'~ Vesting Tentative Map-8010 8 March 2, 2009 <br />facilities, for purchase of lease land for school facilities, for construction modernization and <br />reconstruction of school facilities, and for design, permit fees and school furniture. <br />California State Assembly Bill 2926-School Facilities Act of 19~AB 2926) - In 1986, AB <br />2926 was enacted by the State of California, authorizing entities to levy statutory fees on new <br />residential and commercial development in order to pay for school facilities. AB 2926, entitled <br />the "School Facilities Act of 1986," was expanded and revised in 1987 through passage of AB <br />1600, which added Section 66000 et seq. of the Government Code. Under this statute, payment <br />of statutory fees by developers would serve as total CEQA mitigation to satisfy the impact of <br />development on school facilities. <br />California Senate Bill 50 (SB 50~ -The passage of SB 50 in 1998 defined the Needs Analysis <br />process in Government Code Sections 65995.5 to 65998, thus providing the requirements that a <br />school district must articulate when identifying expansion programs. Under the provisions of SB <br />50, school districts may collect fees to offset the casts associated with increasing school capacity <br />as a result of development. The fees--referred to as Level One fees--are assessed based upon the <br />proposed square footage of residential, commerciaUindustrial, and/or parking structure uses. <br />Level Two fees require the developer to provide one-half of the costs of accommodating students <br />in new schools, while the State would provide the other half. Level Three fees require the <br />development to pay the full cost of accommodating the students in new schools and would be <br />implemented at the time the funds available from Proposition lA (approved by the voters in <br />1998) are expended. School districts must demonstrate to the State their long-term facilities <br />needs and costs based on long-term population growth in order to qualify for this source of <br />funding. However, voter approval of Proposition SS on March 2, 2004, precludes the imposition <br />of the Level Three fees for the foreseeable future. Therefore, once qualified, districts may impost <br />only Level Two fees as calculated according to SB 50. <br />The applicant will pay approximately $338,000.00 to the San Leandro School District pursuant to <br />the developer fee schedule developed by the District for The Alameda. This will serve as the <br />complete mitigation of all school impacts associated with this development. <br />Regional Housing Needs Allocation <br />In terms of the housing allocation for all cities, the Department of Housing and Community <br />Development-based on population growth estimates and income estimates-determines how many <br />housing units and what types are needed per each metropolitan region. The local association of <br />governments, which is the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) in the City of San <br />Leandro case, then determines what each local jurisdiction must produce. According to the <br />ABAG's website, the Bay Area will grow from its current 7 million to about 9 million people <br />from 2007-2014. As a result San Leandro's housing unit allocation for the period 2007-1014 is to <br />add 1,630 new homes, including nearly 600 affordable homes for low and very low income <br />households. This allocation has nearly doubled from the 870 total units assigned for the last <br />planning period from 1999-2007. Each city's Housing Element must address the affordable <br />housing issue and lay the groundwork for meeting it. The proposed project helps the City of San <br />Leandro meet its mandated housing requirements. <br />
