APPENDIX pRq~ SCHOOL IMPACT FEES: Cw,re~ Hiu-C~sORO Cmr $CHOOIS Orange County, North Carolina CHAPEL HILL - CARRBORO CITY SCHOOLS The calibration for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) follows the approach described above for Orange County Schools. The 2005 student generation rates provided by Orange County for CHCCS provide the foundation for the calibration. The top portion of Figure A5, "Chapel Hill-Carrboro: Student Generation Rates (2005)," reflects the rates provided by Orange County from the 2005 analysis. Rates are provided for each of the four housing unit types used in the analysis for each level of school facility: (1) Elementary; (2) Middle; and (3) High. These student generation rates are then calibrated to current conditions for CHCCS using official enrollment data for Fall 2006 for the 2006-2007 school year (as reported in the SAPFOTAC Annual Report 2007) and estimated housing units as of July 1, 2006, for the area served by CHCCS. The calibration process is as follows: The 2005 student generation rates are multiplied by current housing unit estimates to generate an estimated number of students. This figure is then compared to actual figures to determine if the estimate is high or low. The student generation rate is adjusted accordingly. For example, the 2005 elementary student generation rate of .230 for a single family detached unit, as shown in the top portion of Figure A5, is multiplied by current single family housing units to derive an estimated enrollment.. That is: 14,897 single family units x .230 to yield 3,419 estimated elementary students from these units. This is repeated for single family attached/multifamily units (2,437 units x .138 = 336); multifamily units (15,360 units x .033 = 503); and manufactured homes (708 units x .123 = $7) to arrive at an estimated total of 4,345 elementary students. Results are shown in the "Estimated Students" column in the figure. These results are then compared to actual elementary enrollment in CHCCS for 2006-07 of 4,980. Therefore, an adjustment of the 2005 rate is necessary to account for the higher actual number of students in CHCCS. The adjusted rate is almost 15 percent higher than the 2005 rate. An example of the adjusted multiplier calculation is as follows for single family unit: (4,980 actual students / 4,345 estimated students) x .230 = .263. This is repeated for the remaining school levels for each housing unit type. T'he adjusted student generation rates (based on all housing units in the school system and current actual enrollment) for CHCCS are shown at the bottom of Figure A5 under the "Summary' section. Total number of students per unit for all school levels by type of unit is as follows: ^ Single Family Detached:.603 ^ Single Family Attached:.350 ^ Multifamily: .070 ^ Manufactured Homes:.268 A-7 Tischler~i~ BtG.Feax+ndCi Plae+nirgCCmidunti
