…body
EXPLANATION: Wellington is authorized by Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes to impose an impact fee that is proportional and reasonably connected to the need for additional capital facilities and increased impact generated by new construction. Based upon the most recent population estimates generated by the U.S. Census, the average number of persons per dwelling unit located within Wellington has increased from 2.95 persons per dwelling unit to 3.06 persons per dwelling unit.
The proposed amendment to the ordinance would link the average number of persons per dwelling unit to the most recent U.S. Census or State-Certified population projections and average family size, whichever is greater, thereby eliminating the need to update the ordinance whenever the population projections change.
