 Effective Dates: 4/14/2021
 Item Status:Routine
 
 Background:

This item is under consent as this is a routine item brought to the Board every year. This item authorizes SchoolWorks, Inc. to prepare a School Facility Needs Analysis (SFNA) to justify the maximum possible Level 2 developer fee for residential development allowed under SB50 in accordance with Government Code Sections 65995.5, 65995.6 and 65995.7. Currently, the District collects a Level 2 fee of $5.25 per square foot for residential development. 

 Rationale:

The Level 2 Fee (residential) is valid for a one-year period. An updated study must be prepared annually for the fee to remain in effect. 

 

Once the SFNA (residential fee) has been completed, the study will be brought to the Board as a first reading in August, and then for approval in September.

 Fiscal Impact:  

Total cost for the study is $8,500. Fund 25 (Developer Fees) will pay the cost of the study.
