110 <br />Other Services <br />Orange County has been in the process of developing estimates of county service impacts. <br />Adding residents to the county is expected to result in some impact to governmental services <br />provided by Orange County. Examples of such services include social services, health <br />services, library services, and emergency management services. Although this specific human <br />service cost may be minimal, school impacts are appreciable. Due to the potential variability of <br />housing and student generation, no impacts were financially totaled as part of this abstract but <br />staff has the information if necessary. The revenues and employment gained are definitely <br />positive. Because the proposed development will be annexed and be within the Town of Chapel <br />Hill's municipal units, the Town will provide police and fire protection to the development. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact to receive a report. If approved and <br />developed, the proposed project would add to the tax base and retail would produce sales tax. <br />The project would also require governmental services, some of which are provided by Orange <br />County. The exact dollar amounts related to the tax base increase and the governmental <br />services have not been calculated due to the variability in the mix of uses in the project. The <br />applicant has not asked for county financial participation to date. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board receive the staff presentation. <br />
