School Board Meeting
Title

B7.01 - Approve the Proposed Proportionate Share Development Mitigation Agreement for Balm Grove East (PI# 5110 and School Concurrency # 698) (Operations Division)

Description

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 two phases, which includes 378 single family detached units, generating 73 elementary school students, 33 middle school students, and 52 high school students.

There is currently no available middle school capacity within the Shields 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.

Gap Analysis

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.  

Previous Outcomes

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.

Expected Outcomes

Proportionate Share Mitigation will be paid in order to meet the level of service per the Interlocal Agreement.  

Strategic Plan Goal

* Establish a strong foundation of financial stewardship

* Construct and maintain facilities that create an environment conducive to teaching and learning

Recommendation

Approve the Proposed Proportionate Share Development Mitigation Agreement for Balm Grove East (PI# 5110 and School Concurrency # 698).
