<br />Sl!["~:\'; Er..:\~~:H 1:\ij~'ACT t~EE{.; <br /> <br /> <br />Sunny Isles Beach is planning a new municipal complex to be located in the Town Center. <br />The police impact fee methodology includes a plan-based component for the new police <br />headquarters that will be part of the municipal complex. The impact fee methodology also <br />includes an incremental expansion cost method for police vehicles and equipment. <br /> <br />As shown in Figure 14, the police impact fee methodology allocates cost to residential <br />development, hotels and businesses. The demand for service by type of development was <br />determined by analyzing dispatched calls and officer-initiated activity within the City of <br />Sunny Isles Beach. Residential LOS standards per capita were converted to an appropriate <br />fee by type of housing unit using household size data. To allocate capital cost by type of <br />nonresidential development, TA recommends using nonresidential vehicle trips as the best <br />demand indicator for police facilities and vehicles. Trip generation rates are highest for <br />commercial developments, such as shopping centers, and lower for office development, <br />which is consistent with the relative demand for law enforcement. Other possible <br />nonresidential demand indicators, such as employment or floor area, do not accurately <br />reflect the demand for police protection. If employees per thousand square feet were used <br />as the demand indicator, police impact fees would be too high for office/institutional <br />development. If floor area were used as the demand indicator, police impact fees would be <br />too high for warehouse development, such as boat storage facilities. Also, the Police <br />Department responds to all traffic accidents, which are directly related to trip generation <br />rates. <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br />Tischler & Associates, Inc. <br />
