(A) The Level of Service (LOS) Standard applied by this chapter is 100% of facility capacity.
(B) The Board of Commissioners shall set a student generation rate for the methodology set forth in the capacity formula, which is in turn set forth in LSSACF and such rate shall be applied to each new residential unit to which this chapter applies.
(C) If facility capacity for any school facility type (such as elementary, middle, or high) is exceeded or will be exceeded by the calculated impact of the proposed development, a CAPS shall not be issued and development and/or recordation of final plat shall not proceed, except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this chapter.
(D)
All building permit approval requests subject to this chapter will be submitted to the Administrator for a CAPS determination. The Administrator shall use the following formulas in establishing CAPS eligibility:
Current committed capacity + projected number of students generated associated with development proposal = projected student capacity
(1) Projected student capacity must be less than, or equal to, facility capacity for each facility type (such as: elementary, middle, and high) in order for CAPS to be issued, unless advancement of capacity is provided as specified in this chapter.
(2) Reserve capacity will be calculated on a monthly basis in a report to the County Manager by the Planning Director or designee. Student enrollment will be revised on a monthly basis (on the 30th day of each month) based on information received from Camden County Schools and reported to the County Manager or designee.
(3) Facility capacity will be updated yearly upon receipt by the county of the Superintendent’s report, using total membership data provided by each school.
(E) The applicant for a CAPS shall submit to the Administrator all information reasonably deemed necessary by the Administrator to determine whether a CAPS should be issued.
(F) An administrative fee of $25 per housing unit will be applied at the time of CAPS application. No CAPS application will be processed until this administrative fee is satisfied by cash or check.
(G) A CAPS certificate shall vest in the property owner to which it applies the right to build in accordance with this chapter; and shall insure to the benefit of such owner’s successors and assigns, and shall run with the land; provided, however, that a CAPS shall expire upon expiration of the preliminary plat approval or building permit for which it was issued in accordance with the provisions of G.S. § 153A-358.
