Santa Rita board adopts updated school facilities needs analysis; developer fees to rise
Summary
After a public hearing with no comments, the board approved an updated School Facilities Needs Analysis and set residential developer fees at $7.27 and commercial fees at $14.54 per square foot, passed 3‑0.
The Santa Rita Union School District board voted 3‑0 to adopt its updated School Facilities Needs Analysis (SFNA) and to increase statutory developer fees to $7.27 per square foot for residential development and $14.54 per square foot for commercial development.
The change follows a public hearing at which the district’s chief business officer presented the draft analysis and the board recorded that no public comments or written challenges were received. The fee rates were presented as the district-calculated collection rates ‘‘pursuant to our government code,’’ the CBO said during the hearing.
The SFNA is the district’s regular update of student enrollment projections, growth assumptions and facility needs that feed the formula used to set Level 2 and Level 3 developer fees for residential and commercial construction. The board opened the hearing, received the report, closed the hearing and then moved to adopt the resolution; the motion passed on a voice vote recorded as 3‑0.
Board members did not request amendments during the meeting. No effective date for the new collection rate was stated during the discussion; the CBO said the draft had been posted and advertised according to the district’s timeline and that no questions or objections had been submitted.
By law, school districts periodically update these analyses to justify developer fee levels that help pay for school capacity tied to new housing and commercial growth.
