The following formula shall be used to determine school impact fees:

IF:

A =

Student factor for dwelling unit type and grade span × site cost per student for sites for facilities in that grade span = full cost fee for site acquisition cost

B =

Student factor for dwelling unit type and grade span × school construction cost per student for facilities in that grade span × ratio of district’s square footage of permanent facilities to total square footage of facilities = full cost fee for school construction

C =

Student factor for dwelling unit type and grade span × relocatable facilities cost per student for facilities in that grade span × ratio of district’s square footage of relocatable facilities to total square footage of facilities = full cost fee for relocatable facilities

D =

Student factor for dwelling unit type and grade span “Boeckh Index” × SPI square feet per student factor × state match % = state match credit, and

A1, B1, C1, D1 =

A, B, C, D for elementary grade spans

A2, B2, C2, D2 =

A, B, C, D for middle/junior high grade spans

A3, B3, C3, D3 =

A, B, C, D for high school grade spans

TC =

Tax payment credit = the net present value of the average assessed value in the district for unit type × current school district capital property tax levy rate, using a 10-year discount period and current interest rate (based on the bond buyer twenty bond general obligation bond index).

FC =

Facilities credit = The per-dwelling-unit value of any site or facilities provided directly by the development

THEN the unfunded

need =

UN=A1 + ... + C -

(D1-D2-D3) - TC

AND the developer fee obligation =

F=UN/2

AND the net fee

obligation =

NF = F-FC

Notes:

1.Student factors are to be provided by the district based on district records of average actual student generation rates for new developments constructed over a period of not more than five years prior to the date of the fee calculation; if such information is not available in the district, data from adjacent districts, districts with similar demographics, or countywide averages must be used. Student factors must be separately determined for single-family and multifamily dwelling units, and for grade spans.

2.The “Boeckh Index” is a construction trade index of construction costs for various kinds of buildings; it is adjusted annually.

3.The district is to provide its own site and facilities standards and projected costs to be used in the formula, consistent with the requirements of this chapter.

4.The formula can be applied by using the following table:

TABLE FOR CALCULATING SCHOOL IMPACT FEE OBLIGATIONS FOR RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS

(To be separately calculated for single-family and multifamily units)

A1 =

Elementary school site cost per student × the student factor

= _____

A2 =

Middle/junior high school site cost per student × student factor

= _____

A3 =

High school site cost per student × student factor

= _____

A =

A1+A2+A3

= _____

B1 =

Elementary school construction cost per student × the student factor

= _____

B2 =

Middle/junior high school construction cost per student × the student factor

= _____

B3 =

High school construction cost per student × the student factor

= _____

B =

(B1+B2+B3) × (Square footage of permanent facilities) / (total square footage of facilities)

= _____

C1 =

Elementary school relocatable facility cost per student × student factor

= _____

C2 =

Middle/junior high school relocatable facility cost per student × student factor

= _____

C3 =

High school relocatable facility cost per student × student factor

= _____

C =

(C1+C2+C3) × (Square footage of permanent facilities) / (total square footage of facilities)

= _____

D1 =

Boeckh Index × SPI square footage per student for elementary school × state match % × student factor

= _____

D2 =

Boeckh Index × SPI square footage per student for middle/junior high school × state match % × student factor

= _____

D3 =

Boeckh Index × SPI square footage per student for high school × state match % × student factor

= _____

D =

D1+D2+D3

= _____

TC =

(((1+i)10)-1) / (i(1+i)10 )

× average assessed value for the dwelling unit type in the school district

= _____

× current school district capital property tax levy rate where i = the current interest rate as stated in the Bond Buyer 20 general obligation bond index

FC =

(Value of site or facilities provided directly by the development) / (number of dwelling units in development)

Total unfunded need = A+B+C-D-TC =

____________ A

+ ____________ B

+ ____________ C

- ____________ D

- ___________ TC

Total unfunded need UN =
