7.4 Public Hearing: Developer Fee Justification Report.
It is recommended that the Board adjourn to a public hearing in order to receive comments from the public regarding the Developer Fee Justification Report.
To participate in the Hardship Application process of the State School Facilities Program, a District is required to collect the legally permitted amount of Developer Fees.
Currently our District collects $1.84 per square foot for residential development and 30 cents per square foot for commercial development. As of January 2000, the legally permitted amount was raised to $2.05 per sq. ft. for residential development and 33 cents for commercial development.
Last spring, the District retained the services of School Facility Consultants to assist the District in the development of a Facilities Master Plan. The same firm was retained by the District to assist with our Hardship Application once it became apparent that we could qualify for hardship. A component associated with both processes is the generation of a School Facility Fee Justification Report. Essentially, the report details the facilities needs of the district and the costs associated to provide adequate housing for students.
Notice to increase Developer Fees was published twice over a ten-day period in the Antelope Valley Press. A draft of this report has been available for review at the District Office since the initial publication date.
