a. 
Funds presently available from the State of California to finance construction of school facilities and to improve and modernize existing school facilities are inadequate to provide 100% financing. As a result, traditional methods of financing school facilities within the River Delta Unified School District are not adequate for the projected student growth.
b. 
Urban, residential development has occurred, is occurring and is planned to occur within the boundaries of the River Delta Unified School District. Based upon evidence presented to and considered by the Board of Supervisors, absent a funding source for the construction of new school facilities and the modernization of existing school facilities, such development will significantly impact school facilities within said District.
c. 
Pursuant to Policy PF-41 of the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan, the Board of Supervisors makes the following findings: (1) River Delta Unified School District has adopted a Final Facilities Master Plan, dated June 1995, which is consistent with the time horizon of the County General Plan; (2) River Delta Unified School District's Final Facilities Master Plan delineates the source and amount of funds required to fully implement this plan; (3) year-round schooling is infeasible, as supported by the River Delta Unified School District's Feasibility Study on year-round schooling, within the service area where mitigation fees would be applied because of the area's large employment base in agriculture and the economic and child-care hardships that year-round schooling would create for those parents working in agriculture; and (4) River Delta Unified School District has demonstrated participation in the State School Construction Bond Program by diligently pursuing such financing as evidenced by the filing of two applications for state funding in 1995 for modernization of its existing facilities, both of which are currently in process.
d. 
The River Delta Unified School District has prepared a nexus study included in its Final Facilities Master Plan, dated June 1995, which analyzes the impacts of contemplated future residential development in the School District and the need for new school facilities and the modernization of existing school facilities necessitated by such residential development. This nexus study establishes a reasonable relationship between new residential development, the needed facilities, their estimated costs and the amount of the fee imposed by this chapter.
e. 
Absent the fees imposed by this chapter, the lack of a means to finance adequate school facilities and to upgrade existing school facilities, coupled with existing and proposed land use designations within the District creates a current and immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare. The approval of additional changes to land use designations for increased residential development within the District will create a further threat to the public health, safety and welfare.
(SCC 1041 § 2, 1996)
a. 
On and after the effective date of this chapter all changes to land use designations which increase the capacity for residential development of the property subject to the land use change shall be conditioned to require the payment of additional mitigation fees for the purpose of mitigating impacts on school facilities within the River Delta Unified School District. The additional mitigation fee for single family residential shall be $1.12 per square foot of residential construction. The additional mitigation fee for multi family residential shall be $0.95 per square foot of residential construction. Such fees shall be in addition to developer fees required by Government Code Section 65996, as well as any District Mello-Roos taxes. Such fees shall be due and payable to the River Delta Unified School District and no building permit for such residential construction shall be issued absent certification that such fees have been paid.
b. 
Residential development projects that were approved prior to the effective date of this chapter, which are conditioned to be subject to any school facility impact program to be established by the River Delta Unified School District and the payment of any additional mitigation fees required under such a program shall be subject to the fee imposed by this chapter.
(SCC 1041 § 2, 1996)
The fees imposed by this chapter shall adjusted for inflation each January 1, commencing with 1997 based upon the change in the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (average of 20 cities and San Francisco) for the prior year.
(SCC 1041 § 2, 1996)
On and after the effective date of this chapter all changes to land use designations within the District which permit increased residential development shall be conditioned as follows:
"No building permit shall be issued until the developer has paid, in addition to any other fees and taxes which may be required, those fees imposed by Chapter 16.110 of the Sacramento County Code as such may be amended from time to time and to the extent that said Chapter remains in effect."
