The District has evaluated proposed new development within the Town of Los Gatos ( "Town ") and has determined that new residential development will continue to cause overcrowding in its schools, and no other feasible mitigations are available to reduce the overcrowding. This letter and attachments provide the District's Notice of Findings for Overcrowding ( "Notice ") to you, the Town Council Members and the Planning Commissioners. This Notice sets forth the District's findings and evidence in support of those findings pursuant to Government Code section 65971 along with the completed application to the Office of Public School Construction for preliminary determination of eligibility. To remedy the District's concerns of overcrowding, the School Facilities Act permits the Town, by ordinance, to require the dedication of land, the Payment of fees in lieu thereof, or a combination of both, for classroom and related facilities as a condition to the approval of residential development. We request that the Town, after receipt of this notice and pursuant to Government Code sections 65970 et seq., submit to the District the approved ordinance for additional developer fees as outlined in this Notice. Thank you for your prompt consideration of this request. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Diana G. Abbati, Ed.D.

The District operates five schools including: Blossom Hill Elementary, Daves Avenue Elementary, Lexington Elementary, Louise Van Meter Elementary, and R. J. Fisher Middle School. Enrollment has grown annually from 2,587 students in the 2006 -2007 school year to 3,345 students in the 2014 -2015 school year. The most likely cause of growth was from a positive net migration of families with school age children moving into the District. While mobility rates (e.g., the gauge of net migration) continue to be positive, the known and active residential developments along with some speculative projects will likely result in an increase in overall student population and continue to overcrowd our schools. Based on the California Department of Education ( "CDE ") recommended acreage for school sites, it is a fact that the district today would benefit from an additional seven acres of land to properly house our current student enrollment and right -size our K -8 campuses (see Table 1). In addition, total enrollment at our school sites exceeds the recommended acreage capacity by 324 students. In the District's Demographic Study (2014), the demographers project enrollment to increase by another 305 students due to new development within district boundaries. Subsequently, the District will need to plan for additional facilities. More specifically, the District would need an additional six acres of land above the already mentioned seven acres to educate new students generated by development based on CDE recommended acreage. As a remedy, the enactment of the School Facilities Act - Government Code sections 65970 et seq. permits a city or town to impose additional mitigation obligations on residential development to alleviate the impact of overcrowding in schools. The Governing Board of the Los Gatos Union School District submits this Notice of Findings for Overcrowding (`Notice of Findings "), supported by clear and convincing evidence required by Government Code section 65971, and requests the Town to remedy the District's concerns by imposing additional mitigation obligations on residential development to alleviate the impact of overcrowding in schools caused by new development. The proposed development mitigation schedule (see Table 6) is based on the cost to obtain six acres of land to house 305 additional students. The schedule does not take into consideration future construction and program costs that the District will continue to plan for. The proceeds from additional developer fees would be used to expand school facilities for increased enrollment. 3113 age LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17, 2015 OVERVIEW - SCHOOL FACILITIES ACT Through the enactment of the School Facilities Act - Government Code sections 65970 et seq., the California Legislature has declared its intent regarding overcrowding of schools caused by residential development and has clearly acknowledged that: a) Adequate school facilities should be available for children residing in new residential developments. b) Public and private residential developments may require the expansion of existing public schools or the construction of new school facilities. c) Funds for the construction of new classroom facilities are not available when new development occurs, resulting in the overcrowding of existing schools. d) New housing developments frequently cause conditions of overcrowding in existing school facilities, which cannot be alleviated under existing law within a reasonable period of time. To remedy these concerns, Government Code sections 65970 et seq. permits a city or town to impose additional mitigation obligations on residential developers to alleviate the impact of overcrowding in schools caused by new development. However, before a developer may be required to dedicate land or pay a fee in lieu thereof pursuant to sections 65970 through 65981, the governing board of a school district which operates an elementary or high school shall make the written findings, supported by clear and convincing evidence, required by Government Code section 65971 and notify the city or town council of its findings. The findings required by section 65791 include: 1. That conditions of overcrowding exist in one or more attendance areas within the district that will impair the normal functioning of educational programs, including the reason for the existence of those conditions (i.e., new residential development); and 2. That all reasonable methods of mitigating conditions of overcrowding have been evaluated and no feasible method for reducing those conditions exists. The District has evaluated proposed new development within the Town of Los Gatos, and has determined that new residential development will cause additional overcrowding in its schools and no other feasible mitigations are available to reduce the overcrowding. 4 1 P a g e LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17, 2015 FACTUAL BACKGROUND SECTION 1: THE DISTRICT AND ITS FACILITIES The Los Gatos Union School District, located within the boundaries of the Town of Los Gatos, serves over 3,300 students in transitional kindergarten through eighth grade. The District operates five schools, including: Blossom Hill Elementary, Daves Avenue Elementary, Lexington Elementary, Louise Van Meter Elementary, and R. J. Fisher Middle School. I. Size and capacity of Districfacilities The District has grown annually from 2,587 students in the 2006 -2007 school year to 3,345 students in the 2014 -2015 school year. During this timeframe there was only a minimal amount of new housing units built within the District boundaries, suggesting growth was caused by other factors rather than new development. The most likely cause of growth (see Attachment E — District's Demographic Study, 2014) was from a positive net migration of families with school age children moving into the District. While mobility rates (e.g., the gauge of net migration) continue to be positive, the known and active residential developments along with some speculative projects are expected to result in an increase in overall student population. Next, local control and parental prerogative, two hallmarks of the state's new transitional kindergarten program, has also increased enrollment across the District's elementary schools. Transitional kindergarten was offered for the first time in the 2012 -13 school year requiring the District to offer transitional kindergarten to children with fifth birthdays beginning in September. This change in the law requires a new program to educate these children for up to two years of kindergarten before moving graduating these students to first grade. In fact, as families become more familiar with the option of choosing transitional kindergarten instead of private preschools, additional classroom spaces will be needed to alleviate for overcrowding in kindergarten. Furthermore, the Town of Los Gatos may not be aware of the recent territory transfer petition from the Union School District to the Los Gatos Union School District. The application is currently under review by the Santa Clara County Committee on School District Organization for the territory transfer of 59 parcels. While the petitioners contend that the properties would only add five public school students, the petitioner does not cite non - public school students who live within this territory and may wish to attend the District's schools. The District predicts that the 59 properties can generate up to 23 new students based on the District's student generation factor of 0.386. Any students generated from the approval of this territory would add to the District's overcrowding at our elementary and middle schools. 2. Policies related to school bond measures and school programs On June 5, 2001, Measure B, a $91 million local bond measure to raise local funds to finance critically needed repairs and upgrades of our five schools was approved by 84.4% of the voters to build new classrooms to relieve severe overcrowding and allow for class -size reduction. Former Town of Los Gatos Mayor Joanne Benjamin (2001) in support of Measure B stated, 5 1 Page LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17, 2015 "Our schools have a well- deserved reputation for quality academic programs. But our school facilities have aged io the point that they are affecting teaching and learning. " (See Attachment F- Important Information Abort Measure B, 1001) Furthermore, in 2009 Los Gatos residents approved a 530.9 million local bond measure. This additional bond measure was needed to accommodate increasing student enrollment by creating additional classrooms and school facilities to avoid overcrowding, and at the same time, maintain class -size to the Los Gatos community standards. For over a decade, the District has experienced increased student enrollment all the while maintaining its reputation of excellence with limited resources. Quality schools mean quality neighborhoods. It is a fact that the resale value of homes in the Los Gatos community is directly affected by the quality of schools. Increasing enrollment at any of our five schools — even a small number — wilI impact the District's facility needs and will disrupt the educational program quality for current and future students. The California Department of Education ( "CDE ") recommended guidelines for acreage for an elementary and middle school site are noted below: Table 1: LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT STATE OF FACILITIES — SPRING 2015 Source: Apachment B — Office of Public School Construction Application, 4113115 School Site Current "G Recommended Current CUE Recommended Overcrowded Acreage Overcrowded Enrollment Acrea a Acrea a Enrollment Enrollment +/_ +!- Blossom HBI 10.59 11.85 675 616 1.26 +59 students Daves Lexin 8.49 10.09 575 489 1.60 +86 students on Van Meter 5.00 8.50 2.89 11.77 165 298 2.11 133 students Fisher 23.13 26.37 671 1,235 49l 3.27 +180 students 1,103 NET OVERCROWDING ACREAGE/ENROLLMENT 3.24 +132 students 7.26 acres +324 students As depicted in Table t, our school facilities are overcrowded to the point that they are affecting teaching and teaming in the 21"century. In fact, the additional 324 students warrants additional land needed to build a new school, specifically 7.26 acres. Facilities and continued modernization are needed to ensure a quality and competitive learning environment for our students. For example, our classrooms are inadequate for today's instruction. We have limited classroom facility space for science labs, literacy centers, music and art classrooms — and even when we adjust and make due with what we have — our cafeterias and multipurpose rooms are not right -sized for the number of students enrolled at each school. In order to provide a sustainable learning environment in which our students can continue to learn and achieve academically, socially and emotionally, we need the facilities to provide quality educational programs that support: 6 1 P a g e LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17, 2015 I. Reduced class size; 2. Flexible learning environments (e.g., STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics); and 3. Modernized indoor and outdoor physical education spaces. 3. Policies related to educational equity and school structure, school size and overcrowding Over the years, the District has used its resources from surplus property and developer fees to build and modernize facilities. Schools are valued as a community asset for both the families who attend our schools as well as a priority by our community members as evidenced by the passage of local bond measures (see Attachment F — Important Information About Aleasure B, 2001). It is a known fact that the quality of the learning environment significantly impacts student achievement. No child should have to wait years before its school is brought up to the Los Gatos standard of excellence. The District is not only overcrowded by State standards (see Table 2), but the District is overcrowded by Los Gatos standards and will need 20 new classrooms within the next five years and 23 new classrooms in the next ten years to meet our local loading ratios (see Table 3 and Table 4). Furthermore, sociological theory has confirmed and identified the organizational characteristics of effective schools. Substantial evidence supports which responses to school overcrowding are appropriate, specifically reducing class size and building more schools rather than adding portable classrooms. For example, in school climate studies, connections be teachers are more positive when linked to smaller schools. Hence, enroll than and an size students important feature for determining the program quality of any educational organization. After a decade of construction and modernization, class size in the District has increased from 20 to 24 students in grades K -3, and from 25 to 29 students in grades 4 -8 due to the lack of resources and classroom space to reduce class size. By far the most compelling evidence to reduce class size's positive effects on academic achievement comes from hundreds of studies over several decades. Major findings to date include: Students in small class size (e.g., small class size between 13 -17 students) performed better at all K -3 grade levels than students in larger classes; Teachers spent more time on direct instruction and less on classroom management in smaller classes; • The more years students spent iii small classes, the longer the benefits lasted in schooling. As illustrated in Table 1, six to seven acres are needed in total to build another elementary school to accommodate approximately 350 students. 7 JPa e LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17,2015 4. Policies related to safety and health, as well the Los Gatos Elementary Teachers Association dictating maximum classroom sizeAoading ratios The District makes every effort to maintain equity across the District and purposefully does not increase enrollment at any one school as a strategy to maintain the educational integrity of programs for all students set forth in policies outlined in No Child Left Behind, School Facilities Program Regulation Section 1859.82 outlining conditions for health and safety of pupils, and more recently, recommendations outlined in the Local Control Funding Formula. In addition, increased enrollment would place a financial hardship on the District as outlined in the collective bargaining agreement between the District and the Los Gatos Elementary Teachers Association, Article 8 -Class size, sections 8.3 and 8.6. More specifically, Daves Avenue Elementary, Blossom Hill Elementary and Louise Van Meter Elementary, will exceed the class size ratios as outlined in the collective bargaining agreement at 24 for grades K -3 and 28 for grades 4 -8. Concurrently, students who reside within the District boundaries wishing to attend Blossom Hill Elementary, Louise Van Meter Elementary, and Daves Avenue Elementary have been displaced to Lexington Elementary School since our three other elementary schools are over capacity by CDE recommended guidelines. 5. Ongoing construction projects intended to increase current capacity In November 2014, the Board of Trustees approved the $14.2M Fisher Sports Complex at R.J. Fisher Middle School to address the short term growing enrollment concerns in grades 6-8. The Fisher Sports Complex will add four additional teaching spaces and new locker rooms needed to support a 1,500- student campus and address the federal mandate to provide 200 minutes per week of physical and health education to our middle school students. After completing the Fisher Sports Complex, along with all modernization projects outlined in Measure B and Measure E, the District's capital reserves for new construction is projected to be only $300K for planning future facilities to address the enrollment growth resulting from new development in Los Gatos. 6. Key findings and conclusions in District's demographic study In the fall 2014, the District contracted with Davis Demographics & Planning, Inc. ( "Demographers ") to update and analyze demographic data relevant to the District's facility planning efforts. The Demographers report explained that enrollment growth is based upon three factors that affect student population: (1) mobility which measures the migration of students in and out of the District (including move -ins, move -outs, new students from infill housing, drop outs, private school movement, etc.; (2) incoming kindergarten class (i.e., partially determined from recent birth data by zip code); and (3) new residential development and student yield factors. With the information available at this time, the Demographers are in the opinion that future student population will continue to increase as outlined in the demographic report attached. Enrollment is expected to increase by approximately 350 students over the next ten years. 8 �Page LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17, 2015 The expected enrollment growth creates a need to house these students. The current facilities in the District are not sufficient to house the projected enrollment growth, and it remains a fact that the District does not have the available land needed to build a new school site. 7. Key findings from District's Imagine 2022: Facilities Master Plan Over a period of 18 months, a full range of options was developed by community stakeholders to solve growth in the District. While the community's priorities include schools with lower enrollment and smaller class size, some concepts ambitiously solve growth comprehensively and simultaneously reduce the sizes of the District's existing schools. Some of these options explored would require an operational shift within the District by the creation of new school model These range from different grade structures such as K -4, 5 -8, or K -8 schools. Other solutions s. could offer the District opportunities for a specialized school of choice or magnet school to off load future growth. These could be structured in a wide range of different academic models as well. The options above were presented to explore future facility needs — not endorse any specific academic structure for a new school. Academic planning was beyond the scope of this study. Although most of these ambitious scenarios could significantly transform the District and greatly expand the educational offerings of the District, they have a larger financial impact and greater effect on the operational structures of the District. Other options to solve growth limit the study to solving the present short term needs. These balance the spectrum with a more cost effective approach. 91 Page LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17, 2015 SECTION 2: TOWN PLANNING AND PROPOSED NEW DEVELOPMENT The Town has been proceeding with approvals of the North 40 Specific Plan development activities. In addition, the Town has been reviewing proposed revisions to the Housing Element contained in the Town's General Plan. Recent proposed revisions include several mid -to -high density residential development projects ( "Housing Element "). Once built out, the District estimates that a minimum of 562 additional units will be added to the Town's housing inventory. The District estimates that the actual number of housing units that will be added in the next ten years will be much higher due to infill development and conversion of existing lots to residential use. Current demographic projections only include known developments and generally exclude projects that are less than 10 units. Given the clear constraints and limitations on the District's existing facilities, there is no doubt that future development will put a strain on the District's existing facilities to the detriment of the District's existing educational program. FINDINGS AND EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT OVERCROWDING FINDING 1: The District finds and determines that as a result of new development planned within the Town of Los Gatos including in -ill development ofsmaller parcels and additional residential development contemplated in the Town's Housing Element, conditions of overcrowding exist in one or more attendance areas within the District that will impair the normal functioning ofthe District's educational programs. Evidence in Support of Finding 1: California Department of Education (CDE) Capacity Analysis Government Code section 65973(a) defines "conditions of overcrowding" as meaning that "the total enrollment of a school, including enrollment from proposed development, exceeds the capacity of the school as determined by the governing body of the district and the policies related to educational equity, school structure and programs listed in Section 1 of this Notice of Findings. Based on CDE loading standards (e.g., based on CDE acreage recommendations as shown in Table 1), the District calculated the percentage and extent of overcrowding at each of its school sites as set forth in Table 2: 101Pa0e LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17, 2015 Table 2: LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT CAPACITY ANALYSIS � uc School Site Current Recommended Overcrowded Overcrowded -_- -- - ----- �.•stud •�•••� ents u . roument ossom t Elementa (K -5) 675 616 + 59 r 9.6% Daves Avenue Elementary (K-5) 575 489 86 students 1 In -Jl I 165 1 1no I 76_�_ - - - -- Fisher +132 Evidence in Support of Finding l: Classroom Size and Structure As stated in Section 1: Policies related to school bond measures and school programs, 84.4% of Los Gatos voters support class size reduction and school structures with ratios of 20:1 students - to- teacher ratios for grades K -3, and 25:1 students -to- teacher ratios for grades 4 -8. (See Attachment F- Important Information,4bout Measure B, 2001). Table 3 and Table 4 show the additional classrooms needed to implement this program today as well as for future projected enrollment.

In contrast, the same report is projecting a peak of 3,663 students (e.g., Projection Q taking into account all known future development, with moderate density. The District anticipates that development may be higher than predicted once small developments (e.g., single family homes, lot conversions, and subdivisions) are added. The student enrollment growth strictly correlated to known additional development is expected to generate 304 students as stated in the demographic report. In order to house these students the District will need to purchase land at a minimum six acres in total using a density of 50 students per acre. Preliminary discussions with real estate consultants to identify the purchase of land and potential costs indicate that commercial acreage, if available, costs between $3 -4 million per acre. Subsequently, industry standards and consultants anticipate the cost of land will continue to increase in the near future. If commercial parcels were available today, the District's approximate cost to obtain such acreage would be between $18 -24 million For land acquisition. Any funds received by the imposition of additional mitigation obligations on residential developers would be used strictly for the expansion of school facilities. 121Page LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17, 2015 FINDING 2: The District finds and determines that all reasonable methods ofmitigating conditions of overcrowding have been evaluated and no feasible method for reducing those conditions exists. Evidence in Support of Finding 2: Government Code section 65973(a) defines "reasonable methods for mitigating conditions of overcrowding" as including, but not limited to, agreements between a sub - divider or builder and the affected school district whereby temporary-use buildings will be leased to the school district or temporary -use buildings owned by the school district will be used and agreements between the affected school district and other school districts whereby the affected school district agrees to lease or purchase surplus or underutilized school facilities from other school districts. In addition to these criteria, the District also evaluated several other mitigation options, all of which are discussed in detail. The reasonable methods of mitigating conditions of overcrowding which have been considered by the District and the determination made concerning them are as follows: I. Agreements with Developers The District has been working diligently with the developers within the North 40 Development on potential mitigations and voluntary contributions to reduce the impact on schools resulting from new development, including overcrowding for Blossom Hill Elementary, Louise Van Meter Elementary, Daves Avenue Elementary, and R.J. Fisher Middle School within the District. These mitigations include dedication of land and/or payment of voluntary fees on a per - dwelling unit basis for market rate housing elements that are predicted to generate increased student enrollment based on the District's recent demographic study. 2. Availability of Funding Restricted Funds: Currently, there are typically two types of restricted funds from which a school district can draw to purchase property and /or construct capital projects. They are developer fees and surplus property sale proceeds. The District currently collects developer fees at a rate of $2.29 for residential projects and $34 for commercial projects. Today, this is the maximum fee amount that the District is entitled to collect under the current law. Currently, the District has no additional funding that can be used to offset the impact of new growth in the District since it has utilized developer fees collected to date for the cost of the new and modernized R.J. Fisher Sports Complex in the amount of $14.2M. In addition, the District can only utilize developer fees generated by new development as those proceeds trickle into the District's coffers. It has long been established and accepted that developer fees fall short of what is needed to adequately mitigate the impact of growth induced by new residential development. 13JPage LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17, 2015 Based on current student generation rates and construction costs, developer fees pay approximately one -third of the cost to build a classroom. This excludes land and other ancillary space that is needed to house students. On a per student basis, current developer fees generate approximately $12,000 - $15,000 per student. Taking into account the purchase of land, the cost to build a new school is approximately $121,000 per student. In addition, the District does not have surplus funds for capital projects nor does the District currently hold title to surplus property that can be sold to generate funds to mitigate the impact of growth in the District. General Fund Revenues: The District is not in a position to utilize proceeds from the General Fund to mitigate the impact of development through the purchase of land or construction of facilities. General Fund Revenues are dedicated to support educational programs (e.g., books, supplies, and teacher /staff salaries). Any reduction in General Funds for construction or land would impair the normal functioning of educational programs within the District. Simply stated, there are no excess General Funds that can be dedicated for future facility projects. In fact, few people know that the Federal government provides almost no funding to our five public schools. In 2013 -2014 California ranked 49th overall in how much it spends per student. California remains near the bottom nationwide in per student spending (source: Quality Counts 2012). For the District, adjusted for inflation, spending per pupil has actually fallen from $9,242 in 2010 to $9,099 in the 2014 -2015 school year, about $2,500 below the national average of $11,665. State Bond Proceeds: As required by Government Code section 65971(b)(1), the District has attached a completed application to the Office of Public School Construction ( "OPSC ") for preliminary determination of eligibility under the Leroy F. Greene State School Building Lease - Purchase Law of 1976 (Education Code section 17000 et seq.). It is a fact that the state's construction bond funding system has been tapped for years. As it stands, according to OPSC, the state has already approved over $2 billion dollars in projects for which there is no state funding. If the District's application were approved, it would fall in line behind an already insurmountable list of projects for which there is no state funding. Proceeds for Local Bond Measures: All Measure E and Measure B funds have been allocated for the modernization and construction of all existing District schools. Hence, there are no bond proceeds available today for new construction. The District would need to plan for a new local facilities bond measure and the ballot initiative would need to be passed by at least 55% of the voters to cover the cost of new construction. 3. Use of Existing District Property As noted in the Factual Background section above, the District's facilities cannot accommodate additional growth without modernization and the addition of new classroom space. Current enrollment at each school site is already overcrowded by CDE recommended guidelines for elementary and middle schools (see Table 1). Multi- purpose buildings and other ancillary facilities are already far too small for the current enrollment. Additional classrooms will I41Pa,e LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17, 2015 deteriorate the quality of education due to excessive overcrowding conditions. For more specific information, reference the Imagine 2022: Los Gatos Union School District Facilities Master Plan, dated December 14, 2012. 4. Use of Property of Neighboring Schoo! Districts There are approximately six elementary school districts that are immediately adjacent to and/or overlap the District's boundaries. These school districts include: Cambrian, Union, Saratoga, Lakeside, Loma Prieta and the Campbell School districts. These six elementary districts are located outside of the boundaries of the District and therefore would require the District to obtain a waiver form CDE to operate an educational program for students in grades K -8. Thus, it is not feasible for the District to seek space from neighboring districts without the need for a state waiver. Notwithstanding the practical and legal limitations associated with operating a program in the facilities of another school district, District staff contacted each of the neighboring and overlapping school districts to determine if any classroom space and/or property is available to help the District mitigate the impact of planned development. The responses from the districts were as follows: TABLE 5: RESPONSE FROM NEIGHBORING SCHOOL DISTRICTS As illustrated in the Table 5 above, there is no classroom space or land available to the District from neighboring and overlapping school districts. S. Acquisition of property The District seeks to acquire six acres of land to address elementary and middle school growth. Commercial property is currently valued at approximately $3 to 4 million per acre. Residential property has a much higher value and therefore the District would not pursue land that is zoned for residential use. * +x *s 151 Page LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17, 2015 DEVELOPMENT MITIGATION SCHEDULE TO REDUCE OVERCROWDING At this time, on a per student basis, statutory developer fees generate approximately $12,000 - $15,000 per student. Today the cost to purchase land for a small school site within the District's boundaries is approximately $18 -$24 million. Construction of a school is approximately $18420 million. Hence, the total cost to build a small school with a capacity of 305 students is approximately $36444 million. The rationale for determining the increase in developer fees to mitigate student growth is as follows: The cost to purchase new land equates to a cost of approximately $62,000 per new student for the District. The average square footage for all new residential development in the Town of Los Gatos is estimated at 2,500 square feet. Applying the student generation rate of 0.3 86 (see Attachment E — District's Demographic Study, 2014) the District requests an increase in developer fees based on the cost of land and average square footage for all new residential development. This equates to an additional $9.57 per square foot for each new residential unit as outlined in Table 6. The District requests that the Town of Los Gatos pass an ordinance imposing the following fee structure on all new residential development based on known costs to date. The additional mitigation fees are expected to only cover the cost to expand school facilities to educate the additional 305 students. 16jPage LOS GATOS UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF WRITTEN FINDINGS FOR OVERCROWDING APRIL 17, 2015 TABLE 6: DEVELOPMENT MITIGATION SCHEDULE TO REDUCE OVERCROWDING HOUSING ELEMENT FEE STRUCTURE Addition to Existing Single Family Residential over 500 sq. ft. 1.

The Legislature finds and declares as follows: (a) Adequate school facilities should be available for children residing in new residential developments. (b) Public and private residential developments may require the expansion of existing public schools or the construction of new school facilities. (c) In many areas of the state, the funds for the construction of new classroom facilities are not available when new development occurs, resulting in the overcrowding of existing schools. (d) New housing developments frequently cause conditions of overcrowding in existing school facilities which cannot be alleviated under existing law within a reasonable period of time. (e) That, for these reasons, new and improved methods of financing for interim school facilities necessitated by new development are needed in California. 65971. (a) The governing body of a school district that operates an elementary or high school shall notify the city council or board of supervisors of the city or county within which the school district is located if the governing body makes both of the following findings supported by clear and convincing evidence: (1) That conditions of overcrowding exist in one or more attendance areas within the district that will impair the normal functioning of educational programs, including the reason for the existence of those conditions. (2) That all reasonable methods of mitigating conditions of overcrowding have been evaluated and no feasible method for reducing those conditions exist. (b) (1) The notice of findings sent to the city or county pursuant to subdivision (a) shall specify the mitigation measures considered by the school district. The notice of findings shall include a completed application to the office of Public School Construction for preliminary determination of eligibility under the Leroy F. Greene State School Building Lease- Purchase Law of 1976 (Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 17000) of Part 10 of the Education Code). The city council or board of supervisors shall take no action on the notice of findings sent to the city or county pursuant to subdivision (a) until the findings have been made available to the public for 60 days after the date of receipt by the city or county. The city council or board of supervisors shall either concur or not concur in the notice of findings within 61 days to 150 days after the date of receipt of the findings. The city council or board of supervisors may extend the period to concur or not to concur for one 30 -day period. The failure of the city council or board of supervisors to either concur or not concur within the time period prescribed in this subdivision shall not be deemed as an act of concurrence in the notice of findings by the council or board. (2) The date of receipt of the notice of findings is the date when all of the materials required by this section are completed and filed by the school district with the city council or board of supervisors. (3) If the city council or board of supervisors concurs in those findings, Section 65972 shall be applicable to actions taken on residential development by the city council or board of supervisors. 65972. Within the attendance area where it has been determined pursuant to Section 65971 that conditions of overcrowding exist, the city council or board of supervisors shall not approve an ordinance rezoning property to a residential use, grant a discretionary permit for residential use, or approve a tentative subdivision map for residential purposes, within such area, unless the city council or board of supervisors makes one of the following findings: (1) That an ordinance pursuant to Section 65974 has been adopted, or (2) That there are specific overriding fiscal, economic, social, or environmental factors which in the judgment of the city council or board of supervisors would benefit the city or county, thereby justifying the approval of a residential development otherwise subject to Section 65974. 65973. As used in this chapter, the following terms have the following meanings: (a) "Conditions of overcrowding" means that the total enrollment of a school, including enrollment from proposed development, exceeds the capacity of the school as determined by the governing body of the district. (b) "Reasonable methods for mitigating conditions of overcrowding" includes, but is not limited to, agreements between a subdivider or builder and the affected school district whereby temporary -use buildings will be leased to the school district or temporary -use buildings owned by the school district will be used and agreements between the affected school district and other school districts whereby the affected school district agrees to lease or purchase surplus or underutilized school facilities from other school districts. (c) "Residential development" means a project containing residential dwellings, including mobilehomes, of one or more units or a subdivision of land for the purpose of constructing one or more residential dwelling units. 65974. (a) For the purpose of establishing an interim method of providing classroom facilities where overcrowded conditions exist, as determined necessary pursuant to Section 65971, and notwithstanding Section 66478, a city, county, or city and county may, by ordinance, require the dedication of land, the payment of fees in lieu thereof, or a combination of both, for classroom and related facilities for elementary or high schools as a condition to the approval of a residential development, if all of the following occur: (1) The general plan provides for the location of public schools. (2) The ordinance has been in effect for a period of 30 days prior to the implementation of the dedication or fee requirement. (3) The land or fees, or both, transferred to a school district shall be used only for the purpose of providing interim elementary or high school classroom and related facilities. If fees are paid in lieu of the dedication of land and those fees are utilized to purchase land, no more land shall be purchased than is necessary for the placement thereon of interim facilities. (4) The location and amount of land to be dedicated or the amount of fees to be paid, or both, shall bear a reasonable relationship and be limited to the needs of the community for interim elementary or high school facilities and shall be reasonably related and limited to the need for schools caused by the development. However, the value of the land to be dedicated or the amount of fees to be paid, or both, shall not exceed the amount necessary to pay five annual lease payments for the interim facilities. In lieu of the dedication of land or the payment of fees, or both, the builder of a residential development may, at his or her option and at his or her expense, provide interim facilities, owned or controlled by the builder, at the place designated by the school district, and at the conclusion of the fifth school year the builder shall, at the builder's expense, remove the interim facilities from that place. (5) A finding is made by the city council or board of supervisors that the facilities to be constructed from the fees or the land to be dedicated, or both, is consistent with the general plan. (b) The ordinance may specify the methods for mitigating the conditions of overcrowding that the school district shall consider when making the finding required by paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 65971. (c) If the payment of fees is required, the payment shall be made at the time the building permit is issued or at a later time as may be specified in the ordinance. (d) Only the payment of fees may be required in subdivisions containing 50 parcels or less. (e) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, contracts entered into or contracts to be entered into pursuant to a school facilities master plan administered by a joint powers authority created under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6500) of Division 7 of Title 1 for a designated community plan area adopted by a city, county, or city and county, whether general law or chartered, on or before September 1, 1986, that requires the payment of a fee, charge, or dedication for the construction of school facilities as a condition to the approval of residential development shall not be subject to subdivision (b) of Section 65995. However, in determining developer fees under that school facilities master plan, the cost and maximum building area standards for school buildings prescribed by Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 17000) of Part 10 of the Education Code shall apply, and the school district or districts involved are required to have on file with the Office of Public School Construction, and actively pursue in good faith, an application for preliminary determination of eligibility for project funding under that chapter, and shall actively pursue in good faith the establishment of a community capital facilities district or other permanent financing mechanisms to reduce or eliminate developer fees. (2) Any fees collected or land dedicated after September 1, 1986, pursuant to this section, and not used to avoid overcrowding of the facilities to be built pursuant to the school facilities master plan, shall be subject to disposition in accordance with subdivision (b) of Section 65979. (3) Fees collected in excess of the limitations set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 65995 for schools constructed under that school facilities master plan shall neither advantage nor disadvantage a school district's application for project funding under Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 17000) of Part 10 of the Education Code. 65974.5. Notwithstandinq any other provision of this chanter., the governing board of any school district that receives funds that are collected pursuant to this chapter under a local ordinance, resolution, or other regulation in existence on September 1, 1986, may expend those funds for any of the construction or reconstruction purposes authorized under Section 53080, where the governing board has first held a public hearing on the subject of the proposed expenditure. 65975. (a) Whenever a school district has received approval, under the State School Building Lease - Purchase Law of 1976, (Ch. 22 (commencing with Section 17700), Pt. 10, Ed. C.) of a school project to be constructed in an attendance area where fees have been collected pursuant to Section 65974, all or a portion of the fees so collected for interim facilities may be used by the district to provide its 10 percent of the project as required by item (1) of Section 17761 of the Education Code. Nothing in this section shall increase the amount of fees that would otherwise be collected pursuant to Section 65974. (b) Whenever a school district has received approval, under the State School Building Lease - Purchase Law of 1976 (Ch. 22 (commencing with Section 17700), Pt. 10, Ed. C.), of a school project to be constructed in an attendance area where land has been received pursuant to Section 65974, the district may use the fair market value of the land to provide all or a portion of its 10 percent of the school project as required by item (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 17761. In order to use the value of land to meet the 10 percent match requirement, the district shall construct the capital outlay project on the land used to make the match, and shall provide the full 10 percent of the project cost at one time as provided in item (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 17761 of the Education Code. 65976. As a part of the notice required by Section 65971, or in any event before the city council or board of supervisors make a decision to require the dedication of land or the payment of fees, or both, or to increase the amount of land to be dedicated or the fees to be paid, or both, the governing body of the school district shall submit a schedule to the city council or board of supervisors specifying how the school district will use the land or fees, or both, to solve the conditions of overcrowding. The schedule shall include the school sites to be used, the classroom facilities to be made available, and the times when those facilities will be available. If the governing body of the school district cannot meet the schedule, it shall submit modifications to the city council or board of supervisors and the reasons for the modifications. 65977. Where two separate school districts operate schools in an attendance area where overcrowding conditions exist for both school districts, the governing body of the city or county shall enter into an agreement with the governing body of each school district for the purpose of determining the distribution of revenues from the fees levied pursuant to this chapter. 65978. Any school district receiving funds pursuant to this chapter shall maintain a separate account for any fees paid and shall file a report with the city council or board of supervisors on the balance in the account at the end of the previous fiscal year; the facilities leased, purchased, or constructed; and the dedication of land during the previous fiscal year. In addition, the report shall specify which attendance areas will continue to be overcrowded when the fall term begins and where conditions of overcrowding will no longer exist. The report shall be filed by October 15 of each year and shall be filed more frequently at the request of the board of supervisors or city council. The board of supervisors or city council may approve a 30 -day extension for the filing of the report in the case of extenuating circumstances, as determined by the board of supervisors or city council. During the time that the report has not been filed in the manner prescribed in this section, there shall be a waiver of any performance of the payment of fees or the dedication of land. If overcrowding conditions no longer exist, the city or county shall cease levying any fee or requiring the dedication of any land pursuant to this chapter. 65979. (a) One year after receipt of an apportionment pursuant to the Leroy F. Greene State School Building Lease - Purchase Law of 1976 (Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 17000 of Part 10 of the Education Code) for the construction of a school, the city or county shall not be permitted thereafter, pursuant to this chapter or pursuant to any other school facilities financing arrangement the district may have with builders of residential development, to levy any fee or to require the dedication of any land within the attendance area of the school for which the apportionment was received. However, any time after receipt of the apportionment there may be a determination of overcrowding pursuant to Section 65971, if both of the following further findings are made: (1) That during the period of construction, or after construction has been completed, additional overcrowding would occur from continued residential development. (2) That any fee levied and any required dedication of land levied after the receipt of the construction apportionment can be used to avoid the additional overcrowding prior to the school being available for use by the school district. (b) Any amounts of fees collected or land dedicated after the receipt of the construction apportionment and not used to avoid overcrowding shall be returned to the person who paid the fee or made the land dedication. 65980. For the purposes of Section 65974 the following terms mean: (a) "Approval of a residential development" means any approval for the development prior to and including the issuance of a building permit for the development. (b) "Classroom facilities," "classroom and related facilities," and "elementary or high school facilities" mean "interim facilities" and shall include no other facilities. (c) "Interim facilities" are limited to any of the following: (1) Temporary classrooms not constructed with permanent foundation and defined as a structure containing one or more rooms, each of which is designed, intended, and equipped for use as a place for formal instruction of pupils by a teacher in a school. (2) Temporary classroom toilet facilities not constructed with permanent foundations. (3) Reasonable site preparation and installation of temporary classrooms. (4) Land necessary for the placement thereon of any of the facilities described in paragraph (1) or (2). 65980.1. Notwithstanding Section 69580, for the purposes of Section 65974, interim facilities shall include leased residential dwellings used by the Lodi Unified School District for school purposes. 65981. If an ordinance has been adopted pursuant to Section 65974 which provides for the school district governing body to recommend the fees for providing interim facilities that are to be assessed on a development as a condition of city or county approval of a subdivision, such recommendation shall be required to be submitted to the respective city or county within 60 days following the issuance of the initial permit for the development. Failure to provide the recommendation of fees to be assessed within the 60 -day period shall constitute a waiver by the governing body of the school district of its authority to request fees pursuant to this chapter.
