"The proposal, known as an adequate public facilities ordinance, would require that plenty of school space exist before new developments could be approved. Kitchen presented the draft during a meeting of the joint city and county committee, which consists of members of the City Council and county Board of Commissioners. The proposal would set a "maximum capacity" for schools in Durham County. That would set the maximum load of students that facilities such as cafeterias, restrooms and gyms could handle. A similar ordinance is under consideration in Orange County."
