Consultant SchoolWorks presented a developer-fee study recommending the district adopt state maximum Level 1 fees ($5.38/residential sq ft; $0.87 commercial) and projected roughly $3 million a year in collections depending on market activity; the board opened and closed the public hearing and later adopted a fee resolution.

The full story

The Antioch Unified School District held a public hearing Oct. 28 on a developer-fee justification study and a proposed update to Level 1 school facilities fees. SchoolWorks consultant Ken Reynolds explained the state-adjusted maximum is $5.38 per square foot for residential development and $0.87 per square foot for commercial/industrial development. He noted the study's internal calculation suggested a higher theoretical nexus ($7.57 residential), but the district may only levy up to the state maximum.
