This change in underlying land use may necessitate the acquisition of new or additional equipment and hiring of additional personnel in order to adequately maintain acceptable standards of fire and police protection. Mitigation Measure #25: The applicant shall incorporate lighting, landscaping and other design features that reduce the potential for crime and facilitate rapid response to emergency calls in accordance with General Plan Policy 45.06. c) The proposed project could necessitate the expansion or construction of new school facilities which could result in a potentially significant impact. In January 2008, the San Leandro Unified School District issued a report titled, "2008 Developer Fee Justification Study." Pursuant to California Education Code Section 17620, the school district is allowed to assess fees on new residential construction to fund the construction of new school facilities. The school district hired a consultant (SchoolWorks) to review demographic trends in the school district and develop a justification for the fee the school district charges developers for new development. The study found that there currently exists a reasonable relationship between new residential development and the need for additional school facilities in the San Leandro Unified School District. To the extent that this relationship exists as demonstrated in the report, the school district is authorized for levying developer fees as authorized by. Education Code Section 17620. In their approval of the new developer fees, the school district made the following findings: " a) the purpose of the fees adopted and confirmed in this resolution is to fund the construction or reconstruction of school facilities; b) these fees will be used to fund the construction or reconstruction of school facilities needed to reduce overcrowding which exists in the District and impairs the normal functioning of educational programs; c) the overcrowding to be reduced by use of these fees exists because the enrollment project to result from continuing residential, commercial , or industrial construction exceeds the capacity of the District to provide adequate housing; d) the amount of fees to be paid pursuant to this resolution bears a reasonable relationship and is limited to the needs of the community for elementary or high school facilities and is reasonably related and limited to the need for schools caused by residential, commercial or industrial construction, and ; e) the amount of fees to be paid pursuant to this Resolution does not exceed the estimated reasonable costs of providing for the construction or reconstruction of school facilities necessitated by the construction projects from which the fees are to be collected. And be it further resolved, that the board adopts and levies the following fees upon any construction within the boundaries of the District for the construction or reconstruction of school facilities: A) $2.97 per square foot of all assessable residential space as defined by Government Code Section 65995(b)(1)." The school district is limited by State law to a maximum fee of $3.52 per square foot feet of residential development. The fees collected may be used for purchase or lease of interim school facilities, for purchase of lease land for school facilities, for construction modernization and reconstruction of school facilities, and for design, permit fees and school furniture. 2450 Washington Avenue Apartments 19 October 2011
