Unless the decision-making body especially determines to the contrary, the City Council hereby determines that the following findings and requirements shall apply to any residential develop- ment of fifty units or less: 1. All such developments shall be required to pay fees in accordance with the schedule in Exhibit A. 2. The City Council has reviewed that portion of the General Plan which applies to the Encinitas Union School District and finds that it provides for the location of public schools. 3. That the fees to be paid shall be used for the purpose of providing interim school facilities. 4. That the fees to be paid for each unit bear a reasonable relationship to the burdens placed on the School District by such unit and that the fees will be used to mitigate that burden. 5. That the school facilities to be funded by the fees are consistent with the City's General Plan. E. The standards adopted by this resolution do not at this time require the dedication of land. The Encinitas Union School District is developing standards regarding such dedications. When the District is prepared to make their recommendations in that regard, the City Council intends to amend this resolution to include provisions for requiring the dedication of land as they determine to be in the public interests.
