PURPOSE: To consider amendments to the 2015 Schools Adequate Public Facilities
Ordinance Technical Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) Report.
BACKGROUND: Following the certification of the 2014 Schools Adequate Public
Facilities Ordinance Technical Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) Report, Orange
County entered into an agreement with TischlerBise to update student generation rates.
The Student Generation Rates for Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill-Canrboro
School District Report, completed on October 28, 2014, provided updated student
generation rates based on an inventory of recently built units from January 1, 2004 to
December 31, 2013.
In March 2015 the formal review process for the 2015 Schools Adequate Public
Facilities Ordinance Technical Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) Annual Report
commenced. The report and executive summary were approved and certified at the
May 19, 2015 BOCC meeting. This report included the updated student generation
rates for both school districts based on the student generation rate analysis completed
by TischlerBise in October 2014. The 2015 SAFOTAC Annual Report can be found at
this link: http://www.orangecountync.gov/2 15 SAPFOTAC Annual eport.pdf.
Due to minor mis-categorizations identified with the student generation rate analysis
completed for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools in the report, TischlerBise provided a
revised student generation rate study to Orange County on May 7, 2015. The original
report included student generation rates based on housing units that were categorized
incorrectly. Specifically, 155 housing units were incorrectly categorized as multifamily
instead of single family attached and vice versa. The revised student generation rates
are included in Attachment 1. If approved, the corrected chart would replace the chart
on page 44 of the 2015 SAPFOTAC Report.
Student generation rates for Orange County Schools were calculated correctly and as a
result are not part of this amendment. It should be noted that no additional sections or
calculations contained in the 2015 SAPFOTAC Report, including student projections,
will be affected by this amendment. The amendment is necessary to correct student
2
generation rates approved in the 2015 SAPFOTAC Report for Certificate of Adequate
Public Schools (CAPS) purposes.
As required by the SAPFO Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), all SAPFO parties
were informed of the proposed amendments on July 13, 2015 and provided the
opportunity to comment. Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) administration
presented the proposed amendments to the CHCCS Board of Education at its August 8,
2015 meeting and the Board had no comments. On August 4, 2015 the Chapel Hill
Town Council received the proposed amendments via email and offered no comments.
The Carrboro Board of Aldermen received the proposed amendments at its September
15, 2015 meeting and approved a resolution recommending adoption of the amended
student generation rates.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Consideration and approval will not create the need for additional
funding for the provision of County services.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is
applicable to this agenda item:
• GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY
The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding
necessary for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for
themselves and their dependents.
Efforts to approve the proposed amendments to the 2015 SAPFOTAC Report will result in
positive outcomes related to the above goal.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve the proposed
amendments contained in Attachment 1.
