Section II <br />E. Student /Housing Generation Rate <br />1. <br />Responsible Entity for Suggesting Change -The updating of this section will be <br />conducted by Planning Directors, School Representatives, Technical Advisory <br />Committee (SAPFOTAC) and referred to the BOCC for certification. <br />Projections will be distributed to SAPFO partners for review and comments to the BOCC <br />prior to certification. <br />2. <br />Definition - A projected number of students that are generated from four different types <br />of housing, "single-family detached", "single-family attached", "multifamily", and <br />"manufactured homes", as defined in Appendix C to the 2007 TischlerBise School <br />Impact Fee Report. <br />3. Standard for: <br />Chapel Hill Carrboro School District <br />See Attachment II.E.1 <br />4 <br />Analysis of Existing Conditions <br />Standard for: <br />Orange County School District <br />See Attachment II.E.1 <br />On October 6, 2009, the Orange County Board of Commissioners approved the updated <br />Student Generation Rates as recommended by the SAPFOTAC. The newly adopted <br />Student Generation Rates became effective this school year with the November 15, 2010 <br />CAPS system update. The new current standards are shown in Attachment ILE.1. <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. <br />Recommendation - No change <br />41 <br />
