2012113 School District Methodology
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 acreag� 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 b) the per
student land requirement.
(a.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$95,000=$950.00)
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 $ 950 0.005 acacres $475
School
Middle School 0.0040 acres $ 380 0.002 acres $190
High School 0.0040 acres $ 380 0.002 acres $190
Total 0.0180 $1,710 0.009 acres $855
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
$1,710 x 300= $513,000 PILO)
