Title
RESOLUTION FOR A ONE YEAR MORATORIUM ON EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IMPACT FEES
Description
Acting upon the request of the School Board of Sarasota County, on April 13, 2004, the Sarasota Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 2004-028 establishing county-wide school impact fees. The County Commission has amended the ordinance twice - on July 28, 2004, Ordinance 2004-085 clarified the affordable housing language, and on July 11, 2007, Ordinance 2007-056 amended the Credits section. The 2007-08 report (attached) documents the collections, reimbursements and allocations for the past four fiscal years. At this time the School Board asks that the County Commission institute a county-wide moratorium on the imposition of the Educational System Impact Fee for the period July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. Unless negated by a future Resolution of the School Board, the Educational System Impact Fee Ordinance shall resume July 1, 2010, in its current form.
Recommendation
That the School Board of Sarasota County requests that the Sarasota Board of County Commissioners institute a county-wide moratorium on the collection of the Educational System Impact Fee for all Principal Residential Uses where both (a) an application for the corresponding Building Permit is submitted to or accepted by the County or Municipality during the period July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010, and (b) the Certificate of Occupancy is issued on or before June 30, 2011. Unless negated by a future Resolution of the School Board, the Educational System Impact Fee Ordinance shall resume July 1, 2010, in its current form.
