section or certificate of occupancy. of future park land and of exaction for calculate a fee that will assessed at time The funds collected by the will be used for the and future parks, Different of development must be translated into a common unit of measurement that reflects the impact of new development on the demand for park land and facilities, This unit of measurement is called a "service unit." The most common service unit used in park impact fee analysis is population, Population estimates are based on three factors: the number of dwelling units, average household sizes for various types of units and occupancy rates. The number of dwelling units can be estimated with some degree of precision, and average household size has been declining somewhat predictably but has been stabilizing in recent years, Occupancy rates, on the other hand, tend to vary significantly over time, and not in predictable directions, Consequently, this report recommends the use of a service unit that avoids the need to make assumptions about occupancy rates. This service unit is the "equivalent dwelling unit" or EDU, which represents the impact of a typical single-family dwelling, By definition, a typical single-family unit represents, on average, one EDU, Other types of units each represent a fraction of an EDU, based on their relative average household sizes, Under the proposed methodology, the park exactions will not be detenllined by the magnitude of the average household size, but rather on the ratio of household sizes between various types of housing units. An EDD is a unit that has an average household size equivalent to a typical single-family unit in Conway. The EDDs associated with each housing type and unit size category are shown in Table 22, Conway\Road and Park Impact Fee Study April] 5.2003 DRAFT, Page 22 Table 22 EQUIVALENT DWELLING UNIT MULTIPLIERS Housing Type Avg.

In order to detemline the existing level of service, it is necessary to estimate the total number of EDDs in the City of Conway, The first step is to compile an estimate of existing 2003 dwelling units, which is summarized in Table 23 below.
