ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES ORDINANCE 36 Chair Gordon thanked Brian Lowen and Allen Spalt for their work on the SLUC and their support. 37 Brian Lowen said that he wished he could continue to serve on the SLUC and will help as much 38 as possible. 39 Allen Spalt indicated that he would continue to promote the adoption of-the Schools Adequate 40 Public Facilities Ordinance. 41 42 a. Attorneys/Planners/School Representatives (APSR)Workgroup recommendations 43 Craig Benedict said that, based on comments from the public hearing in both Orange 44 County and Chapel Hill, two issues needed to be addressed. One issue was the potential ability of 45 property owners/developers/applicants to hoard or"lock up" capacity for their project before they had 46 submitted anything to the local government. He noted that this is the way the ordinance was formatted 47 originally. In the first draft, before an applicant would come into the local government,they would go to 48 the School Districts to get a Certificate of Adequate Public Schools (CAPS). The CAPS issuance by the 49 School Districts as a public service provider has been moved to after the local government approvals 5o thereby eliminating the long term "'lock up"during the sometimes lengthy development approval process.
