Exhibit B
Poudre School District
2011/12 School District Methodology
J
Based on the School District Planning Standards contained in Exhibit A, calculation of
land dedication or in-lieu payments uses the following procedures:
1. The student yield is determined by the number of attached dwelling units.
(e.g. Category A, Elementary School = 0.35).
2. The amount of land required per student is calculated by dividing the acreage
by the capacity.
(e.g. Elementary School = 15 acres/525 students = 0.029).
3. The acreage per dwelling unit is determined .by multiplying the student yield
by the per student land requirement.
(e.g. 0.35 yield x 0.029 acres = 0.010)
4. To convert the land dedication requirement into in-lieu payments, the acreage
per dwelling unit is multiplied by the developed land value.
(e.g. 0.010 acres x $89,000 = $890.00)
Summary
The total land dedication or in-lieu payment per dwelling unit is:
Category A Category B
1 to 4 attached units 5 or more attached units
Land PILO' Land PILO'
Elementary 0.0100 acres $ 890 0.005 acres $445
School
Middle School 0.0040 acres $ 355 0.002 acres $177.50
High School 0.0040 acres $ 355 0.002 acres $177.50
Total 0.0180 $1,600 0.009 acres $800
acres
To determine the land or in-lieu payments for a proposed residential development, the
per dwelling unit totals above would be multiplied by the total number of dwelling units in
the development.
(e.g. 300 single family units = 0.0180 x 300 = 5.4 acre dedication or
$1,600 x 300 = $480,000 PILO)
'PILO means payment-in-lieu-of land dedication
