Specifically, <br /> Section 5-C, Limitation on Expenditure of Funds, is proposed for <br /> amendment to clarify that public school impact fees may be used to convert <br /> existing buildings into new public school space. Section 6, Credits, is also <br /> proposed for amendment to clarify that dedication of a public school site <br /> may qualify the landowner, not the developer, for a credit against payment <br /> of public school impact fees. Correspondence from the County Attorney <br /> explaining the rationale for the proposed amendments is provided as an <br /> attachment. <br /> Action on the proposed amendments may be taken immediately following <br /> the public hearing. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed amendments. <br />
