~()a) MEMORANDUM TO: SchoolslLand Use Councils FROM: Gene Bell, Interim Planning Director SUBJ: Possible Structure for Communication DATE: November 9, 1998 At the June 3 meeting of the Schools/Land Use Councils, a basic framework for enhanced communication between local governments and schools systems in Orange County was discussed. Further discussion and refinement of the proposed framework (especially in regard to development thresholds) occurred at meetings on June 25, August 17, September 9, and October 22. The focus of communication would be local governments relaying information on land development activities to the schools that could have an impact on their facility needs; and school systems relaying information on future facilities needs/plans to local governments well in advance so as to promote better coordination of activities and resources. Three relevant areas were identified: roles of municipaUcounty government related to processing development proposals, tracking cumulative development, and schools systems roles in keeping local governments apprised of their activities. MunicipaUCaunty Government Roles Related to Development Proposals A first step would be for planning staff in each jurisdiction at the point of receiving a formal development application (concept plan stage for Orange County) that meets apre-determined development threshold to forward it to their planning director. The planning director would relay it to the manager who would elevate it to the attention of the governing boazd. At the same time, the proposal would be forwarded to the appropriate school system superintendent and to the managers of the other jurisdictions who would elevate it to their respective boards. Various development thresholds and actions specific to each were discussed on June 3. A suggested method of addressing these thresholds follows: 1. Development proposals of 30 or more units are shazed with governing/school boards through a manager's memo approach, but immediate action is not. generally required. These are reviewed at the next scheduled meeting of the SchoolslLand Use Councils.
