Development Impact Model
On October 12, 2005, the Frederick County Board of Supervisors directed staff to use
the Development Impact Model (DIM) to project the capital fiscal impacts that would be
associated with any rezoning petitions containing residential development, replacing the
existing Capital Facilities Fiscal Impact Model. The DIM was created by an economic
consultant who evaluated and analyzed development within the County in an effort to
assist the County in' planning for future capital facility requirements. Critical inputs to
the DIM are to be reviewed and updated annually to assure that the fiscal projections
accurately reflect County capital expenditures. The Board of Supervisors authorized
use of the annual model update on June 25, 2008.
The DIM projects that, on average, residential development has a negative fiscal impacts
on the County's capital expenditures. As such, all rezoning petitions with a residential
component submitted after June 25, 2008 will be expected to demonstrate how the
proposal will mitigate the following projected capital facility impacts:
Single Family Dwelling Unit = $23,818
Town Home Dwelling Unit = $16,965
Apartment Dwelling Unit = $ 8,975
The following is a breakdown of the projected impacts per dwelling unit for each capital
facility.
