VA Chestnut Oaks Phasing page two Unfortunately, the increase in Habitat's organizational capacity has not occurred quickly enough to keep pace with the Phase expiration dates of the Chestnut Oaks Preliminary Plat. Additionally, the rapid growth of Habitat has meant that attention and emphasis has been focused within the organization itself, its family selection process and fund raising for homes. As Habitat grew and conquered its own internal obstacles, they remained unaware of the importance of time in Chestnut Oaks. The organization growth process unique to this non - profit is responsible for our failure to conform to our Phase dates. Market conditions have not affected our work in Chestnut Oaks. 4. "Whether the development project, if completed consistent with the approved Preliminary Plat, will tend to aid or meet an important public policy goal established by the Board of County Commissioners" Habitat for Humanity provides excellent homeownership opportunities to families earning 30% and less of our areas median income. In doing so, Habitat meets an important public policy goal established by the Board of County Commissioners. 5. "Whether the application for an amended phasing plan was submitted before the previously approved time limit(s) has lapsed" The application for an amended Phasing plan was not submitted before the previously approved time limit had lapsed. 6. "The possibility of and practicality of the subdivider and developer completing the development project consistent with Orange County regulations applicable if the phasing plan amendment is not granted" If this application is not granted, the extant Preliminary Plat for Chestnut Oaks will completely expire. Regulations passed by the County on April 2 of this year would apply to any new Plat application. Those regulations would decrease the number of potential lots to one -third the current approved number. An irreplaceable opportunity for decent low income housing would be lost.
