SCHOOL CONCURRENCY - LARGE SCALE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT Planning Director Wagner stated in 2005 the State Legislature added School Concurrency as a requirement for local communities to implement to ensure that there are adequate facilities available related to the impacts of growth. He briefly explained that residential developers who had to get a capacity enhancement agreement before will also have to make sure they meet school concurrency. As part of the implementation process, local governments will have to amend their Comprehensive Plan and enter into an Interlocal Agreement with Orange County Public Schools. The Interlocal Agreement will ensure that school concurrency is uniformly implemented throughout the County and will address the minimum requirements for school concurrency. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Development Review Committee met on May 5, 2008, and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the addition of a Public Schools Facilities Element, and additions to the Capital Improvement and Intergovernmental Coordination Elements to the Comprehensive Plan for the purpose of Implementing school concurrency. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission/Local Planning Agency recommend approval of the 1) addition of a Public Schools Facilities Element (PSFE) to the Comprehensive Plan, and 2) additions to the Intergovernmental Coordination Element and Capital Improvements Element (CIE) for the purpose of implementing school concurrency. DISCUSSION The Public Hearing was opened for School Concurrency - Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Julie Salvo, Representative from Orange County Public Schools, encouraged the board to vote for the School Concurrency proposal. She stated they have worked really hard with the City, Planners, and Attorney to put together a collaborative community effort and she believes it will be very beneficial for the County and the City of Ocoee. 3 Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting May 13, 2008 Member McKey asked several questions regarding the charts provided in the PSFE which Ms. Salvo was able to answer. Vice Chair Golden inquired about FISH and how the portables were counted as a permanent housing of the school. Ms. Salvo stated that FISH is a state wide database and the total FISH represents all the student stations at a school including the portables. For School Concurrency purposes they are using permanent FISH, which means just the student stations in the brick and mortar buildings since their goal is to try to reduce portables. Ms. Salvo briefly explained the school zone versus jurisdictional lines and who is affected by the School Currency, which is in accordance with the Florida Statutes. The Public Hearing was closed for School Concurrency - Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
