~ ' J <br />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. On October 6, 2009, the <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners approved the Student Generation Rates as <br />recommended by the SAPFOTAC. The newly adopted Student Generation Rates become <br />effective with the November 1S, 2010 CAPS system update. The current standards are <br />shown in Attachment II.E.1. The newly adopted student generation rates from the 2007 <br />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 />S. Recommendation - No change <br />Implement the newly adopted Student Generation Rates with the November 1S, 2010 <br />CAPS system update. <br />42 <br />
