1; <br />1 design manual addresses the mixture of uses and compatible public facilities. He said that there <br />2 should be a generalized overview in the manual of the capacity concept for the transportation network <br />3 in the area. Affordable housing will also be addressed in the generalized overview. <br />4 Commissioner Jacobs said that the issue has been raised about limiting the size of <br />5 big-box retail to control the overall traffic impacts. Craig Benedict said that when discussing this topic <br />6 in the EDD Task Force, it was the general consensus that this is something that the County needs to <br />7 be sensitive about so as not to hurt the downtown area of Hillsborough. <br />8 Commissioner Jacobs said that some of the uses indicate that there will be no drive- <br />9 through facilities in the Hillsborough EDD. Craig Benedict said that the intent was to not have drive- <br />lo through facilities. <br />11 Commissioner Jacobs made reference to page 67 and the linear office district. He <br />12 made several notations, which Craig Benedict will take into consideration in editing the manual. The <br />13 issues included vehicular connectivity, open space connectivity, and setbacks and buffers. <br />14 Commissioner Gordon will write down additional comments and submit them to Craig <br />15 Benedict before the Planning Board meeting in April. <br />16 <br />17 MOTION: A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to <br />1s refer the Comprehensive Plan Text and Map Amendments (items C, 1-3) to the Planning Board for a <br />19 recommendation to be returned to the Orange County Board of County Commissioners for <br />zo consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at the Board of Commissioners April 17, 2001 <br />zl meeting. <br />22 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />23 <br />24 4. PUBLIC SCHOOL IMPACT FEE <br />25 The County Commissioners heard a report from the consultant, Mr. Paul Tischler, on the <br />26 calculation of maximum permissible public school impact fees that consider differentiated fees based <br />27 on housing type. After the report, public comment was received on the amount of the im act fee and <br />28 an hin related thereto. At the conclusion of the public comment period, the County Commissioners <br />z9 considered referring the report to the administration for a recommendation on whether the impact <br />3o fees should be changed or not, and if so, to what amounts. That recommendation is to come back to <br />31 the Board as the Board decidi?s in the context of the Board's deliberation leading to the adoption of <br />32 the July 1, 2001 budget. <br />33 Planning Director Craig Benedict made introductory remarks. He said that the public <br />34 school impact fee for Orange County is unique. In 1987, the North Carolina legislature gave Orange <br />35 County the opportunity to assess impact fees. Impact fees are used to receive additional revenue to <br />36 help offset the capital casts of certain types of facilities. In 1993 the first Impact Fee was enacted in <br />37 Orange County. This fee was set at $750.00 for both school systems. Over the last few years, <br />38 Chapel Hill-Carrbor0 City School District has increased the impact fee for their district from $750 to <br />39 $1,500 to $3,000. This is a regular analysis that the County is doing. As part of this mechanism to <br />4o reevaluate the student generation rate and the casts of providing schools, the County also wanted to <br />41 look at the amount of students that were being generated and added to the two school systems. The <br />42 two school systems are being evaluated independently because there are different growth rates. <br />43 Overall, there has been a lot of work during the last three years to determine the level of service <br />44 standards. The County chose to hire a consultant, Paul Tischler and Associates, to conduct the <br />45 school impact fee study. <br />46 <br />47 uestions from the Oran a Coun Commissioners and members of the Plannin Board <br />4s In answer to a question from Commissioner Gordon, Craig Benedict said that if there were <br />49 not an impact fee the property tax rate for existing properties would likely be higher. In brief, the <br />50 impact fee is having new growth pay far school capital needs associated with that growth. Also, <br />51 impact fees are not used for renovations of existing schools. <br />
