To address the <br /> Educational Impact Fee, the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted an impact fee <br /> reimbursement policy, which provides funds to non-profit housing developers constructing rental and <br /> owner-occupied housing to enable them to pay the fee without passing the cost to the prospective renters <br /> or homebuyers. With this reimbursement, the Board works to alleviate barriers to affordable housing. <br /> Discussion <br /> Not Applicable. <br /> Annual Action Plan 41 <br /> OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) <br />
