Pursuant to Section 65995.5(b) of the Government Code, the District must conduct and adopt a School Facilities needs Analysis (“SFNA”) as one of the prerequisites to levying alternative school facility fees on new construction of residences within the District in excess of those established in amounts specified in Section 65995 of Government Code (“Alternative School Facility Fees”).

The projection of unhoused pupils is based on the historical generation rates on new residential units constructed during the previous five years that are of a similar type of unit to those anticipated to be constructed either in the District or the city or county in which the District is located, and relevant planning agency information, such as multi-phased development projects that may modify the historical figures. In accordance with Section 65995.6 of the Government Code, the SFNA also contains a calculation of existing school building capacity, calculated pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 17071.10 of Chapter 12.5 of Part 10 of the Education Code).
