CityCouncil | 2010-01-05 | 7 | Board Member Jensen inquired whether the initiative provides any protection for the School District. Ms. Freilich responded the initiative, which is a zoning document not a school document, does not address schools at all other than to say that a school will be built on site; stated the initiative says a school will be built on the site as part of the public benefits. Board Member Jensen inquired where said issue is included in the initiative. Ms. Freilich responded that she was mistaken; stated the initiative includes that a library will be built [as part of the public benefits], not a school. Board Member Jensen inquired whether the initiative includes $25 million for a school. Ms. Freilich responded the $25 million has nothing to do with the initiative; stated based on the School District's current fee structure, the State would require payment of $25 million [in mitigation fees] if all of the development at the site takes place; the State has said the amount is the maximum that a developer can be required to pay as part of the CEQA mitigation and that payment is considered full mitigation; SunCal has indicated that it is willing to: 1) go over and above that [amount] with respect to contributions; 2) enter into a School Mitigation Agreement; and 3) provide infrastructure; the pro forma put in the land for free; SunCal is willing to talk about all of the issues with the School District, but has not had the conversation yet because it [the project] is not far enough along. Board Member Jensen stated the School District would like to do so as well and has tried to do so over the past four or five months; inquired whether the $25 million for schools would be part of the $200 million cap, to which Ms. Freilich responded in the negative. Board Member Jensen stated the public benefits list in Table 8.1 [Exhibit E, page 8-4] includes a school facility project. Ms. Freilich stated the cap on the public benefits is only in Exhibit F; a school is not listed in the $200 million cap. Board Member Jensen inquired whether the amount [$25 million] is an additional amount [above the $200 million cap], to which Ms. Freilich responded in the affirmative; stated the amount is additional as is the TDM program that is laid out in the document. Board Member Jensen stated the initiative states 14 out of the 21 projects would be funded either partially or entirely by a public assessment that would be a tax, fee or charge imposed only on property owners within the plan area; inquired whether the public assessments would be part of the 2% cap. Ms. Freilich responded these [projects on list] are all in the pro forma and are well under the 2% cap even including the impact fees for the school.
