INTRODUCe'ION AND OVERVIEW
Thls study of library Impact fees for Collier County, Florida
presen=[~' 'the methodology that Is used to develop the fees,
~umma'~Izes the data that Is the basis for the fees, and documents
the calculation of the fees. The methodology Is designed to
~ ..
wlth the requirements of court oases and statutes of the
i!State of Florida.
'Fhere are three significant court cases that guide the
i. development of Impact fees In Florida:
~of Plnellas County v._.~ 329 So.2d 314
~Fla. 1976); Hollywood. ~~ 431 So.2d 606
(Fla. 4th DCA 1983); and
~h County.' Inc~~
;~'~~ountv,'' 446 So.2d 140 (Fla 4th DCA 1983). ~e Local
· Comprehensive Planning ~nd Land Development: Re~latlon
Act also touches on s~e aspects of.Impact fees.
~e court case~ and legislation provide dlrectlon In three
b~oad area~ of the development of Impact fees:: (1) who pa'ys, and
;~h~ ~¢h (~he =~alr share* ~ules), (2) ~here and ho~ ~he ~ee can
used (the 'nexus of benefit' rules), and (3) offsets against
~'.,~....
~he ~ee (~he *cCedl~" rules)..
~e ~alm ~hare ~ule~ p¢ovlde' th~ Impact ~ees can be qharged ............
Only for the portion of the comt of public capital facilities that
1, attributable to new g~rff~am~ees cannot be cha~ged to

.P&y for the cost of reducing or eliminating deficiencies in
!exlstl~ facilities. Within this Broad rule, speciflc guidance Is
glven''l~ several areas~ It Is permitted to distinguish among
.different types of growth in e~tablishing fee amounts (i.e.,
resldentlal, ccmmerclal,~'etc.); fee-payers should be able to pay
~naller fee if they can d~monstrate that their development will
less Impact than Is presumed In the fee schedule; costs of
lltles that will be used by new growth and existing users must
apportioned between the two gro~ps In determining the a~ount of
i~.the fee~ - .... .
?,~:,~..., The nexu~ of benefl't rules re~ulr~ the government to show a
!!~easonable connection (1) between the .need for public capital
'faclll-t-les and the growth from the fee-paying development, and (2)
~: !~'. , ..
between--t~e :expenditure of fee revenue and the benefits received
by the fee-paying development. These two condl.tlons limlf where
',;. ?-
and when Impact fees can be collected and used. Where possible,
there should be a geographical relationship, but there Is no
~peclflc llmll; on the distance between a fee-paying development ...
and a public capital facility that Is built with the Impact fees.
re, the fee revenue must be expended within a 'reasonable
~.~erlod of time, but there Is no single maximum Ilmlt that applies
to ':all lmpac~ fee expenditures. Exp.llclt limitations on the
~eX~endlture of fees must~ be' adequate to guide government
)ersonnel, and fee revenue must be earmarked for specific' uses .........
related to the public capital facilities.

The credits rule~'allo~ a fee-payer to have an Impact fee
'educed to reflect (1) contributions of land, cash, facilities, or
other assets that meet the same need as the fee, and ¢2) future
payments of taxes that would ordinarily be used for the same
,.'Public capital facllltles, for which the Impact fee Is being
charged. The court casem and I~gislatlon do not prohlblt the
?government from establlshlng reasonable constralnts on determining
credlts. In particular, the government should require that the
~luallty of a donated public facility should conform to adopted
~.~,ounty standards for much facilities, or at least be comparable to
h~lmllar County facilities. ~e government should also require a
I nexus of benefit between a contribution and the
fee-paying ~roperty which receives a credlt. Finally, the amount
any credit should not exceed the amount of the fee ~hat Is
offset by the credit.
~e 'Impact fees for public libraries consist of two parts:
.part for library buildings, and the other for the library
lectlon (I.e., books, periodicals, audlo-vlsual materials,

ppr~ach~"Umlng the mt~ndards of servlce contained In the
~lt~l Improvementm Element of the County'~ Comprehensive Plan.
10/10/90
'i"ne Impact fee calculat.ions are based on the average capital
cost of library buildings and collection materials. No~costs of
operation or maintenance of library facilities or programs are
:'i~ inClUded' 'In th~ Impact fee.
~'~ T~ere are three factors that determine the nexus of benefits
for library Impact fee~': (1) residential versus non-residential
benefits, (2) municipal ~nd unincorporated benefits, and ¢3)
~.¢ounty-wlde service area w~rsus district service areas.
i~*~':'* Th~ County-wide library system Is used, for the most part, by
*''Individuals rather than buslnesse~ or other non-resldentlal land
i~uses, therefore the County's library Impact fees are charged only
[o ~esldentlal development.
'* 'llqe County-wide library system Is available to all residents
of the County and It Is used by persons throughout the County,

Including r~sldent's of munlclpalltles, therefore, the County's
!i~..llbrary Impact fees are charged to all residential development In

ii~.'~i! The Individual libraries In the County-wide library system.,
are connected by lnter-Ilbrary lo,sns and other resource 'sharing
)rogt'ams. Each library In the County-wide system has access to

county-wlde district Is used to collect and expend uniform

1 STANDARDS,.PRINC[PLES AND ANALYSES
· -' Impact f~e calculations are based on service level standards,
cost-benefit principles, and analyses of local data. This section
of the study describes the standards, principles and analyses that
~'i~Pport the Collier County library Impact fees. In particular,
~]'Sectlon I compares standards-driven Impact fees to Improvements-
~rlven fees, establishes the responsibility of the County for its
library system, examines the bases for rational nexus of benefits,
~j, Indicates the standards of service for the County's library
buildings and collection, lists the standard costs of library
buildings and collection materials, analyzes credits for future
.~ax payments, and summarizes soclo-economlc data showing trends In
:~persons per household..'.~'., '- · ·
,,~. ,;. : ·
ovemen -
· &:~"'~... There are two approaches to developing Impact fees: stan-
dardSldrlven or lmprovements-drlven. Standards-driven Impact
~'fees use a standard of service to define the slze of the library
,stem that Is required (l,e., library books and collectlon Items
C.:';,
,.'per capita, and square feet of library buildings per capita). The
cost of' the standards-driven Impact fee Is determined by (1)
multiplying the standard per person times the estimated cost per
,unit of facility, thus est~bllshJnq the cost per person, then (2)
tJN~t~:,l,...... ...... .,.. .... . ..,. : / . '
.multl.~lyl~g.tl~e. c~st. pCt..person times the number of per~on~"'that .....
occupy residential d~elllng units, thus calculating the Impact fee
cost per dwelling unit, Improvements-driven Impact fees are based
173
6 lO/lO/90
[]m
~'~'on a specific list of planned Improvements, and the amount of the
:~' fee Is determined by allocating the cost of the planned
Improvements among the projected fee paying-developments on the
:].ii:basis of population and occupancy rates per household. Some
~ Improvements-driven Impact fees ue:e standards of service as the
basis for preparing the list of Improvements.
~F~..~ Collier County's library 'Impact fees are based on the
.~tandards-drlven approach. It would be Impractical to use the
Improvements-driven approach for a library collection because the
Improvements are books and other published materials, and future
i"~..,Improvements could Include books that have not yet been written.
The standards-driven approach for library buildings allows the
County to determine at a later date the exact location of new
?developments, and to match the patterns of growth with specific
n'e~-~or'~.expanded -libraries to meet the needs of the new
?~evelopment. An lmprovement~-drlven approach would be subject to
'Constant modification In order to match the patterns of growth.
:.The Capital Improvements glement of the Comprehensive Plan will
provide an annual listing of specific library.projects on which
lbrary Impact fees may be expended. 'm

~.llbrary la Naples and 5 branch libraries: Collier North, Golden

Collier County Is legally .and financially responsible for the
impact on libraries, ~nd service level requlrements for libraries
Includes all of the-County-wlde library system.
The CoHnty Is not responsible for State, municipal, private
:~or school libraries. The County cannot control access to or usage
' of libraries operated by other agencies or private parties
· therefore such facilities and their collections are excluded from
~the analysis of County library Impact fees.
-, ~ The cities of Naples and Everglades City do not have their
.,.o~n libraries, and resldents of those cities must rely on the
~County-wlde library system for their public library services. As
result, munlclpal developmsnt In Collier County has an
obligation to pay Its fair share of the County-wide library Impact
'fee. If'munlclpal growth's fair share of the County-wide library
, Is not funded by library Impact fees, then other~ County
revenues will be required to subsldlzs the lmprovement~ caused by
clpal growth. And If the County does not have other revenues
to 'pay for the munlclpal share of County-wide growth, the
ltlng "unfunded" portion will not conform to the fundamental
Irements of financial feasibility of capital Improvement~

}/'[.~. There are three tesues that affect the nexus of benefits for
'.llbrary Impact fees: (1) the type of property that receives the
benefits (residential or non-residential), (2) the location of the
property In a municipality or In the unincorporated areas of the
,County, and (3) the proximity of the development to the library
.Its collection (county-wide service area vet,us district
areas>.
)i.' 'i"ne County-wide library system Is used, for the most part, by
Individuals rather than butHnesses or other non-resldentlal land
'.uses. There is no data that can be used to objectively quantify
the benefit of the library to non-residential users, therefore the
County's library Impact fees are charged only to residential
ii"~eVelopment,
· .,;..The County-wide library system Is available, to all residents
~of th~ C~;unty. whether the~, ]lve In municipal Or unincorporated
-areas. The County's library system Is used by persons throughout
~'the County, Includlng resldents of municipalities. As
lability to, and actual usage of County libraries by city
residents, the County's library Impact fees are charged'to all
~esl~entlal development In the County,

;library in the system has access to the entire collection In the
County-wide library :~ystem, thu~ each branch of the~.County's
y collection serves the entire County. The absence of
service areas for libraries leads to a single county-wide district
.to collect and expend a county-wlCe Impact fee for the llbrary.
~lbrarv B~
Collier County's llbr,~ry Impact fees are designed to maintain
a standard of library service for present and future residents of
the County. The standards are measured In square feet of library
buildings per person and collection Items per person.
.~The Collier County standard for l.lbrary space Is 0.33 square
'~er capita. The ~tandard was 'created by the Citizens
¥CoT~lttee to the Collier County Planning Commission. The
· 1~ set at 150% of the t~86 actual square footage per
~lta'of the County's library system. ~
The Collier County standard for the library collection Is one
t.O) book per capita. The standard was adapted from guidelines
'~eco~zaended b~ the Florida Library Association (FLA). The FLA's
ions appear In .the 1985 publication, ~
The standards are
~ted"'ln order to simplify the FLA guidelines, and to conform to
~.County policies and financial capabilities.
... In general, a "book" ls'a slngl.e ~ound volume, and multiple
?copies of a single title a~ '~[~h co~te~ ~'s~Pa~ate"~s. For

~ltems are measured by cos:t, and the standard~ Is $0.03 per capita
per year. The standards for non-book collection Items are based

< what credits, If any,..,are required to'be given. '~'
The current County policy Is to use the General Fund
(Including ~d valorem taxes) as well as state grants for library
Ion. The history of County library construction
Includes crate grant revenues as well as the General Fund. State
grants funded part of the construction of the Golden Gate and
Immokalee branch libraries. As recently as 1989, the County
"received a state grant of $200,000 for the construction of the
Naples branch library.
~ii:;"' A credit Is applied to the Impact fees for future grants
i. beCause each person moving into Collier .County Is paying taxes to
the State of Florida, whlch are then returned to the County In the
foc~n of grants. In order to determine the Impact fee credit for
{~state Construction grants, a grant mount per capita Is calculated
by dFvlding the $200,000 by the current county-wide population of
.i S,* '*'persons. This equates to ,1.2 per capita. *his , .21
discount or credl, per capita for future.gr~nts will be applied to '
library building portion of the actual Impact fee calculation ·

~ollectlon lt~ to use the ~revenues of the General Fund and State
'~eratlng Grants for Llbrar'l~s.
The .purpose of the~ Impact fee 1~ to charge new '-'
', d~velopment for lt~ fair share of the cost of library system
capital Improvements. ~ew developmentts fair share Is all of the
14 10/10/90
~ost of the capital Improvements that are needed because of new
development, and none of the cost ~f capital improvements that
reduce or eliminate existing deficiencies or replace exlstlng
fa¢llitles or apparatus. Charging new development for Its fair
,,,share Is a new County pollcy which replaces,the use of all other
revenues, with the exception of state library construction grants,
for growth's share of capital costs.
:'i Tlne change In County policy means that credits for future t~x
p~yments do not need to be given to new development because the
County will use impact fees ~nd grants Instead of future tax
',~i, pal~nents to pay for tlbrary oaplt~l costs for new development.
!,'I~ne future tax payments of new development will be used for the
operating costs of the library system, and for costs of replacing
· icollectlon Items =s they become obsolete.
The other potential 'credits' agalnst .Impact fees are
n~lo~s by developers. 'Those credits depend upon ~peclflc

elatlonshlp between the cqst per capita and the dwelling unit.
C.o~nectlon Is mede by multiplying the average persons per
household times the c'~st per capl~e to compute the Impact fee per
househo!d-(clwelllng unit). According to the County Office of
Mana[tement. there Is an average of 2.59 persons per
In Collier County.
'A'funda~lental premise of Impact fees Is that growth should
,ay for'Its fair share of the publlc facllltles that It needs. One
Potential dr~wback to Impact fees paid by residential development
the potential negative affect of the fees on the affordablllty
~of housing. This concern has little Import for housing which Is
moderate or higher price. Such houses wi I I not be
elgnlflcantly' affected by impact fees because the Impact fees
~ In this study would be less than ~-/10 of 1% of the

an.everege home. Low lncc~ne housing, however, may 'be more
ly. affected. Any given Impact fee will be a larger
· 'percentage of ~.the cost of a low priced home, and the Inelasticity
'Of Income of buyers of low cost housing may cause some to be ,
~Flced out of the market If relief Is not provided.
"'~'he Impact 'fees for the library system are subject to the
affordable housing policies found In Section 3.04 of Collier
Ordinance 88-97.

Collier County's library impact fees are calculated using a
three step process, each of which uses one or more formulas. This

r,,,. Sect'lon 2 of this report presented the 3-step process that Is
used to develop Collier County's library Impact fee. This section
'Of' the study .contains a series of tablem that show the
~,~.~alculatlons that determine the library Impact
fee.
~:" ' The first step In calculating the County's library Impact fee
's"le to determine the cost per 'capita. The cost per unit (square
,~,~oot or collection Item) Is multiplied times the standard (square
feet or number 'of books per capita). Table 3 shows these
