35 million of value to the Town of Chapel Hill over 25 years. He said this will include six apartment units, of mixed bedroom size, that will be leased to the Town for $12/year for 25 years. Commissioner Rich asked if these apartments are for UNC Students, with the exception of the affordable housing. Wayne Hadler said yes. He said the affordable units will be on the Hillsborough side of the project, closer to the houses. Craig Benedict said the amendments being requested to the resolution in Attachment 3 states the Applicant wishes to have a submittal by May 15, and an issuance prior to December 31, 2017. John Roberts said he has typed out the petitioner's request in the form of two new paragraphs at the end that he can read into the record, if the Board votes to adopt the changes requested by the Petitioner. Chair Dorosin said the Applicant made a petition, which the Board referred to staff. He said staff and the Petitioner have worked together in good faith, and in the interim, legislation was introduced that would eliminate the County from being able to collect impact fees. He said the Board's willingness to work with this issue existed in advance of the legislative bills being filed, and by no means is the Board acting with a gun to its head. Wayne Hadler said that Chair Dorosin sent a personal email to him after the February 21st meeting to let him know that his request had been referred to staff. John Roberts read the proposed amendments to the resolution: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT projects of 90-units in size or greater for which a Zoning Compliance Permit application has been has been submitted prior to May 15, 2017 and for which a building permit application has been submitted prior to January 31, 2019 may choose to pay either the public school impact fee that was in effect for 2016 for the housing type(s) proposed in the application or the fee required by the public school impact fee schedule in section 30-33 of Chapter 30, Article II of the Orange County Code of Ordinances, provided the fee is paid prior to June 30, 2020 and a Certificate of Compliance is issued prior to December 31, 2020. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT applicants for additional grandfathering of projects of 90- units in size or greater that submit a zoning compliance permit application prior to May 15, 2017 may submit requests and supporting information no later than July 31, 2017 to Orange County Planning Staff who, in conjunction with the Orange County Attorney, will prepare agenda items for Orange County Board of Commissioners consideration at the next available regular meeting of the Orange County Board of Commissioners. Wayne Hadler agreed to this amended language. John Roberts said the second paragraph is needed so that this is not seen as an individual benefit to one developer. A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Marcoplos to approve the amended resolution in Attachment 3 (deleting two paragraphs, and replacing them with two new paragraphs above). Chair Dorosin clarified that the motion contains that the ZCP must be submitted by May 15, 2017, and issued by December 31, 2017. John Roberts said the language says it has to be submitted by May 15, 2017, and a building permit application must be submitted by January 31, 2019, and does not address what Chair Dorosin just asked.
