“AB 2926 also established cities or counties may not issue a building permit for a development project unless such School Fees have been paid and set the maximum level of School Fees at $1.50 per square foot for residential development and $0.25 per square foot for commercial/industrial development.”

“the determination of the applicable fee, if any, is subject to a showing that the Replacement Square Footage results in an increase in student enrollment and, therefore, an additional impact being placed on the District to provide school facilities for new student enrollment.”

“Any reduction to the School Fee would only occur if the reduced amount falls below the School Fee. In such a case, the District would levy the reduced amount per square foot of new residential construction for the subject Reconstruction project.”
