Section 17622 Of Chapter 6. Development Fees,charges, And Dedications From California Education Code >> Division 1. >> Title 1. >> Part 10.5. >> Chapter 6.
17622
. (a) No fee, charge, dedication, or other requirement may be
levied by any school district pursuant to Section 17620 upon any
greenhouse or other space that is covered or enclosed for
agricultural purposes, unless and until the district first complies
with subdivisions (b) and (c).
(b) The school district governing board shall make a finding,
supported by substantial evidence, of both of the following:
(1) The amount of the proposed fees or other requirements and the
location of the land, if any, to be dedicated, bear a reasonable
relationship and are limited to the needs of the community for
elementary or high school facilities caused by the development.
(2) The amount of the proposed fees or other requirements does not
exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing for the
construction or reconstruction of the school facilities necessitated
by the development projects from which the fees or other requirements
are to be collected.
(c) In determining the amount of the fees or other requirements,
if any, to be levied on the development of any structure as described
in subdivision (a), the school district governing board shall
consider the relationship between the proposed increase in the number
of employees, if any, the size and specific use of the structure,
and the cost of the construction. No fee, charge, dedication, or
other form of requirement, as authorized under Section 17620, shall
be applied to the development of any structure described in
subdivision (a) where the governing board finds either that the
number of employees is not increased as a result of that development,
or that housing has been provided for those employees, to the extent
of any increase, by their employer, against which housing a fee,
charge, or dedication, or other form of requirement has been applied
under Section 17620. In developing the finding described in this
section, the governing board shall consult with the county
agricultural commissioner or the county director of the cooperative
extension service.
