Additionally, the studies include information on Age Restricted Units. Attachment 3a shows <br /> the MSIF at various percentage levels. It should be noted that the adopted percentage of <br /> MSIF must be the same for all housing types (e.g., fees cannot be adopted at 40% MSIF for <br /> one housing type and 60% MSIF for a different housing type). <br /> Since 1995, Orange County has offered an impact fee reimbursement program for school <br /> impact fees paid on affordable housing units. From FY09-10 through FY15-16, $606,318 in <br /> collected impact fees was reimbursed for the 77 affordable single-family housing units and <br /> one apartment building containing 6 affordable multi-family units constructed in that time <br /> period. <br /> Orange County Planning staff will hold a public information meeting on September 26 at <br /> 6:00p.m. at the Whitted Meeting Facility in Hillsborough. A representative from the <br /> consulting firm will attend the joint School Boards/BOCC meeting on September 29 to <br /> present the results of the study and address technical questions/comments on the reports. <br /> A BOCC public hearing on potential updates to school impact fee levels has been <br /> scheduled for October 4. <br /> Possible options for updated fee levels include: <br /> 1. As calculated, adopting at some percentage of the MSIF. <br /> 2. Collapsing the Single Family Detached category in the Orange County Schools <br /> district (due to an unexpected result in this category), charging the "Average" for this <br /> housing type in this district, charging fees as calculated for other housing types, and <br /> adopting at some percentage of the MSIF. <br /> 3. Collapsing all housing type categories in both or either school districts, charging the <br /> "Average" calculation by housing type, and adopting at some percentage of the <br /> MSIF. <br /> a. Note for this option: Accessory dwelling units (e.g., granny flats) are included <br /> in the multi-family category (0-2 bedrooms) so setting the fee for the "average" <br /> calculation may result in an increase for accessory dwelling units, depending <br /> on the percentage of MSIF chosen. <br /> 4. Options 1-3 can also be implemented by increasing the percentage of MSIF over a <br /> period of time (e.g., adopt at x% effective 2017, y% effective 2018, and z% effective <br /> 2019). <br /> Attachment 3a: Various Percentage Levels of the Maximum Supportable Impact <br /> Fee (MSIF) <br /> Attachment 3b: Historical Impact Fee Activity <br /> Attachment 3c: School Impact Fee Collections Graph from FY 2006-07 to FY 2015-16 <br /> Attachment 3d: School Impact Fee Expenditures Graph from FY 2006-07 to FY 2015-16 <br />
