REFERENCE: Carlsbad City Ordinance Chapter 2155
Dedication of Land and 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 receipts of $37,026 during 1982-83.
A total of $37,026 was expended for temporary classrooms in the atten-
dance area which serves Carlsbad residents.
The Board of Trustees took action at its regular meeting on August 4,
1983, to identify all attendance areas in the San Dieguito Union High
School as overcrowded for the 1983-84 school year. The Board also
revised its policy on the availability of facilities, modifying the
developer fee to take into consideration the increased costs of pro-
viding temporary classrooms. The new fee schedule is as follows:
3+ bedrooms - $1,995
2 bedrooms - $ 863
1 bedroom - $ 324
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. Addi-
tional information is available upon request.

RESOLUTION RE: CONDI T.IONS-OF OVERCROWDING
IN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AREA!
On motion of Member
McCarthy
. Sensibaugh , seconded by Member
the"following resolution is" adopted:
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 Dieguito Union High School District which will impair the normal functioning of
educational programs in those areas:
San Dieguito High School - Grades 9-12
i 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:
San Dieguito High School
Torrey Pines High School
Oak Crest Junior High School
Earl Warren Junior High School
Sunset (continuation) High School

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
-1-
measures considered by tb~ governing board of this distri to reduce the overcrowded
conditions include the fo..owing:
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 n'ew 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) A Long Range Comprehensive Master Plan was adopted in June 1981 that
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. The District has received a Phase I planning grant and a
Phase II grant for working drawings for a junior high school from the State Allocation
Board, but completion of the project will only partially meet the District's master
planning needs. .
(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 within whose boundaries the school district lies
together with copies of this District's policy on the subject of developers',
subdividers', 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.

Dear Mr. Mannen:
Thank you for your letter of September 7, 1983. Contrary to the school
enrollment situation in many areas of California, the San Dieguito Union
High School District is growing in student population, and is expected
to nearly triple in size by the year 2000. Some pertinent information
is:
1. San Dieguito High School (9-12)
Capacity - 1937
Enrollment - 2163
2. Oak Crest Junior High School (7-8)
Capacity - 967
Enrollment - 1018
3. The District has added over 70 portable classrooms to
accommodate the growth during recent years.
4. The District has entered into secured school agreements
for over 4,000 living units in the northern area of our
school district. Agreements for 796 units were added
in 1982-83.
5. During 1982-83 approximately 700 new building permits
were pulled in the area served by San Dieguito High
School and Oak Crest Junior High School.
Mr. Frank N. Mannen

September 28, 1983
6. The District has an application in process with the State
of California for funding a junior high school in the
Village Park area. At this time, the timing of the fund-
ing is uncertain.
In summary, we are in an overcrowded situation now, and the current and
future building activity make it imperative that we continue to collect
developer fees.
Sincerely,
SAN DIEGUITO UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
