section z,o2. findings
It is hereby ascertained, determined and declared that:
a. Future growth represented by Emergency Medical
Services System.Impact Construction should contribute its
fair share to the cost of improvements and additions to
· the County Emergency Medical Services System'~hat are
required to accommodate the use of such facilities by such
growth.
b. Implementation of the Impact Fee structure to
require future Emergency Medical Services System Impact
Construction t'o contribute its fair share of .the cost of
improvements and additions to the cOunty Emergency Medical
Services System is an integral and vital element of the'
regulatory plan of growth management incorporated in the
Comprehensive Plan.
c. The standard of service for the Emergency
Medical Services System, as determined in the Impact Fee
Study, is hereby approved and adopted by the County and
found to be in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan.
d. Emergency Medical Services System planning is an
evolving process and the standards of service in the
Primary Area and the Secondary Area for the.County
Emergency Medical Services System constitutes a balancing
of anticipated need for facilities, based upon present
knowledge and Judgment. Therefore, in recognition of
changing growth patterns, the needs of the community and
the dynamic nature of population growth, it is the intent.
of the Board that the standard of service for the
Emergency Medical Services System and the Impact Fee
imposed be reviewed and adjusted periodically, pursuant to
Section 3.09, to insure that the Emergency Medical
Services System Facilities Impact Fees are imposed
equitably and lawfully, based upon actual and anticipated
growth at the time of their imposition.
e. The imposition of the Emergency Medical Services
System Impact Fee is designed and intended to provide a
source of revenue to fund the construction or improvement
of the Emergency Medical Services System necessitated by'
growth as delineated in the capital improvement element of
-the Comprehensive Plan. . ? "
f. The board specifically finds that Emergency
Medical Services benefit all residents of the County and,
therefore, Emergency Medical Services System Impact Fees
shall be imposed in all areas of the County, including
both the unincorporated area and within municipai
boundaries.
'!'." g. This Ordinance shall not be construed to permit
the collection of Impact Fees from Emergency Medical
Services Facilities Impact Construction in excess of the
amount reasonably anticipated to offset the demand on the
Emergency Medical Services System generated by the
~. Emergency Medical Services Facilities Impact Construction
'~" occurring subsequent t° the effective date of this
Ordinance.
h. All improvements and additions to.the Emergency
Medical Services System needed to eliminate any deficiency
between the existing Emergency Medical Services System and
i~:: the standard Of service as adopted in the Comprehensive
Plan, shall be funded by revenues other than Impact Fees.
-',~ Therefore, the revenue derived from the Emergency Medical.
.,. Services System Impact Fee shall be utilized only for the
acquisition of improvements and additions to the Emergency
''~ . Medical Services System which are necessitated by
.~. Emergency Medical Services Facilities Impact Construction
,.~ occurring subsequent to the effective date of this
:'~'' Ordinance.
i. It is hereby declared to be the policy of the
:' Board that the improvements and additions to the Emergency
~;':' Medical Services System, required to accommodate 'future
growth, shall be funded by the revenue derived from the
~. Emergency Medical Services System Impact Fees. Therefore,
¥. credit shall be given for tax revenue sources which have
'":' been utilized in prior years for the funding ~f Emergency
'~'' Medical Services System improvements or additions. In the
event that this policy is. altered by the subsequent action
:~.~.~ii' of the Board, or if additional revenue is received and
committed for growth necessitated improvements and
. additions of the Emergency Medical Services system, the
, Impact Fee shall be adjusted at the annual review required
~"~ pursuant to Section 3.09 and credit shall be given for any.
revenue which has been utilized for growth required
improvements and additions to the Emergency Medical
Services System.
J. The provisions in this Ordinance relative to
developer contribution credit represent an innovative land
development regulation which the Local Government
Comprehehsive Planningand Land Development Regulation Act
encourages local government to employ via its land
development regulations.
Seotion 1.04. Adoption of'Impaot Fee Study and Comprehensive Plan
The Board hereby adopts and incorporates by reference the.
study entitled "Impact Fees for Emergency Medical Services for

clusions and findingS in such study as'to the determination of
anticipated costs of additions to the Emergency Medical
Services System required to accommodate growth. The Board

~)~ ' and documents the calculation:of the fees. The methodology Is
· designed to comply with:the requirements of court cases and ~tatutes

:;',~'""'. The court cases and legislation provide direction In three broad
areas ~f the development of Impact fees:* (1) who pays, and how much :
"~the 'fair share" rules), (2) where and how the fee can be used (the
'nex~s of benefit' rule~), and (3) offsets agalnst.,~the fee (the
~credlts' rule~). ..

: : The fsi~ehare rules provide that impact fees can be charged only
i ~oc the portion of the cost of public capital ~acllltles that Is
attributable to new growth. Impact .fees cannot be charged to pay for
the cost of reducing or eliminating, deficiencies In existing
facilities. W.ithln this broad rule, specific guidance is given In
ii"!.'~everal .areas: tt Is permitted to distinguish among die,scent types
~.-'o~ growth In e~&bllshlng fee ~anounts {I.e., residential, cormercl~l,
· ~tc.)l ~ee-payers should be able to pay a ~maller ~ee If they can
demonstrate that their development will have less Impact than is
presumed In the fee schedule; costs of facilities that will be used by
new growth and existing users must be apportioned between the ~wo
· ,.- groups In determining the amount and expenditure of the fee.
The nexus of benefit rules require a reasonable connection (1)
between the need for public capital facilities and the growth from the
fee-paying development, and (2) between the expenditure of fee revenue
'and the benefits received by the fee-paying development. 'These two'
.condltlone limit where and when impact fees can be collected and used.
Where possible, there should be a geographical relationship, but there
Is no specific limit on the distance between a fee-paying development
and a public capital facility that IS bull't with the impact fees.
Furthermore, 'the. fee revenue must be expended within a .reasonable
period of time, but there Is no specific maximum limit that applies
~o all Impact fee expenditures. Explicit limitations on ' the
.expenditure of fees must 'be adequate to guide government personnel,
2 07-22-91
.fee revenue must be earmarked for ~peciflc use~ related to the
"'public capital facilities
The credits rules allow a fee-payer to have an Impact fee reduced
to refract ri) contributions cf land, cash, facilities, or other
"assets that meet the same need as the fee, and (23 future payments of
taxes that will be used for public capital facilities that respond 'to
':'~'~' the Impact of new development. The court Cases and legislation do not
· ,. prohibit the government from establishing reasonable constraints .on
determining.credits. "~n particular, the government should require.
that the qu<ty of a donated public facility should conform to
~ . adopted county standards for such facilities, or at least be
~';'c(~nparable to 'similar coUnty facilities. The government should also
· require a r~tlonal nexus of benefit between a contribution and the
fee-paying property which receives a credit. Finally, the amount of
?,.. any credit should not exceed the amount of the fee that. Is being
~.!Offset by the credit.
Co]il'er County's Impact fees for emergency medical services are
'based on a standard for levels of service of a Countywide average
' response time of 6.3 minutes for emergency rs.ils. Thls level of
service standard represents a consolidation of two different response
~ - tlmes~ an average response time for emergency runs of 6.0 minutes' In'
-, the "primary' area of the County and an average reFponse time for
emergency runs of 8.S minutes In the "secondary" area of' the CountY;- · ,

The~lmpact fee calculations are baaed on the coat of am~ulancem,
"~, major emergency support equipment, stations for ambulances, the
~':'~ellcopter, helicopter support equipment and hanger. Costs are
calculated at 10'0~ of ambulance, ambulance 'equipment and ~tatl'on

1. STANDARDS. PRINCIPLES. AND ANALYSES
Calculation?of Impact fees Involves a variety of standards,
cost-benefit principles, and analyses of local data. This section
of the study A) establishes the responsibility of the County for "
emergency medical service facilities, B) establishes the basis for
rational nexus of benefits, C) compares improvements-driven impact
fees to standards-driven fees, D) indicates the standard of service
for emergency "medical services, E) establishes the relationship
between new development and the Impact fees, F) describes the costs
of emergency medical services facilities," G) describes credits for
futura:tax payments, H) descrlbes the time frame, and I)
the effect of impact fees on affordable housing.
A. Re~oonslbllitv fbr l~neraencv Medical Servlce~
Collier County is the sole provider of emergency medical
service transport In the County. The County Emergency Medical'
Services and the Fire Districts Rescue unite provide ~mergency
medical eervlces within Collier County. Both are dispatched by the
Sheriff~s Department upon receipt of a ;call for~ emergency
.assistance. If the Fire Rescue unit arrives on the scene first It
will provide emergency medical asslstance.'untll the arrival of :the:
Emergency Medical Services unit. Emergency medical services and
transport Is then provided by the County EMS.: ~he County EMS
department presently operates 8 EMS ground units from 7 stations, 24
hours per day. Emergency Medical Services also uses the County
7 07-22-~!
helicopter to respond to emergency medical calls within the County.
ne helicopter does not function solely as an emergency, medical
· services response unit. .During calendar year 198q the helicopter
~;i. logged 626'flights of'which 561, or 89.6% !were emergency medical
service flfghts. For the purpose of this study, 89.6% of the
.helicopter costs will be used'in the Impact fee calculations.
Non-emergency medical transportation services are also provided
by the County, but such services are not Included In this Impact fee
study. Based on a 10% sample of EMS runs tn 1989, t0.3% were
p . non-emergency runs. Therefore the number'of ENS units responding.to
;,~ emergency' calls Is reduced by 10.3% in order to exclude the
;. non-emergency use of EMS units.
There are three factors that determlnelthe nexus of bene(lts
for emergency medical services Impact fees= fl) residential versus
'nOn-residential benefits, (2) municipal and unincorporated benefits,
,and (3) county-wide service area versus district service areas.
I. Emergency medical services are provided by Coil let' County to
all kinds of properties throughout: the County, regardless of
the type .of use of the property, *therefore, the emergency
medical service Impact fees are to be charged, to all private
development In the County, Including residentFal, co,ertl'al
and Industrial construction.
, ' · 8 07-22-qt
· 2. Emergency medical services are provided by Collier County to
~./ all property In the County, including the cities of Naples and
Everglades City and the:unincorporated area, therefore the
'. emergency medical services impact fees wll! be charged to al!
development in Collier County~ Interlocal agreements between
the County and each municipality will provide for procedures
for the rifles to collect and remit emergency medical services
Impact fees [o the County.
3. The emergency medical service Impact fees are to be charged
uniformly in a single County-wide district. Individual EH$
· f~cllltles do not benefit:specific geographic service "zones"
because they are frequently assigned to provide service outside
~:~,:: their official, zones. Based on a 10~ sample of emergency runs
~. tn 1989, 26~ of the runs were made by units outside of their
~:j, assigned zone. Furthermore, vhen an E~S unit :la on call, other.
units are routinely: relocated to Intermediate "move up"
: positions (away from their base station) tn order to Improve
average response time for the larger area represented by their
base zone and the base zone of the unit that Is on call. These
policies make the E~$ ~ervice function as a slngle:~ystem, .and
: all properties benefit from Improvements to any part of the
system. : :
O. ~mmrovements-Drlven versus Standard~-Drlven Imnact
There are two approaches to ~eveloplng impact fee~
Improvements-driven or standards driven. [mprovements-Orlven impact
fees are based on the cost per unit of demand of providing specific
capital Improvements. Standards-driven !mpac:t fees are based '~n the
cost of providing a standard (i.e. average) capacity of public
facilities pe'r unit of demand.. ,
ImProvements-driven impact fees work best ·when individual
public facilities can be allocated between current users and future
users on the basis of objective data. It would be Impractical to
use the'Improvements-driven approach for emergency medical service
facilities because the Improvements are new units and stations which
~upport paramedics responding to calls for emergency
assistance for both. current and new residents. Therefore,.lt Is not
possible to allocate Individual emergency medical facilities between
existing and new development.
St&ndards-drlven ImPact fees work best when public facilities
are provided to ali actual and'potential' beneficiaries on the basis
of a uniform standard for levels of service. Collier County's
Impact fee for EMS Is based on such a uniform standard, as described
below', therefore the EMS Impact fee Is a standards-driven fee.
D..Standard of SerVice
Collier County's Impact fees for emergency medical services are
based on a standard for level of service of a County~ide average
real, ones time of 6.3 minutes for emergency runs. This level of
service s~andard represents a consolidation ot two different
response times: an average response time for emergency runs of 6.0
· minutes In the "primary" area of the County and an average response
time for emergency runs of 8.5 minutes in ~he 'secondary' =rea of
· the County (~ee map of primary area and secondary area in Appendix
Al. ·
'~: The primary area Is def'ined as that Portion of ~he County.
: designated :as Urban and Industrial within Urban on the County/s
~. Future Land Use Map, along with the Orangetree Settlement Area. All
'~!' of the Urban:and Industrial within Urban areas (e.g. western Collier
County, C~ty of Raples, Immoklalee, Marco Island, Port of the
Islands, Copeland,.Everglades City, Plantation Island, Choko]skee)
'. and the Orangetree Settlement Area are considered as an aggregate In
~ providing th& average ~esponse time of 6.0 minutes.
The secondary area la defined as that portion of the County
designated as Estates, Agriculture, Conservation, and Industrial
within Agriculture areas, on the Future Land Use Map. As tn :the
~:, primary area, all of the land designated as ~states, AgricultUre, :
~; Conservation:, and Industrial wlthl:n Agriculture, is considered as an
~'i~ aggregate in:providing the average response time of 8,5 minutes.
,, : The response times are consolidated into .one Countywide
response time because the County/s E~S back-up poll:cles make the EMS
:..:., service function as a single system (see pFevlous discussion of.
~'~ rational nexus of benefit) and, therefore, Individual EMS unlt~
: tl 07-22-01 ~
Cannot be .~llocated to the primary and seconOary areas of the
County.
The County must maintain the standard for level of service for
existing development tn order to be able to ~harge new development
{OC the same standard, and to assure such development that z'~'mp~ct
fees ace not used to pay for deficiencies In the aCtUal level of
"service compared to the standard. A sample of [989 run reports a'nd
a detailed analysis of results of that sample Indicate that In 198g"
Collier County achieved a countywide average response time of 6.85
minutes (6.6 minutes In the primary area and 8.6 minutes in the
secondary area). The County needs 0.7[89 additional units :to
a~hleve the standard oK an average 6.3 minutes for emergency
responses. .. :
~l~e Cougty/s Comp,ehenslve Plan· cent&Ins a flve-y~ar list of
capital Improvements f~r emergency medical service, facl:lltles. The
~lve-yea~ l.'lst of Improvements will provide the nexus between'the:
standards of service and the actual Improvements that are required
to meet or exceed the standards. The County appropriated money In
lt/s F~90 budget for one additional EMS unit. As a result, the
County has eliminated the "deflc~lency~ between Its current
facl:lltles and: those needed to maintain the level oK. service,
therefor~ the County can require new deuelopm~nt to meet the same
stand~rd of an average of ~.~ minutes for emergency response,. '
12 n?-22-ot
E. Growth and Emergency Medical Services
The standard for level of service of an average of 6.3 minutes
for emergency runs relates to the call I'oad of an EMS unit but It
does not relate that call load to .the type of' development that Is
served*by an EMS unit. In order to make that connection 1¢89 EMS
run reports wa's reviewed and analyzed.

housing may cause some to be priced out of the market If relief Is
not provided. The impact fees for emergency medical services shoutd
be subject to the same affordable housing policies which apply to
the County's ImPact fees for Roads, Parks and Recreation, and
'Libraries.. The County's existing impact.fee ordinances exempt any
residential construction which'qualifies as affordable housing and
is funded in whole or in part'by money received pursuant to a direct
gt'ant or subsidy from the 0.8. Department of Housing and Urban
Development, or from any direct grant or subsidy program of ~the
8tats of Florida or Collier County created to assist In the
construction of affordable housing. All other applicants for
residential construction which Is sold or rented for an amount which
~uallfles as affordable housing are reimbursed by the County ~or the

2. FORMULAS USED TO DEVELOP EMERGEN~ MEDICAL S~R¥I~E IMPACT FEES
Collier County's emergency medical services impact fees are
calculated using a five s~ep process, each of which is based on
formula. This section of the study describes each step and formula,
beginning with ¢1) determination of the annual number .'of emergency
~runs to each:type of land use, {2) calculation of the' annual cost
per emergency run, (3) calculation of the annual co, t for each type:
of land use:, (4) adjustment for credits for future tax payments, and
ending with (5) computation of specific Impact fee rates for various
types of. lank use. In the following equations, formula "A" Is for
a~id~ulance, and formula 'H' ts for helicopter.

Section 2 of this report presented the 5-step process that is
:used to develop Collier County's emergency medical service impact
fees. This section of the study contains ;tables that show the
calculations and results of the s-step process
~ In calc~Jatlng the Impact fee Is to determine the
average number of ambulance and hellco~te~ emergency runs per year
to each type of land use Tables 3-A and 3-H above, summarize the
results of a special study of EMS run reports, and I let the annual
emergency runs for each land use type. In Tables 4-A and 4-H the
annual an~ulance and helicopter emergency runs for each land use
type Is.calculated.
: ~te~ 2 In calculating the Impact fee computes the annual cost
Per emergency run In two steps. First, the number of emergency runs
per EMS unit Is calculated, based on a Countywide average response
lime of 6.3 minutes. Then the. annual cost per EM8 unit is divided
by:the annual emergency runs per EMS unit to determine the cost per .
