Status:
Adopt Resolution No. 11-55, which recommends that the Broward County Board of County Commissioners should amend the Broward County Land Development Code to include recommendations made in the "School Impact Fee Study” dated October 21, 2010.
The Amended Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning (ILA) and School Board Policy 1161, require that an update to the student generation rates and school impact fees shall be conducted by the School Board in coordination with Broward County and the Municipalities at least every three years. On February 12, 2008, the School Board approved the recommendations contained in the "Student Generation Rate/School Impact Fee Study Phase II, Final Report, December 2007", (Phase II Study), via Resolution No. 08-48, and recommended that the Broward County Board of County Commissioners should amend the Broward County Land Development Code (BCLDC) to include recommendations contained in the Study. Subsequently, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners approved amendment of the BCLDC to include the recommendations and in June 2008, the current student generation rates and school impact fees became effective.
To comply with the provisions of the Amended ILA and School Board Policy 1161, the School Board on April 21, 2009, approved the selection of Duncan Associates to conduct and update the Phase II Study. During the update to the Phase II Study, the School District ensured that the update was coordinated with Broward County and the Municipalities. Additionally, Duncan Associates made power point presentations regarding update of the Phase II Study to the School Board, the Oversight Committee for the implementation of the Amended ILA, the School District’s Facilities Task Force, the general public at a workshop that included the development community, the Broward County Planning Council (BCPC), and the Broward League of Cities. Concerns stated during these presentations were as applicable incorporated into the update to the Phase II Study, and the result is the "School Impact Fee Study” dated October 21, 2010, and the Ordinance proposed in Attachment “A”.
Therefore, it is recommended that the School Board should approve and transmit Resolution No. 11-55 which recommends that the Broward County Board of County Commissioners should amend the BCLDC to include pertinent recommendations stated on Page 43 of the “School Impact Fee Study” dated October 21, 2010, regarding the updated student generation rates and school impact fees schedules, and similarly, the Proposed School Impact Fee Ordinance Amendments depicted in Attachment “A”. It should be noted that the next update to the subject Study will commence no later than three years from the effective adoption date of the recommended updated student generation rates and school impact fees schedules.
There is no financial impact to the school district. This item does not require a collaboration form from the Capital Budget Department.
