Dear Members of the City Council:
Re: Carlsbad City Ordinance- Chapter 2155
Dedication of Land & Fees for School^
Facilities
The following letter is in response to Section 21.55.260 (Fee Fund Records and
Reports):of the above named Ordinance. The San Dieguito Union High School District
maintains a separate account for all fees paid under this ordinance and had no
balance in the account at the end of the 1979-80 fiscal year. Although the District
is currently leasing some 27 temporary classrooms, funds are being provided through
developer agreements entered into prior to S.B. 201, or by fees collected by the
County or other incorporated cities within the School District.
The Board of Trustees took action at its regular meeting on July 24 to identify
all attendance areas in the San Dieguito Union High School District-as overcrowded
for the 1980-81 school year. The Board a1so revised its policy on the availability
of facilities, modifying the developer fee to take into consideration the increased
costs of providing temporary classrooms. The new fee schedule is as follows:
3 bedrooms
2 bedrooms
1 bedroom
$1,579.00
682.00
256.00
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I respectfully request that the City, of Carlsbad
approve the attached Resolution of Overcrowding along with the revised fee schedule
for providing temporary classrooms. Additional information is available upon request.
Sincerely,
William A. Berrier

RESOLUTION RE: CONDITIONS OF

:RCROWDING
On motion of Member
Shirts
Thompson
_ __,m-».. , _ ..-,-—*the following resolution is adopted:
seconded by Member
WHEREAS, for some time past there has been a continuing and substantial increase
in population within the boundaries of the San Diequito Union High School District
to the extent that the school facilities of this district have become overcrowded; and
WHEREAS, a very significant proportion of the increase in population in this
district results from construction of residential units in new housing developments
within the district; and
WHEREAS, in the absence of assistance in the form of financial contributions or
dedications of land from the developers of such new residential developments this'
district would not have financial resources adequate to provide proper educational
facilities for all the children residing in this district; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 4.7 (commencing with Section 65970; added by Stats. 1977,
Chap. 955), Division 1, Title 7 to the Government Code making provision for financial
or other assistance by developers to school districts if the governing board of a
school district has made a finding that conditions of overcrowding exist in one or
more attendance areas of the district including the specific data specified in
Government Code Section 65971; NOW, THEREFORE
IT IS RESOLVED AND DETERMINED that, pursuant to Government Code Section 65971,
this governing board makes the following findings:
(1) Conditions of overcrowding exist in the following attendance areas of the
San Pieguito Unipn_High School District which will impair the normal functioning of
ed u c a t ion aT pro grams i n those areas: . . . '
San Dieguito High School - Grades 9-12
Torrey Pines High School - Grades 9-12
Oak Crest Junior High School - Grades 7-8
Earl Warren Junior High School - Grades 7-8
Sunset (continuation) High School - Grades 9-12
(2) Reasons for the conditions of overcrowding in the above-mentioned attendance
areas include the following:

In addition to the students presently enrolled, the County or the responsible city
has approved numerous developments in each of the above named attendance areas that have
potential for further impacting District schools. The students currently enrolled,
combined with those anticipated from new developments already approved, has resulted
in an overcrowded condition at each of the schools listed above.
(3) All reasonable methods of mitigating conditions of overcrowding have been
evaluated and no feasible method for reducing such conditions exists. Mitigation
measures considered by the governing board of this district to reduce the overcrowded
conditions include the following:
a) The District has entered into agreements with developers who have
contributed financial assistance toward the cost of providing temporary use buildings.
Other temporary buildings have been financed out of the District's general fund so
that each site contains a mix of temporary and permanent facilities.. *
b) District voters approved a bond measure that provided the first phase of
a new high school in 1974 that is seriously overcrowded in spite of the addition of
seventeen (17) portable classrooms at that site since the fall of 1975.
c) Student busing and boundary realignments are not feasible alternatives
at the high school level since both of the District's two comprehensive high schools
are overcrowded. These alternatives have been implemented at the junior high level;
and even so, those campuses are projected to exceed capacity prior to the completion
of developments that have been approved by the appropriate governmental body.
d) Such alternatives as year-round operation and double sessions have been
examined by committees of parents and staff, but have been:rejected due to what is
considered to be a negative impact on the instructional program.
e) The District has no "surplus" real property or "low priority school
facilities"; therefore, this is not a feasible alternative for increasing school
capacity.
f) Following a comprehensive study by a "Facilities Committee", the Board,
on June 1> 1978, identified the facilities required to keep pace with District growth.
One new junior high school was called for plus additional permanent facilities on each
of the District's four existing campuses. Passage of Proposition 13 has made it
impossible to finance new school construction through bond issues that are repaid by a
tax on property.
(4) The conditions of overcrowding in this district and the explosive population
growth projected for this area can only be accomodated by the construction of new
permanent facilities on existing sites and/or the development of additional sites.
The use of additional temporary use buildings/relocatable structures to accommodate
future growth on developed District sites is extremely limited. Support by developers
in the form of financial contributions or dedications of land is necessary in order
to try to keep abreast of population growth and even with such assistance, any signifi-
cant reduction in the conditions of overcrowding will.be difficult until sufficient
funds can be generated to provide additional permanent facilities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED AND ORDERED that the Secretary of this Board deliver
certified copies of this resolution to the city councils and/or the Board of Super-
visors of all cities and County w.ithin whose boundaries the school district lies
together with copies of this District's policy on the subject of developers',
subdividers1, and builders' contributions to mitigate impact on school facilities to
indicate the type and scale of assistance considered appropriate to meet the needs
of this district.

District of San Diego County, California, this 24th day of July
1980.

NEW CONSTRUCTION : ' 7100
Availability of Facilities
It is the goal of the San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustees to
provide the best possible learning environment for all of the students who live
within the boundaries of the San Dieguito Union High School District. In the absence
of a method to finance school construction through bond issues, the District will seek
alternative solutions to the school housing problems on an interim basis. The
District will utilize temporary classrooms along with other alternatives to the maximum
extent feasible in order to avoid the requirements to operate on double sessions.
The administration and Board of Trustees will explore every legally available avenue
to secure funds and/or financial assistance to provide the space needed to maintain
a quality educational program. ,
Because a high quality educational program benefits not only students and the community,
but also benefits land developers and builders by facilitating the sale of their homes,
it shall be the policy of the Board-to include property developers and builders
within the class of persons from whom financial and other contributions will be vigor-
ously solicited.
It will be the policy of the Board of Trustees, within the legal limits of its
discretion, to extend cooperation to developers and builders who assist the District
in the task of providing interim measures to maintain the high quality of the educa-
tional program and such cooperation shall be in the same measure as the assistance
provided by the developer.
The Superintendent is authorized to prepare administrative regulations that will (a)
provide guidelines for determining the availability of school.facilities to meet the
needs of the projected enrollment and (b) identify the level of developer support
required to mitigate conditions of overcrowding in District schools. Among the
factors to be considered are:
1. The availability of school facilities to accommodate the projected enrollment.
2. The anticipated impact of proposed development on school enrollment.
3. The timing and certainty of the developer's building plans.
4. The type of school facility needed when conditions of overcrowding exist.
5. The provisions of local building ordinances with regard to residential
development.

STUDENT HOUSING CAPACITY - FALL 1980
"I. 9-12 High Schools - Regular Schedule
The capacity of a senior high school plant is calculated on a space utilization
factor of approximately 85% of the teaching stations at 30 students each. The
ability to fully utilize available instructional space depends on such factors
as properly balanced classes and a class size average close to the maximum.
1. San Pi eguito currently has 71 teaching stations including six physical
education classes.
71 x 30 = 2130 x 85% = 1811
2-- Torrey Pines has 68 teaching stations including six physical education
classes (including lecture hall and I.A. room)
68 x 30 = 2040 x 85%'= 1734
3. Sunset (Continuation) High School provides a highly individualized program
that is currently housed in four (4) temporary classrooms. Capacity is
approximately one hundred (100) students.
II. 7-8 Junior Highs - Regular Schedule
The capacity of a junior high plant is normally calculated on a utilization
factor of 90% with 28 students per teaching station.
1- Ear"M'Jarren now has 38 teaching stations including physical education.
38 x 28 = 1064 x 90% .= 958
2- Oak Crest now has 39 teaching stations including physical education.
39 x 28 = 1092 x 90% = 983
III. Exceeding Capacity - It is possible to exceed projected capacity at both the
high school or junior high level by such procedures as:
A. Schedule modification - extending the school day to permit more
students to take advantage of specialized facilities such as shops
and laboratories.
B. Facility modification - utilization of space not specifically
designed for instructional purposes, i.e., faculty lounges, storage
areas, etc.
• While both procedures have been utilized to increase plant capacity, they do
not provide an optimum learning environment for students.

SUGGESTED DEVELOPER FINANCIAL AIDE FORMULA
I. ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COSTS OF PERMANENT FACILITIES/SAN DIEGUITO HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
The most current State aid formula has been applied to the actual buildings
in phase I and-to those planned for construction during phase II at Torrey
Pines High School. An estimate has been made for providing a complete facility
for approximately 2,000 students including site^acquisition and development,
furnishings, and fees. Similar criteria was developed for 7-8 junior highs
developed around the requirements of an existing campus in the San Dieguito
Union High School District.
The'estimated per pupil cost of providing permanent facilities'in October
1979 was (a) high school - $11,060 and (b) junior high school - $7,310.
These figures will be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in the cost
of providing new permanent school facilities. Modifications will be based
on the Index of Construction costs as reported in the Eng inee ring News
Record.

Explanation of Major Components in Proposed Developers' Fee Schedule
Cost of building:
Grading:
A standard classroom is 960 square feet; the unit cost is
based on $43 per square foot. Interest at 13% is also
included, since the supplier would be submitting his bid on
an amount per year during the lease period.
Preparation of a site is required to put the building in
place. The school district is usually responsible to prepare
the site ready for foundations.
Architect fees, etc.: Each building requires architectural service; other fees
are required to the State Department of Education, the State
Architect, etc. for plan conformance. Engineering services
are required for site work and utilities. A building
inspector is required during construction.
Cement walkways:
Utilities:
Contingency:
A walk ten feet wide surrounding the building has been District
standard for recent portables.
Cost can only be an estimate since each location is different.
Some campuses will require more, some less, than the estimated
amounts due to the location of existing available lines.
This is an estimate of additional expenses during construction.
Toilet facilities: As needed, these would be incorporated on a campus, but are not
needed for each building. The estimated amount shown would
provide adequate funds to provide these as they are required.
The facility could also provide a custodial room and minimum
storage.
Resource center:
Lockers:
Landscaping:
If the amount shown is collected for each building put in place,
the tenth building could also include the lease of a resource
center as the required funds would be available for use.
This estimate will provide, a book locker a,nd a P.E. combination
locker for each student.
A minimum landscaping could be provided with this estimate to
blend the portable building into the existing site.

Availability of Facilities
I. Facility Capacity
The following factors will be considered in determining the availability of
facilities to meet the needs of the projected student population:
A. Projected Enrollment
The administration vn'll project the enrollment for each campus for the
following school year by the beginning of the second semester. The pro-
jections will take into consideration such factors as:
1. Enrollment in the feeder elementary districts.
2. Current enrollment at the secondary level.
3. Projected enrollees as a result of new residential units planned for
each attendance area.
B. Current Capacity
The capacity of each campus is determined by the number of students who
maybe served by the existing facilities. The following factors will
be taken into consideration in determining the capacity of a given campus:
1. Number of teaching stations in permanent facilities.
2. Number of teaching stations in temporary facilities.
3. The staffing pattern and level of educational program offered at the
school site.
C. Maximum Capacity . . •
Maximum capacity is deemed to be the greatest number of students who can
' be provided a quality educational program and school environment on a
conventional time schedule. The administration will monitor plant capacityv annually and make recommendations to the Board with regard to maximum student
enrollment consistent with a proper learning environment.
II. School Avai1abi1ity
Facilities will be determined to be available at a particular school site if one
of the following circumstances exist:
A. Current capacity will accommodate the projected enrollment.
B. Plant capacity is modified to accommodate the projected enrollment by
a procedure acceptable to the Board of Trustees.
If the projected enrollment for the school is greater than the current capacity
but does not exceed the maximum considered acceptable by the Board of Trustees
to maintain a proper looming environment, interim steps arc possible with
developer or other assistance to increase plant capacity.

III. Cooperation with Governmental Agency Responsible for Residential Development
The administration is to evaluate the impact of each proposed subdivision,
rezone, or special use permit, to determine the impact that will occur on the
District's ability to provide adequate school services and facilities for area
students.
A' Sufficient Capacity - If it can be determined that the capacity of the
particular school is sufficient to accommodate the projected enrollment,
a letter of availability .will be provided to the appropriate governmental
agency. ' • .
IV. Increasing Enrollment Capacity
The administration shall explore with developers :and others, interim measures
to mitigate projected overcrowded conditions in District schools. Developers
shall be encouraged to assist the school district to accommodate students pro-
jected from new developments through such efforts as the donation of land for
school sites or through financial contributions for facilities. .»
Plant capacity will be considered adequate when the developer has entered into
a secured agreement with the District to provide assistance acceptable to the
Board of Trustees. When such conditions exist, the administration shall provide
a letter of availability to the appropriate governmental agency.
V. Monitoring System for Developer Contributions
Any monies that accrue to the District as a result of agreements with developers
shall be placed in a special reserve fund for use in mitigating overcrowded
conditions in District schools. A report shall be filed with the appropriate
governmental agency that will account for the funds on an annual basis.
