Re: Effect of Albers II General Plan Amendment on Byron Union Elementary School District Dear Clerk of the Board: I am writing to you on behalf of the Byron Union Elementary School District, to request that, in approving the Albers II General Plan amendment, you require the developer (s) of residential property within the covered area to fully mitigate the effect of such development upon the School District. As was discussed when the School District appeared before you on the appeal of the Zoning Administrator' s decision to approve Phase I of the Albers Property development, this development will have a substantial impact upon the School District. We anticipate that approximately 49 students will be generated by the project. Since the School District has no remaining capacity to house additional students, it will have to build additional facilities, at a cost of nearly $470, 000 to the School District for these 97 homes alone. On A`-ust 1, 1.994 , the "School Di-strict appeared 'uefor e the East County Regional Planning Commission of th•e County of Contra Costa, to address this issue. As a result of the discussions at that meeting, the Planning Commission has recommended that the School District revise its Facilities Plan and that the developer(s) pay their share of the costs of the facilities that are necessitated by the development, the cost to be determined according to the facilities plan. Although the School District is in agreement with the concept proposed by the Planning Commission, it requests that the proposed language be amended prior to adoption by the Board of Supervisors . (While the concepts were discussed by the Planning Commission, we did not have the ADD Board of Supervisors County of Contra Costa September 2 , 1994 Page 2 opportunity before the Commission to discuss the actual language to be proposed. ) The School District requests that the proposed Policy 3-9x to the General Plan, as suggested for the Albers II General Plan Amendment, be amended as shown: Development of the Albers II general plan amendment area is intended to accommodate up to 97 residential units. Development applications within the general plan amendment area will be approved only upon assurances, through project conditions of approval to the extent allowable under State law, that all needed public facilities, including school facilities enn w '1 ............... . ........... be provided.

As recommended at your August 16th hearing on our appeal of the Zoning Administrator' s decision, we are working with I Language suggested by the Planning Commission which the School District would like to have omitted is typed in strikeout type, while language which the School District would like to have included is typed in redline type. ♦ ;r tl e 7 d _ Board of Supervisors County of Contra Costa September 2 , 1994 Page 3 Centex Homes to determine if we can negotiate a mutually agreeable solution to this issue without involving the Board of Supervisors. However, as I will be describing to you in that context, we do not expect that process to be concluded prior to your decision on the Albers II General Plan Amendment. - Consequently, we request that you include this language in the documents adopted in implementing this issue. On behalf of the School District, I want to thank you for the consideration you are giving the needs of the School District as residential development within the School District increases. If you have any questions as you consider this issue prior to hearing, please do not hesitate to contact me, at (510) 634-6644 . Very truly yours, It Margat Green Superintendent cc: Steven P.
