18 <br /> o Attachment 1 if the BOCC desires to adopt the proposal made by staff at the <br /> December 5 BOCC meeting. <br /> o Attachment 2 if the BOCC desires to adopt the additional language proposed by <br /> Northwood Ravin for projects containing 100 or more dwelling units. <br /> o Attachment 3 if the BOCC desires to adopt the additional language proposed by <br /> Northwood Ravin for projects containing 100 or more dwelling units and place an <br /> outer limit on issuance of a Certificate of Compliance of December 31, 2020. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked Craig Benedict if he could identify how many projects <br /> would fall under this grandfather clause. <br /> Craig Benedict said there are two: the Collins Ridge project in Hillsborough, and <br /> Carraway Village in Chapel Hill. <br /> Craig Benedict said the Special Use Permits (SUPs) in Chapel Hill focus more on <br /> square footage as opposed to units. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if the Collins Ridge project with 1,000 units would qualify <br /> with Option 3. <br /> Craig Benedict said no, as there are still deadlines to have a zoning compliance permit <br /> prior to January 1, 2017. He said this project is in the process of a zoning compliance permit <br /> on one of the phases. He said there is more work to do, and the project may fall out of the <br /> running. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if, given all the restrictions, would any units qualify. <br /> Craig Benedict said that is difficult to say. <br /> Commissioner Burroughs asked if the differences between the Option 2 and 3 are the <br /> ending dates. <br /> Craig Benedict said in Option 1, the zoning compliance permit has to be completed by <br /> June 30, 2019; and in Option 2, the zoning compliance permit may not be completed but the <br /> fee can be paid by June 30, 2019. <br /> Commissioner Burroughs asked for clarification between Options 2 and 3. <br /> Craig Benedict said the fee must be paid by June 30, 2019 but the buildings must be <br /> completed by December 31, 2020. He said Option 3 has an end date, while Option 2 is more <br /> open ended. <br /> Commissioner Burroughs asked if the County gets the money, why is a finish date <br /> important. <br /> Craig Benedict said staff tied the activity with the fees collected, and the student <br /> impacts as close to when impacts within the schools would be expected. He said having it be <br /> in a reasonable range, and a bit more finite, would create that connection between the fees <br /> paid and the students coming. <br /> Commissioner Rich said when discussing grandfathering, an example is given that <br /> goes out to 2020, and asked if a project in 2018 would be grandfathered in as well. <br /> Craig Benedict said these options only pertain to 2016-17 projects, and all future <br /> projects would fall under the existing fee schedule. <br /> Commissioner Rich clarified that the fees have been changed, and the grandfathering <br /> will only apply to a few projects at this time, and moving forward all projects will fall under the <br /> new fees. <br /> Craig Benedict said yes. <br /> Chair Dorosin referred to Option 3 with the 2020 limit, and asked if a project is not <br /> completed, will the developer pay the current fee at that time. <br /> Craig Benedict said yes. <br />
