School Concurrency Vesting for Un- Platted Residential Subdivisions Approved Prior to School Concurrency. (City Planner Rumer) In 2008, the City Commission adopted a new element into the Comprehensive Plan which implemented School Concurrency in the City of Ocoee. This element discusses procedures for timing when new residential developments are required to obtain concurrency from the Orange County School Board. Concurrency ensures there is sufficient capacity in the school system to accommodate the anticipated amount of students the proposed development will generate. Developments that have received site plan approval pursuant to a specific development order prior to the adoption of the school concurrency element by the City Commission are not required to obtain concurrency from OCPS. Nine (9) developments have received approval from the City Commission prior to the adoption of concurrency. Projects that have received a fmal plat are exempt and records of the plat are available on the Orange County Comptroller's website. Staff has prepared a list and a map noting the location and type of approval for each development for your information. Since these developments were approved prior to the adoption of school concurrency, the developments are vested from the requirements of school concurrency and will not be required to obtain concurrency from OCPS. Staff will provide written notification to both the School Board and the Developers of the nine (9) developments. 8. Discussion Re: Golf Cart Ordinance. (Police Chief Brown) On June 1, 2010, Chief of Police Charles J. Brown addressed the honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners regarding the feasibility of a golf cart ordinance within the city limits of Ocoee.
