Chapter 15 APFO Draft #3 - Update Susie Morris, Planning and Zoning Manager, reviewed Chapter 15 of the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO), draft number three. She said the consultant, Mr. Mark White, is reviewing the proposed changes: 1) to clarify there are multiple schools districts involved in the review process; 2) to include the use of the term "Development Agreement"; and 3) to include language that identifies a course of action for projects that do not have capacity at the five year test. She also said the Reservation of Capacity Certificates that will be presented later in the meeting are based on the draft language. Richard Koch, County Attorney, commented on the use of the term "Development Agreement" which is also found in Chapter 153A-349 and addresses projects greater than 25 acres in size. He also stated the intent of the new text is to capture the minimum amount of lots that can be developed in two ways (number of units or percentage) and tie it to the minor subdivision standards. John Day, County Manager, pointed out text amendments are considered by the Planning and Zoning Board before they are presented to the Commissioners. A discussion ensued related to the following issues: lack of understanding in the Building Community about the original draft; having the APFO Stakeholder's committee provide comments on the proposed amendment before the April 17, 2008 Planning and Zoning Board meeting; what happens to projects that are caught in the middle of the changes; etc. Chairman White asked to have the APFO Stakeholder's committee review and comment on the proposed text amendment and to have the results provided to the Commissioners. Mr. Day also suggested the committee's comments be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board.
