NOW THEREFORE HE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Commisaionera of Cabarrua County that the following policy ie established to address school adequacy when reviewing new residential development: • All new residential developments that require plan approval by the Cabarrua County Planning & Zoning Commission shall be reviewed for the adequacy of public services and facilities including school facilities. This review shall include existing school capacity as ' well as the additional capacity of echoola under construction or for which funding of construction has been approved. In addition, the review shall include the existing enrollment and estimated enrollment based on previously approved development. School adequacy shall be defined as that estimated enrollment not exceeding 110 of capacity ae determined by the Kannapolia and Cabarrua School Systems. • Where school facilities will not be adequate based on existing and projected enrollment, new development will be expected to address this inadequacy based on the coat incurred by Cabarrua County for school capital facilities. The Board of Commisaionera may consider direct or indirect contributions to the adequacy of echoola in the form of cash contributions, dedication of land in a suitable area based on the Cabarrua County Schools 15 Year Plan, or infrastructure improvements that will directly benefit school sites. A combination of these methods may also be considered. In no case shall the value of the contribution be less than 50~ of the incurred capital coat of $8067 which is $4034 for single family units. The student generation rate for multi-family unite is approximately 1/3 that of the generation rate of single family homes based on a Commerce Department survey of Cabarrua housing and based on national studies. Therefore the value of contribution for multifamily and townhouse units shall not be less than 33b of the single family contribution or $1331 per unit. The capital coat, and therefore the required value of contribution shall be indexed annually to reflect changes in the cost of construction. The annual construction index shall be ' based on the Turner Building Cost Index and the ENR Building Cost Index and the re-calculated rate shall be publicized. • Any method proposed to addreae school adequacy whether through monetary contribution, land donation or services shall be paid or completed prior to the issuance of any affected building permit within the subject development. The method to address adequacy and requirement that it shall be completed prior to building permits being issued shall be included in the Consent Agreement. • New development within the corporate limits of any of the cities located in Cabarrua County shall also be subject to the adequacy review through the Cabarrua County Subdivision Requlationa Chapter 4, Section 17 "Adequate Public Facilities Standards" as provided for by Session Law 2004-39, House Bill 224, which became effective June 30, 2004. This review shall include existing school capacity as well as the additional capacity of schools under construction or for which funding of construction has been approved. In addition, the review shall include the existing enrollment and estimated enrollment based on previously approved development.
