Section II <br />1. <br />2 <br />3 <br />11 <br />E. Student / Housing Generation Rate <br />Responsible Entity for Suggesting Change — The updating of this section will be <br />conducted by Planning Directors, School Representatives, and 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 />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 />Standard for: <br />Chapel Hill Carrboro School District <br />See Attachment ILE.1 <br />Analysis of Existing Conditions <br />Standard for: <br />Orange County School District <br />See Attachment ILE.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 the 2010 -11 school year with the November <br />15, 2010 CAPS system update. The current standards are shown in Attachment ILE.1. <br />Both Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill - Carrboro City Schools have recognized a <br />larger increase in students generated from developments in both districts, particularly the <br />multi - family housing. The SAPFOTAC discussed the increased number of students <br />generated in both districts and proposed multi - family projects that may continue to have <br />an effect on student membership numbers. While this may be a short term trend caused <br />by the current economic climate or other factors, the SAPFOTAC recommends further <br />evaluation of the adopted Student Generation Rates and the impacts different types of <br />housing may have on student membership rates. Orange County Planning staff has <br />contacted the consultant used to do this type of work in the past to obtain a cost estimate. <br />It is expected that a new study to update only student generation rates would cost <br />41 <br />57 <br />
