IMPACT FEE POLICY FOR HOUSING NON-PROFIT AGENCIES <br />Since enactment of the County Impact Fee Ordinance, both Habitat <br />for Humanity and Orange Community Housing Corporation have requested funds <br />from the County to pay applicable impact fees for housing developed for <br />low and moderate income persons. In December, 1994, the Board of <br />Commissioners agreed to provide such funding to Habitat for Humanity. <br />Since that time, the Orange Community Housing Corporation has asked for <br />similar funding. In order to process these types of requests, an <br />Administrative Policy has been developed and is included in the agenda. <br />The effective date for the proposed policy is the beginning of the current <br />fiscal year - July 1, 1995. There is approximately $12,064 available in <br />the current year budget for impact fee reimbursements/appropriations. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by <br />Commissioner Halkiotis to approve the policy except for one change to the <br />procedures to add a requirement that each request be placed on the Consent <br />Agenda for Board approval. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
