SUBJECT :
AMENDMENT TO SCHOOL FEE REQUIREMENTS - SAN MARCOS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
«
Statement of the Matter
The Council on November 7, 1978, adopted Resolution No. 5582, setting standards
for the amount of fees required to eliminate overcrowding conditions in the
San Marcos School District. These fees were based on rationale submitted by
San Marcos District dated May 1, 1978, at that time the district assumed that
the fee schedule would be enforced for approximately 1 year, because of
construction industry inflation rate of 1% per month. 'San Marcos School
District has now re-evaluated their rationale for fees and have asked the City
to modify the fee schedule per the rationale received February 6, 1979.
In the new rationale fees for single family homes have raised from a maximum
of $664.00 to $1,088.00. They have raised from multiple family units from a
maximum $207.00 to a maximum of $432.00. The original fee schedule required
fees of $664.00 for lot splits and land subdivisions where no building permits
are involved. This requirement is being deleted from the present rationale
because Carlsbad collects fees at time of building permit. Also, the school
district would loose money on subdivision of multiple family lots when the
units are built for rentals.

1 RATIONALE FOR FEE SCHEDULE FOR INTERIM FACILITIES/S.B. 201
2
3" The passage of Proposition 13 removed all existing sources of funds for
4 school facilities except S,B. 201, It is no longer feasible to lease
5 relocatable classrooms and plan on replacing them with permanent buildings
6 at the end of the lease period. This fee schedule, therefore, is based on
7 purchasing standard size relocatable classrooms with appurtenant costs of
8 site preparation, utility connections, engineering, walkways and furniture
9 and equipment. The present cost of a classroom and attached costs is $39,500,
10
11 It is assumed that this fee schedule will be in force for approximately one
12 year. The inflation rate in the construction industry in running 1% per month.
13 Best indications at this point is that this rate will increase in the near
14 future. A modest 10% inflation factor is .included,
1516 At the present time, 10% of the district's classrooms are devoted to special
17 education classes. This proportion is increasing markedly due to Federal
18 legislation requiring programs for all handicapped students by type of handi-
19 cap. The number of additional classrooms needed for special education over
20 the next two years approximates the number needed for regular students,
2122 The district contract with the teaching personnel calls for e maximum average
23 class size of 31. This has been the practice in the district for some time,
24 Using 31 students per classroom as a divisor, the cost per student is $1542.
2526 The student generation factors computed by the San Diego Department of
27 Education for the San Marcos Unified School District are 0.77 students per
28 dwelling unit in single family dwellings and 0.28 for attached dwelling units
2g (apartments, condominiums, etc.). Accordingly, the cost to house the students
2Q generated per dwelling unit becomes $1,188 for single family units and $432
21 for attached units.
3222 It is assumed that the average single family dwelling unit in San Marcos has
2» three bedrooms, so the cost per bedroom becomes $396; $1,188 per dwelling
^ unit - 3 bedrooms per dwelling unit. It is assumed that the average attached
dwelling unit has two bedrooms, so the cost per bedroom is $216. The reason
for assessing the fee on a per-bedroom basis is that the number of bedrooms
_0 has some positive relation to the number of children in the family,

RATIONALE FOR FEE SCHEDULE FOR INTERIM FACILITIES/S.B. 201" " •'•
It is assumed that in a period'.of three years from the issuance of building
permits', the district would be able to obtain' financing, plan and build
permanent facilities to house students generated by a new housing develop-
ment. Eased upon this assumption, a three year lease of a standard sized
classroom v/ith appurtenant costs including installation and return', site
preparation, utilities, engineering, walkways, furniture and equipment is
used as the basis for the fee schedule. The total cost for a classroom and
..attached costs is $24,310 at the present time. ..
»**..." " " * " * «-••'''"* ""."""' * 9 •The'district contract .v/ith the teaching personnel calls for a maximum average
class size of 31. This has been the practice in the district for some time.
Using 31 students per classroom as a divisor, the cost per student is $784.
. • • *
It is assumed that this fee schedule will be-in force for approximately
one year. 'The inflation rate in the construction industry is running 1*
per month. Best indications at this point is that this rate will increase
in the near future. A modest 10% inflation factor is included.
The student generation factors computed by the San Diego Department of
Education for the San Marcos Unified School .District are 0.77 students per
'dwelling unit in single family dwellings and 0.24 for attached dwelling
units (apartments, condominiums, etc.). Accordingly the cost to house the
students generated per dwelling unit becomes $664 for single family units
'and $207 for attached units. \
'.
It 1s assumed that the average single family dwelling unit in San Marcos has
three bedrooms, so the cost per bedroom becomes. $221. ($6G4 per dwelling
unit i- 3 bedrooms per dwelling unit). It is assumed that the average attached
dwelling unit has two bedrooms, so.the cost per bedroom is $104. The reason •
for assessing the fee on a per bedroom basis is that the number of bedrooms
has some positive relation to the number of children in the family.
» *»
In some cases it is impossible to determine the number of bedrooms at the
time the fee is assessed. • This v/ould be true in a lot split or'a sub-
* division of land, other than a housing tract," in a jurisdiction that assesses
,the fee at the time of tentative or final tract'or parcel map approval even
though the fee is not collected until building permits are issued. This ' •
would not be a problem in a jurisdiction that assesses the fee at the time
building permits are issued. ; . - . .
It is assumed that a lot split or land subdivision will result in single
family'residences as apartment houses or condominiums generally require
larger lots. The fee assessed, therefore, for lot splits or land subdivisions
where the number of bedrooms is not known is the fee for a single family
residencel?($664) per lot. . „ . ' . .
