Section II <br /> 4. Analysis of Existing Conditions <br /> Orange County entered into a contract with TischlerBise, Inc. in 2007 to update the <br /> student generation rate analysis and impact fee levels. In December 2008, the BOCC <br /> adopted revised impact fee levels based on the consultant's work. Additionally,the <br /> BOCC directed staff to follow the process outlined in the SAPFO MOUs to update <br /> student generation rates as they pertain to SAPFO processes. The current adopted <br /> standards are shown in Attachment II.E.1. The recent student generation rates from the <br /> 2007 TischlerBise report are shown on Attachment II.E.2. <br /> Also, note that students are generated from new housing as well as from existing housing <br /> where new families have moved in. The CAPS system estimates new development <br /> impacts and associated student generation but it is important to understand that student <br /> increases are a composite of both of these factors. This effect can be dramatic and can <br /> vary greatly between areas and districts where either new housing is dominant or new <br /> families move into a large inventory of existing housing stock. <br /> 5. Recommendation —Adopt updated TischlerBise 2007 Student Generation Rates <br /> The SAPFOTAC discussed the most recent student generation rates included in the 2007 <br /> TischlerBise report. They recommend the BOCC and other governing boards accept the <br /> new,most current rates and adopt them as the standard for SAPFO and the CAPS system. <br /> In addition, the SAPFOTAC recommends the definition be revised to include all of the <br /> housing types included for both CHCCS and OCS, as shown on Attachment II.E.2. The <br /> SAPFOTAC intends to take these changes through the process defined in the MOUs in <br /> 2009. <br /> 42 <br />
