If the ordinance <br /> is adopted, a public school capital facilities fee would be <br /> collected for each new housing unit constructed. Such fees would <br /> not be collected from existing housing units. <br /> The proposal under consideration involves capital facilities <br /> fees for the Orange County and Chapel Hill-Carrboro School <br /> Districts. The amount of the fee under consideration ranges from <br /> $500 to $750 per housing unit. Funds raised through capital <br /> facilities fees would pay only a portion of the total school <br /> capital costs, and the level at which capital facilities fees are <br /> set will be dependent upon the amount of total capital costs to be <br /> financed from such fees. <br /> The methodology for derivation of the public school capital <br /> facilities fees, as well as various options available for financing <br /> school capital needs with such fees, is contained in a report <br /> available for public inspection in the Planning & Inspections <br /> Department. The address and phone numbers for the department are <br /> listed below. <br /> r <br /> 1 <br /> I <br /> f <br />
