Philosophy-Goals-Objectives and Comprehensive Plans BP 0250 POLICY STATEMENT ON GROWTH Policy Statement ft is not the role of the district to oppose or to support a building project,rather, if aproject is proposed, the district must be given an opportunity to mitigate the impact on the school district and the community. As developments are approved by San Joaquin County, the district faces the challenge of providing adequate school housing for student generation rate of more than 1.06 students from construction of new single family homes over the last three year (2000-2003). District Concerns Regarding Housing Starts The San Joaquin Community Planning Department and all future developers must be aware of the following issue which have been raised on behalf of the district; the three specific issues are: 1. The district expects cooperation from all developers of major subdivisions which will impact the district. Full financial mitigation for any future developments are the key factor in ensuring proper school facilities for all students and maintaining high student achievement. 2. Any major subdivision in the district area must improve/mitigate the traffic and safety issues the district particularly along Front ST. and/or around any district school. 3. No major subdivision should decrease the quality of life in the district community. It should be noted our schools serve as the areas' public parks and recreational facilities. There are no public parks or recreational areas within the geographic boundaries of district. As our schools grow, open space for community functions (soccer, baseball) will be squeezed and over utilized. Conclusion District feels it is important to continually demand mitigation relief for any proposed development. To maintain a high quality of life, the district must be involved in the planning of the community in which our schools play a critical part. Therefore, unless all three areas of this policy statement are adequately met, the districts' position may be to oppose any such project.
