 67-8208. Certain procedural requirements must be followed for adoption of the CIP and the development impact fee ordinance. Requirements are described in detail in Idaho Code 67-8206.The County has a CIP that meets the above requirements. TischlerBise recommends that development impact fees be updated annually to reflect recent data. One approach is to adjust for inflation in construction costs by means of an index like the RSMeans or Engineering News Record (ENR).This index can be applied against the calculated development impact fee. If cost estimates change significantly the County should evaluate an adjustment to the CIP and development impact fees. Idaho's enabling legislation requires an annual development impact fees report that accounts for fees collected and spent during the preceding year(Idaho Code 67-8210). Development impact fees must be deposited in interest-bearing accounts earmarked for the associated capital facilities as outlined in capital improvements plans.Also,fees must be spent within eight years of when they are collected (on a first in, first out basis) unless the local governmental entity identifies in writing (a) a reasonable cause why the 24 TischlerBise FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study fees should be held longer than eight years;and (b)an anticipated date by which the fees will be expended but in no event greater than eleven years from the date they were collected. Credits must be provided for in accordance with Idaho Code Section 67-8209 regarding site-specific credits or developer reimbursements for system improvements that have been included in the development impact fee calculations. Project improvements normally required as part of the development approval process are not eligible for credits against development impact fees. Specific policies and procedures related to site-specific credits or developer reimbursements for system improvements should be addressed in the ordinance that establishes the County's fees. The general concept is that developers may be eligible for site-specific credits or reimbursements only if they provide system improvements that have been included in CIP and development impact fee calculations. If a developer constructs a system improvement that was included in the fee calculations, it is necessary to either reimburse the developer or provide a credit against the fees in the area that benefits from the system improvement.The latter option is more difficult to administer because it creates unique fees for specific geographic areas. Based on TischlerBise's experience, it is better for a reimbursement agreement to be established with the developer that constructs a system improvement. For example, if a developer elects to construct a system improvement, then a reimbursement agreement can be established to payback the developer from future development impact fee revenue. The reimbursement agreement should be based on the actual documented cost of the system improvement, if less than the amount shown in the CIP. However,the reimbursement should not exceed the CIP amount that has been used in the development impact fee calculations. 25 TischlerBise FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study APPENDixA. LAND USE DEFINITIONS RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT As discussed below, residential development categories are based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey.Ada County will collect impact fees from all new residential units. One-time impact fees are determined by the number of residential units. Single Family Units: 1. Single family detached is a one-unit structure detached from any other house, that is, with open space on all four sides. Such structures are considered detached even if they have an adjoining shed or garage.A one-family house that contains a business is considered detached as long as the building has open space on all four sides. 2. Single family attached (townhouse) is a one-unit structure that has one or more walls extending from ground to roof separating it from adjoining structures. In row houses (sometimes called townhouses), double houses, or houses attached to nonresidential structures, each house is a separate, attached structure if the dividing or common wall goes from ground to roof. 3. Mobile home includes both occupied and vacant mobile homes, to which no permanent rooms have been added. Mobile homes used only for business purposes or for extra sleeping space and mobile homes for sale on a dealer's lot,at the factory,or in storage are not counted in the housing inventory. Multifamily Units: 1. 2+ units (duplexes and apartments) are units in structures containing two or more housing units, further categorized as units in structures with "2, 3 or 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 19, 20 to 49,and 50 or more apartments." 2. Boat, RV, Van, etc. includes any living quarters occupied as a housing unit that does not fit the other categories(e.g., houseboats, railroad cars,campers,and vans). Recreational vehicles, boats, vans, railroad cars, and the like are included only if they are occupied as a current place of residence. 26 TischlerBise FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CATEGORIES Nonresidential development categories used throughout this study are based on land use classifications from the book Trip Generation (ITE, 2021). A summary description of each development category is provided below. Retail: Establishments primarily selling merchandise, eating/drinking places, and entertainment uses. By way of example, Retail includes shopping centers, supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, automobile dealerships, and movie theaters. Office: Establishments providing management, administrative, professional, or business services. By way of example, Office includes business offices, office parks, and corporate headquarters. Industrial: Establishments primarily engaged in the production and transportation of goods. By way of example, Industrial includes manufacturing plants, trucking companies, warehousing facilities, utility substations, power generation facilities, and telecommunications buildings. Institutional: Public and quasi-public buildings providing educational, social assistance, or religious services. By way of example, Institutional includes schools, universities, churches, daycare facilities, hospitals, health care facilities, and government buildings. 27 TischlerBise FISCAL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study APPENDix B. DEMOGRAPHIC ASSUMPTIONS The data estimates and projections used in the study's calculations are detailed in this section. This chapter includes discussion and findings on: • Household/housing unit size • Current population and housing unit estimates • Residential projections • Current employment and nonresidential floor area estimates • Nonresidential projections • Functional population • Vehicle trip generation and projections POPULATION AND HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS Impact fees often use per capita standards and persons per housing unit or persons per household to derive proportionate share fee amounts. Housing types have varying household sizes and, consequently, a varying demand on County infrastructure and services. Thus, it is important to differentiate between housing types and size. When persons per housing unit (PPHU) is used in the development impact fee calculations, infrastructure standards are derived using year-round population. In contrast, when persons per household (PPHH) is used in the development impact fee calculations, the fee methodology assumes all housing units will be occupied, thus requiring seasonal or peak population to be used when deriving infrastructure standards. Thus,TischlerBise recommends that fees for residential development in Ada County be imposed according to persons per housing units. Based on housing characteristics, TischlerBise recommends using two housing unit categories for the Impact Fee study: (1) Single Family and (2) Multifamily. Each housing type has different characteristics which results in a different demand on County facilities and services. Figure 20 shows the US Census American Community Survey 2021 5-Year Estimates data for Ada County. Single family units have a housing unit size of 2.62 persons and multifamily units have a housing unit size of 1.81 persons. Additionally,there is a housing mix of 83 percent single family and 17 percent multifamily. The estimates in Figure 20 are for household size calculations. Base year population and housing units are estimated with another, more recent data source.

TischlerBise 39 �iscaL I ECONOMIC I PLANNING Ada County, Idaho 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fee Study RESIDENTIAL VEHICLE TRIPS ADJUSTMENT FACTORS A vehicle trip end is the out-bound or in-bound leg of a vehicle trip. As a result, so to not double count trips, a standard 50 percent adjustment is applied to trip ends to calculate a vehicle trip. For example,the out-bound trip from a person's home to work is attributed to the housing unit and the trip from work back home is attributed to the employer. However, an additional adjustment is necessary to capture County residents' work bound trips that are outside of the County. The trip adjustment factor includes two components. According to the National Household Travel Survey, home-based work trips are typically 31 percent of out-bound trips (which are 50 percent of all trip ends).Also, utilizing the most recent data from the Census Bureau's web application "OnTheMap",17 percent of Ada County workers travel outside the County for work. In combination,these factors account for 3 percent of additional production trips(0.31 x 0.50 x 0.17=0.03).Shown in Figure 37, the total adjustment factor for residential housing units includes attraction trips (50 percent of trip ends) plus the journey-to-work commuting adjustment (3 percent of production trips)for a total of 53 percent.

A lower vehicle trip adjustment factor is used for retail uses because this type of development attracts vehicles as they pass-by on arterial and collector roads. For example, when someone stops at a convenience store on their way home from work, the convenience store is not their primary destination. In Figure 39, the Institute for Transportation Engineers' land use code, daily vehicle trip end rate, and trip adjustment factor is listed for each land use. Figure 39.
