efficiency and sustainability <br />policies? Paused this discussion <br />during COVID. <br />ii. Would help with alignment <br />between two districts to use DPI <br />standards. <br />iii. Ex. Don’t need to build an athletic <br />stadium for capacity in case make <br />it to state playoffs. Can build <br />standard size and rent if ever need <br />more seating <br />ii. Jean: Steve, where do we find the OC design standards? <br />1. Steve: not in county policy but county uses <br />LEED as our county standards – used within <br />design community <br />2. Al: echoed Patrick and Steve’s comments about <br />importance of standards and LEED <br />3. Patrick: drywall and insulation are not going to <br />protect students and staff in an active shooter <br />situation <br />4. Jean: do we need county-wide design standards? <br />a. Al: school needs do vary from county <br />building but in his experience design <br />standards are not typically at a local level <br />unless it’s a local ordinance that says all <br />new school buildings must be built to a <br />silver LEED standard – just want to make <br />sure we don’t restrict ourselves in terms <br />of cost (Platinum may be the standard but <br />then we can’t afford to build it in lean <br />economic times). <br />5. Bonnie: are there standards on size? <br />a. Al: size of the school may depend on the <br />capacity needed <br />b. Jean: hearing the county has additional <br />standards on top of DPI – are districts <br />speaking of the Uniform Development <br />Ordinance? (page 286) <br />c. https://www.orangecountync.gov/Do <br />cumentCenter/View/7179/UDO-MOST- <br />CURRENT-updated-050319 <br />i. Al: these are baseline standards <br />d. Jean: everyone review UDO standards <br />and then discuss at next meeting about <br />whether they are restricting our progress. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: F3ECCCC4-11C5-4B8B-A148-28FAABFF6334
