Student Generation Rates <br /> The student generation rates used for calculating the expected number of students from <br /> each new residential unit were approved on May 19, 2015 and are shown in Attachment <br /> II.E.1 of the report. Updated rates began to be used for CAPS issuances in the fall of <br /> 2015 and are based on an inventory of units built from January 1, 2004 to December 31, <br /> 2013. <br /> 9. Access to Full Report <br /> The draft SAPFOTAC report will be posted on the Orange County Planning Department's <br /> website. A letter (Attachment 1) and the Executive Summary of the report will be sent to <br /> all SAPFO partners after this BOCC meeting advising them of the availability of the draft <br /> report and inviting comment. <br /> 10.Additional Information <br /> Mebane <br /> The City of Mebane is not a SAPFO partner and does not utilize CAPS in its residential <br /> development review. However, County staff corresponds with Mebane annually in much <br /> the same way it does with SAPFO signatory communities and Mebane has continually <br /> provided its residential growth information, as represented by certificates of occupancy as <br /> well as projected residential growth estimates. These figures are reflected in the Annual <br /> Report, including the Executive Summary. <br /> Charter Schools <br /> Charter and private schools are not included as part of the SAPFO Annual Report and, <br /> as a result, their membership and capacity numbers are not formally monitored or <br /> included in future projections. However, the SAPFOTAC monitors charter and private <br /> schools and their effect on student enrollment upon both school districts. Additional <br /> information regarding charter school enrollment is contained in the Executive Summary. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Current student growth projections do not show capacity needs for <br /> additional schools in either the CHCCS District or OCS District during the 10-year projection <br /> period. <br /> ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports: <br /> • GOAL 5: PUBLIC EDUCATION/LEARNING COMMUNITY <br /> OBJECTIVE 5. Invest in and implement a plan that supports schools operational and <br /> facility funding needs. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br /> 1. Receive the 2025 SAPFOTAC Annual Report; and <br /> 2. Authorize the Chair to sign the transmittal letter to SAPFO partners contained in <br /> Attachment 1. <br />
