This proposed development will have an impact on capital facilities. Staff has calculated the fiscal impact of every new dwelling unit on schools, roads, parks, libraries and fire stations at $21,261 per unit. The original zoning (Case 05SN0320) was approved in October 2005 with a density of 40 units and with the maximum cash proffer at the time of $15,600 per dwelling units (currently escalated by the Marshall and Swift Building Cost Index to $22,245 per unit). The applicant has requested to reduce the previously approved cash proffers of $15,600 (currently escalated to $22,245) to the current maximum of $18,966 per unit. These cash proffers would defray the cost of the capital facilities necessitated by this proposed development. Based on the number the remaining units to be built, this amended cash proffer would only apply to the remaining 34 units to be built. The current Cash Proffer Policy allows the County to assess the impact of all dwelling units in previously approved zoning cases that come back before the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors using the calculated capital facility costs in effect at the time the case is reconsidered. If accepted, the amended cash proffer would remain at $18,966 for a period of four years after which it would be escalated by the cumulative change in the Marshall and Swift Building Cost Index, a provision recently adopted by the Board of Supervisors. While appropriate to maintain the cash proffer of $15,600 (currently escalated to $22,245) approved with Case 05SN0320, the Board of Supervisors has set the current maximum cash proffer at $18,966, an amount lower than the escalated cash proffer amount approved with the original case. Note that circumstances relevant to this case as presented by the applicant have been reviewed, and it has been determined that it is appropriate to accept the maximum cash proffer of $18,966 for each dwelling unit. 715SN0628-2015MAY27-BOS-RPT Per Dwelling Unit Impact on Capital Facilities (1) 34 Potential Units Facility Cash Proffer on Existing Applicant's Proposal FY15 Calculated Impact Categories Zoning (Current BOS Maximum) Total $21,261 $22,245 $18,966 Overall Impact on Capital Facilities Schools $318,784 $339,558 $284,376 Parks$45,118 $45,968 $40,256 Libraries $11,560 $13,600 $10,302 Fire $26,724 $22,236 $23,834 Stations Roads $320,688 $347,276 $286,076 Total $722,874 $768,638 $644,844 (1) Based on the number of remaining units to be built 815SN0628-2015MAY27-BOS-RPT PUBLIC FACILITIES FIRE SERVICE Staff Contact: Greg Smith (804-706-2012) smithgd@chesterfield.gov The mission of Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is to protect life, property and the environment through a comprehensive fire and life safety program that ensures an adequate and timely response to emergencies.
