Rio School District board adopts higher developer fees to fund facilities
Summary
The Rio School District Board adopted Resolution No. 24/25-07 after a public hearing with no speakers, increasing statutory developer fees to $5.17 per sq. ft. for residential (Rio's share $3.67) and $0.84 per sq. ft. for commercial/industrial and senior housing (Rio's share $0.60).
The Rio School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously to adopt Resolution No. 24/25-07, raising statutory developer mitigation fees following a review of the district's School Facilities Needs Analysis and Developer Fee Justification Study. The board set the statutory residential fee at $5.17 per square foot, with the district portion equal to $3.67 per square foot; it set the statutory commercial/industrial and senior housing fee at $0.84 per square foot, with Rio's portion at $0.60 per square foot.
President Kristine Anderson opened a public hearing on the fee study at 6:23 p.m.; no members of the public spoke during the hearing. On a motion by Trustee Felix Eisenhauer and a second by Trustee Alesia Martin, the board voted 4-0 to adopt the resolution. Board members did not record additional conditions or amendments as part of the adoption.
The fee adjustments follow the district's statutorily required study process under Government Code Section 65995 and are intended to align developer mitigation with the district's updated assessment of facilities needs. The board did not specify an effective date in the meeting record; implementation timing and administrative steps were not detailed in the discussion at the meeting.
