10 <br /> Future Residential Development <br /> Following the economic downturn, there has been an increase in approved and undeveloped <br /> residential projects in Orange County. Currently, there are over three thousand proposed single <br /> family and multifamily housing units approved, but undeveloped in the CHCCS district. In <br /> addition, there are over a thousand proposed residential units approved,but undeveloped in the <br /> OCS district. Proposed growth is not included in the SAPFO projection system until actual <br /> students begin enrollment. The Certificate of Adequate Public Schools (CAPS) test is conducted <br /> during the approval process at a certain stage. Once students are enrolled in a school year, <br /> through annual reporting of student membership numbers, 10-year student projections can be <br /> updated to display future capacity needs in time to efficiently plan for future school construction <br /> requests. Staff and the SAPFO Technical Advisory Committee continue to monitor and evaluate <br /> the demand and growth of residential development throughout Orange County as well as its <br /> effect on student membership rates. <br /> Below is a list of larger residential projects and the potential number of students from these <br /> projects which may have an impact to the schools in the short term. Please note, the City of <br /> Mebane is not a party to the SAPFO agreement and therefore does not require that CAPS <br /> (Certificate of Adequate Public Schools)be issued prior to development approvals. As a result, <br /> the potential number of students is based on unit type and bedroom count estimates. <br /> Residential Project i <br /> Units Students <br /> Elementary: 84 <br /> Collins Ridge Phase 1 Hillsborough 672 Middle: 45 <br /> High: 57 <br /> Elementary: 36 <br /> Forest Ridge Hillsborough 233 Middle: 19 <br /> High: 26 <br /> Elementary: 28 <br /> Carraway Village Chapel Hill 400 Middle: 10 <br /> High: 14 <br /> Elementary: 44 <br /> Weavers Grove Chapel Hill 235 Middle: 18 <br /> High: 20 <br /> Elementary: 60 <br /> The Meadows Mebane 256 Middle: 31 <br /> High: 34 <br /> Elementary: 9 <br /> Stagecoach Corner Mebane 35 Middle: 5 <br /> High: 6 <br /> Bowman Village/ Elementary: 48 <br /> Bowman Place Mebane 177 Middle: 23 <br /> High: 30 <br /> v <br />
