This is the APFO overview presented to HoCo State Delegation Work Session.
Some slides :
- Each year a 6-year capital improvement plan (CIP) is adopted by the County Council
- The CIP covers roads, schools, fire, police, parks, libraries, community college, water and sewer, stormwater, and other county facilities
- Based on general plan and individual department plan objectives
- There are 3 test associated with APFO – 1) Allocations, 2) Schools, 3) Roads
- Allocations test is conducted at initial plan stage approval
- Schools test conducted once plan has allocations
- For roads test, traffic study must be conducted, and adverse impacts must be mitigated by developer
Recent changes to APFO
- Major change is lowering capacity utilization rate to 105% for ES, 110% for MS, and added HS test at 115% — effective in July 2019
- Other significant changes include:
- exempting moderate income housing units from needing allocations
- a stricter roads test
- adjusting allocations in the Growth & Revit. and Est. Comm. areas and eliminating shared pool
- allowing the County Council by resolution to exempt LIHTC projects from Schools Test
Here is the heat map for future development. Look at those blue dots scattering around.
