ORANGE COUNTY EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES IMPACT FEE ORDINANCE <br />AMENDMENTS <br />1) Amendments to Orange County Educational Facilities Impact Fee Ordinance <br />The Orange County Educational Facilities Impact Fee Ordinance, adopted in 1993 and <br />amended in 1995, 1996, and 2001, needs further amendments to provide clarification <br />and aid in administration of the Ordinance. Amendments to the following sections of the <br />Ordinance are proposed: <br />SECTION 2 -DEFINITIONS: <br />Amend the definition of Dwelling Unit consistent with the State Building Cade and <br />provide definitions and examples for the following terms: single family detached, all other <br />residential types, and new residential dwelling unit, <br />Pur ose: Section 2 -Definitions: The Educational Facilities Impact Fee Ordinance <br />identifies two levels of impact fee in each school district based on the type of new <br />residential dwelling unit, A "single family detached residential dwelling unit" is charged a <br />higher fee than "all other residential types," Proposed amendments provide definitions <br />and examples for the residential types to ensure that a fee payer is assessed at the <br />proper rate. <br />SECTION 4 -PUBLIC SCHOOL IMPACT FEE EXCEPTIONS <br />Add an impact fee exception when a dwelling unit is moved to a new lot, <br />Purpose: Section 4 -Public School Impact Fee Exceptions: Impact fees are not imposed <br />on structures and buildings that existed on the effective date of the Orange County <br />Educational Facilities Impact Fee Ordinance or that, if constructed or erected after the <br />effective date of the Ordinance, have been determined in the Ordinance will not <br />materially effect current levels of service of public school facilities. It is proposed to add <br />to this class of buildings or structures a residential dwelling unit which is moved to a <br />previously undeveloped lot and where the lot from which the moved residential dwelling <br />unit was located and the lot to which the moved residential dwelling unit will be located <br />are both in the same "public school benefit area," Two options are under consideration, <br />The first option would require that the lot from which the residential dwelling unit is <br />moved be extinguished as a residential dwelling lot, in effect, providing for the impact fee <br />exemption to "non with the land," The second option would require that an impact fee be <br />imposed on the lot from which the residential dwelling unit was moved if, in the future, <br />another residential dwelling unit were located on that lot, in effect providing far the impact <br />fee exemption to "run with the dwelling unit," <br />
