approvals due to a failure to achieve and maintain the adopted level of service for public school capacity where: a.

Adequate school facilities are available in an adjacent concurrency service area and the impacts of residential and residential mixed- use development can be shifted to that area; or, c. The developer executes a legally binding development agreement to provide mitigation proportionate to the demand for public school facilities to be created by the actual impact of the proposed residential and residential mixed- use development application subject to the final subdivision plat or site plan approval ( or the functional equivalent) as provided in the Interlocal Agreement. In evaluating a final subdivision plat or residential or mixed use residential site plans for concurrency, any relevant programmed improvements in the current year and years 2 or 3 of the 5- year schedule of improvements shall be considered available capacity for the project and factored into the level of service analysis. Any relevant programmed improvements in years 4 or 5 of the 5- year schedule of improvements shall not be considered available capacity for the project unless funding for the improvement is assured, through School Board funding through proportionate fair share mitigation or some other means.- Relocatable classrooms may provide temporary capacity while funded schools or school expansions are being constructed. 7. Final Subdivision Plat and Site Plan Approval Standards: In the event that the School Board comments that there is not sufficient capacity in the affected concurrency service area to address the impacts of a proposed residential and residential mixed- use development, the following standards shall apply. Either (i) the site plan or final subdivision plat must provide capacity enhancement sufficient to meet its impacts through fair share mitigation; or (ii) the site plan or final subdivision plat must be delayed to a date when capacity enhancement and level of service can be assured; or( iii) a condition of approval of the site plan or final subdivision plat shall be that the project' s development plan and/ or building permits shall be delayed to a date when capacity enhancement and level of service can be assured. The amount of mitigation required shall be determined by the Department of Education' s most current cost per student station applicable to Okaloosa County. Policy PS- 1. 5. 2: Options for providing fair share mitigation for any approval of additional residential dwelling units that triggers a failure of level of service for public school capacity shall include the following: 1. Contribution of, or payment for, acquisition of new or expanded school sites; and/ or Okaloosa County Goals Policies and Objectives 12 September 31, 2007 Public School Facilities Element Deliverable  2. Construction or expansion of permanent school facilities; and/ or 3. Explore the creation of a mitigation 9 bank servingg the designated gated areas based on the construction of a public school facility. Mitigation shall be directed to projects on the School Board' s Work Plan that the School Board agrees will satisfy the demand created by that development approval, and shall be assured by a legally binding development agreement between the School Board, the County, and the applicant executed prior to the issuance of the final subdivision plat, site plan approval or the functional. equivalent. If the School Board agrees to the mitigation, the School Board must commit in the agreement by placing the improvement required for mitigation in its Work Plan. This development agreement shall include the landowner's commitment to continuing renewal of the development agreement for required mitigation, until all impacts for public school facilities created by the actual development of the property are mitigated. Policy PS- 1. 5. 3: The amount of mitigation required shall be determined by calculating the number of student stations for each school type for which there is not sufficient capacity using the student generation rates applicable to a particular type of residential or residential mixed use development and multiplying by the DOE costs per student station for each school type applicable to Okaloosa County, as determined by the School Board, in addition to any land costs for new or expanded school sites, if applicable. Objective PS- 1. 6: Funding The School Board with cooperation from the County and the developer will collaborate to find means to ensure sufficient capacity will exist to accommodate residential or residential mixed use development at the time of impact through proportionate fair share, developer contributions, project phasing or developer provided facility improvements as a way to realize the cost of new residential and residential mixed- use development and its impact on land use in regards to the ability of the School Board to provide adequate facilities, as needed. Policy PS- 1. 6. 1: Once the School Board has determined how it will meet the anticipated enrollment demand when capacity has been maximized, including available capacity or lack thereof in contiguous concurrency service areas, then the County will collaborate with the School Board to determine the necessity to establish alternate funding sources within next year's cycle of the Work Program and Capital Improvements schedule adoption process. Uniform district-wide concurrency standards by school type must be maintained. This policy shall not be construed to obligate or require the County to fund the School Board Work Plan.
