planning department as to the expected rate at which new dwellings within <br />developments similar in size and type to the proposed development are <br />likely to be occupied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, upon request of <br />the applicant, the planning jurisdiction approving the development <br />imposes enforceable conditions upon the development (such as a phasing <br />schedule) to limit the rate at which new dwellings within the development <br />are expected to be occupied, then the School District shall take such <br />limitations into account in determining the impact of the development on <br />school membership. <br />g. The School District shall determine the amount of available capacity in <br />each school level as of November 15°i in the base year and each <br />November 15`h of the succeeding ten years by subtracting from the <br />building capacity numbers for° each of those years the student membership <br />numbers for each of those years. The results shall then be compared with <br />the number of students expected to be added to each school level as of <br />November 15°i in each year (as determined in accordance with subsection <br />3.f above). The School District shall make that information known to the <br />parties to this agreement within 15 days of the comparison. If the School <br />District determines that the projected remaining capacity of each school <br />level is sufficient to accormnodate the proposed development without <br />exceeding the building capacity levels set forth in Section I of this <br />Memorandum then the School District shall issue the CAPS.. If the <br />School District determines that the projected capacity of each school level <br />is not sufficient to accommodate the proposed development without <br />exceeding the building capacity levels set forth in Section 1, then the <br />School District shall deny the CAPS. If a CAPS is denied, the applicant <br />may seek approval from the appropriate plamiing,jurisdiction of such <br />modifications to the development as will allow for the issuance of a <br />CAPS, and then reapply for a CAPS. <br />The School District shall issue CAPS on a "first come first served" basis, <br />according to the date a completed application for a CAPS is received. If <br />projected building capacity is not available and an application for a CAPS <br />is therefore denied, the development retains its priority in line based upon <br />the CAPS application date.. <br />Section 4. A CAPS issued in connection with approval of a subdivision preliminary plat, <br />minor subdivision final plat, site plan, or conditional or special use permit shall <br />expire automatically upon the expiration of such plat, plan, or permit approval. <br />Section 5. The towns and the county will provide to the School District all information <br />reasonably requested by the School District to assist the District in malting its <br />determination as to whether the CAPS should be issued. <br />Section 6. The School District will use its best efforts to construct new schools and <br />permanent expansions or additions to existing schools in accordance with the CIP, <br />Section 7. Orange County will use its best efforts to provide the funding to carry out the <br />Capital Improvement Plan referenced in Section 1 above, <br />H:\DEPTS\SCHOOLS\SchooisAPFO\apprMOUchccs062303. dot <br />
