IM The SUP application includes four conceptual site layouts. This is different from the Town's typical SUP application which usually includes only a single layout. The idea is to provide the parameters under which the site will be developed, establishing minimum and maximum floor areas, build -to lines, block frontage percentages, building heights, etc. and as the final densities, users, building footprints and tenant requirements are identified, the developer will work closely with Town staff to provide final plans that meet not only the requirements of the development but also the vision of the Town and the applicable ordinances. County Planning Comments County Planning staff is focusing on the aspects of the project that have a more direct effect on the County and its residents and as noted earlier, the jointly developed land use plan of the general area near the intersection of 1 -40 and MILK. An interesting note is that this site is proximate to the `population center' of Orange County. This means the shortest cumulative drive distance to a central point based on population countywide. Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance A Certificate of Adequate Public Schools (CAPS) must be issued by Chapel Hill - Carrboro City Schools prior to issuance of a Zoning Compliance Permit for any phase proposing residential dwelling units. A maximum of 806 multi - family (MF) dwelling units are being proposed. At current expected student generation rates of 0.07 students per unit, approximately 56 students. However, it should be noted that the County contracted with a consultant last year to study student generation rates in newer housing types (defined as constructed within the past 10 years) and the preliminary results of the study is showing higher student generation rates in newer MF housing (0.20 student per multi - family unit). At these preliminary rates, 161 students would be expected from 806 multi - family units. Project specific MF that have been built have shown a wide array of student impacts from extremely low (i.e. 1 or 2 students per 100 units) to as high as single family at approximately 73 students per 100. This variation is related to number of bedrooms, location and how and who the developer markets the project. Transportation Improvements Proposed The application materials included information on proposed transportation improvements: • Widening Eubanks Road in both directions • Installing two new 4 -way traffic signals on Eubanks Road • Adding additional turn lanes to each leg of the existing traffic signal at the Eubanks Road /MLK intersection
