If the ordinance is adopted, an impact fee would be collected for each new housing unit constructed in the county, including single - family homes, townhouses, two to four - family dwellings, apartments, and mobile homes. Impact fees would not be collected from existing housing units. Under the proposed system, impact fees would vary between the Chapel Hill - Carrboro and Orange County school districts. The amount of variation would depend on the projected number of students per household and the number, type, and cost of school facilities to be constructed in each school district. The number of bedrooms in a housing unit may also affect the amount of the fees. Funds raised through impact fees would pay only a portion of the total school capital costs, and the level at which impact fees are set will be dependent upon the amount of total capital costs financed from such fees.
