Tom Gau February 18, 1998 Page 2 • To accommodate new students, the District may need to increase classrooms, cafeterias, bathrooms, etc. Transportation costs would increase if buses are needed to transport students to other school sites. In satisfaction of the San Joaquin County General Plan requirements at N. 82-83, the District makes the following representations to the County, including the Planning Commission/Board of Supervisors. 1. The Linden Unified School District has imposed all school mitigation fees possible pursuant to Government Code section 53050. The fees will be insufficient to cover the costs of the influx of new students from t h e rroposed development. :adequate school facilities cannot be made available concurrently with the need for such facilities. 2. The Linden Unified School District has filed a current copy of its School Facilities Plan with the Community Development Department; 3. The School Facilities Plan accurately documents the District's existing facilities and provides future school facilities projections, both short and long term, and demonstrates the use of the current and projected revenues which are anticipated to meet those needs; 4. The School Facilities Plan documents the District's reasonable good faith efforts to seek all available funding without substantial prejudice to t h e District's reasonable historical educational standards, and a current representation regarding the prospects for seeking and/or obtaining funds i n the reasonable foreseeable future; 5. The District filed any amended School Facilities Plans with t h e Community Development department within thirty (30) days after their adoption. The Linden Unified School District urges that San Joaquin County, i n order to comply with its own General Plan, require f u 1„J mi t i g,at.io a of the impacts upon the schools in the Linden Unified School District. Mitigation should include 'both developer tees and the formation, of a Mello-Roos district unless an alternative method is found to fully mitigate the impact on the schools. The District is agreeable to negotiating with the developer and the County in order to reach agreement on a funding mechanism or other solution which will result in full mitigation. The District also believes that the issue of school overcrowding should b e i addressed in the environmental review process. incerei , 14 o ald J t;s` s. Ed.D.
