5. MITIGATION/DENIALS • Under School Concurrency, no developer has been required to provide mitigation in Palm Beach County • No application denials have occurred

6. UPDATES DUE TO STATUTE CHANGES • Change “Municipalities” to “Participating Municipalities” (now optional; 80% Rule) • Delete references to FAC Rule 9J5 (repealed) • Delete annual Comp Plan Amendment requirement—no longer required for: • CIP (by ordinance), or • CSA map (in support documents) • New Proportionate Share Mitigation provisions • Delete Charter School as a mitigation strategy (no longer State requirement) • Delete Suspension requirements • LOS Still 110%, but “Re-locatable” must now be counted per • Statute

7. Land Development Regulations(Subcommittee Recommended) Include a specific process for review of School District site plans. Include specific land development regulations that school district must adhere to in designing school sites. Include specific landscape language for school sites.

8. UPDATES DUE TO CHANGED CONDITIONS/PROCEDURES • Delete tiered LOS provisions (no longer needed to phase in Concurrency) • Update School Capacity Study provisions • Notify affected local government • Evaluate whether modular classrooms would be necessary • Add Age Restricted Community language • Update Development Review Table to reflect actual procedures ( Example attached) • Update population projection section (improved procedures & IPARC involvement)

9. SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES • Exclude “100% Choice” Schools without boundaries from School Concurrency • We can control enrollment by lottery • School enrollment is not affected by growth • Coordinated School Planning procedures • Use of electronic data sharing • Site plan process • Landscape Compromise Language • Update Annual Management and Monitoring Reports • Streamline, remove redundant functions • Combine with the October FTE Report

10. Hiatus from Meetings due to changes at the School Board • School Board does not have any funds for new capital projects that add capacity. • Boundary changes are now phased in and do not occur in a year, therefore enrollment relief to a school takes more than a year to occur. • CSAs are large therefore developers are very unlikely to mitigate under current provisions • LOS is calculated at school level instead of at CSA level

11. New Discussion • Calculate LOS per CSA at school level • Require the School Board to maintain the LOS by the fifth year of the Plan • Possibly modify the CSA to make them smaller, possibly coinciding with school boundaries.

12. Next Step • Process for obtaining information on which municipalities are interested in continuing school concurrency. • Presentation to the League • Presentation to individual Councils
