I Chair Gordon read a portion of Alternate 1 (as follows): 2 d. After the adoption of the ordinances referenced in Section 2, the Orange County 3 Board of Commissioners may change the projected student membership growth 4 rate, the methodology used to determine this rate, or the student generation rate if 5 the Board concludes that such a change is necessary to predict growth more 6 accurately. In making this determination, the Commissioners will consider the 7 recommendation of the staff committee consisting of planning directors for the 8 towns, county, school districts, and superintendents. She also noted that in 9 Alternate 1 it states that the Orange County Board of Commissioners shall inform 10 the other parties to this Memorandum prior to November 15''. She stated that 11 there may need to be some tweaking there if the recommendation is supposed to 12 come out by November 15th. She continued Alternate 1 as follows: 13 14 In making this determination, the staff committee and Board of Commissioners 15 shall consider the following: 16 17 (i) The accuracy of the methodology and projected growth rate then in use 18 in projecting school membership for the current school year; 19 20 (ii) The accuracy of the student generation rate then in use in predicting the 21 number of students at each level actually generated by each new 22 housing type; 23 24 (iii) Approval of and issuance of CAPS for residential developments that, 25 individually or collectively, are of sufficient magnitude to alter the 26 previously agreed upon school membership growth projections; or 27 28 (iv) Other trends and factors tending to alter the previously agreed upon 29 projected growth rates. 30 31 If any such change is made in the projected growth rate, the methodology for 32 determining this rate, or the student generation rate, the Orange County Board of 33 Commissioners shall inform the other parties to this Memorandum prior to 34 November 15th in any year in which such change is intended to_become effective 35 what change was made and why it was necessary. 36 37 Diana McDuffee said that it was important that whatever wording is used, that it be clear 38 that the towns have an opportunity to see what change is being suggested. 39 Chair Gordon suggested on page four at the bottom that the school board should provide 40 a copy of the updated numbers derived in_steps a-d to each of the parties as soon as they are derived. 41 Chair Gordon made reference to Section 8a and residential developments permanently 42 restricted by law and/or covenant to housing for the elderly and/or adult care living and/or adult special 43 needs. 44 Diana McDuffee said that for senior housing, she does not think it is practical to require 45 somebody to use their pr,•nerty for only one type of housing forever or even for 100 years. 46 Discussion ensued about how long the property should be restricted. 47 Craig Benedict said that one idea was that if the property were ever converted, it would 48 fall under the ordinance. If it were restricted for 30 years, then after 30 years it would be a renewal of a 49 special use permit where the owner would have to start over again for a new use. He suggested adding 50 language as item 8c on page five regarding a new use. He offered the following language: "If the two 51 aforementioned developments are changed in nature, the new development has to receive a CAPS."
