He said that the purpose <br /> of this quarterly public hearing was to hear a report about the Schools Adequate Public Facilities <br /> Ordinance (SAPFO) Memorandum of Understanding. This does not entail a change to the <br /> County's land development regulations at this time. The MOU is only the first step in the combined <br /> effort of all the jurisdictions and school systems to bring forth a land development regulation that <br /> would allow the synchronization of new development and the availability of seats within public <br /> schools. The changes that will be discussed tonight are the changes made within the past two <br /> years. The MOU has been distributed to all of the local governments and school districts. The <br /> Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro have approved the MOU. <br />
