B7.02 - Approve the Proposed Proportionate Share Development Mitigation Agreement for Belmond Reserve (PI# 4999 and School Concurrency # 673) (Operations Division)
In 2008, each of the four local governments in Hillsborough County, in conjunction with the School Board, adopted school concurrency programs. A school concurrency program is designed to ensure that adequate school facilities are in place or under construction within three years of the impact of new residential development. The Hillsborough County Public Schools' (HCPS) school concurrency system tracks future residential growth and its impact on school capacity to ensure the District is able to maintain the adopted level of service (LOS). The LOS in Hillsborough County is that schools will not exceed 100% of the Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) capacity.
If the impact of a new residential development causes a school to exceed the adopted LOS and no adjacent school has capacity to accommodate the projected new students, a proportionate share development mitigation agreement may be entered into by the School District, local jurisdiction, and developer. This agreement requires the developer to pay to construct the new school capacity needed to meet the LOS in order to move forward with their development proposal. The agreement includes three phases, which includes 361 single family detached units, generating 70 elementary school students, 32 middle school students, and 49 high school students.
There is currently no available elementary school capacity for 16 students or 32 middle school capacity within the Summerfield Elementary School attendance boundary or Barrington Middle School attendance boundary (concurrency service area) or in the adjacent concurrency service area, and this proportionate share mitigation agreement is needed to allow the residential project to move forward.
Florida Statute and the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) provides for a proportionate share mitigation agreement as a mechanism for developers to meet the required level of service.
Per Florida Statute and the ILA, the School Board has approved previous proportionate share mitigation agreements that have been fulfilled by receipt of the mitigation payment.
Proportionate Share Mitigation will be paid in order to meet the level of service per the Interlocal Agreement.
* Establish a strong foundation of financial stewardship
* Construct and maintain facilities that create an environment conducive to teaching and learning
