SUBJECT: PACHECO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE
SPECIFIC REQUESTS OR RECOMMEND TIONS &B CKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
DIRECT staff to work with the Mt. Diablo Unified School District and the future
developer of the Pacheco Elementary School site to provide a public facility within

REQUEST that the Pacheco Town Council address the issues of what kind of
community facility is desired by the Pacheco community and the method by which

Ii. Financial Impact:
' See Paragraph III below.
Ill. Reasons for Recommendations and Background
On April 16; 1991, the Pacheco Town Council requested the Board of Supervisors to
find funds to purchase the Pacheco Elementary School site at 25% of its appraised
value as permitted under the Naylor Act.
There is currently $103,689.98 in the Pacheco Park Dedication Fund.
The appraised value of the site is $2.5 million. The School District will use the
revenue from property sale for repayment of the loan necessary to remove asbestos
from Northgate High School.
The purchase of the school site is based on a long standing concern in Pacheco over
loss of land for community facilities. This concern is serious and there is a desire
by the Board and staff to meet the needs of the Pacheco community.

In responding to the needs of Pacheco, the County must address several issues:
1. What type of community facilities would best serve Pacheco?
Decision on the type of community facilities has not been made and will require
a community process. Acquisition of land and construction of facilities can
lead to waste and disappointment without sufficient community support.
Unless the $103,689.98 is increased significantly, the funds would not cover
land and construction. Establishing a weed patch or a costly unused facility
would be tragic.
2. How would such a facility be maintained?
There are two primary means for maintaining a facility.
a. Have a public entity maintain the facility.
b. Require a private entity to have primary maintenance responsibility as
a condition of approval.
In either case, funds are needed from the public to operate a public facility.
It is unknown whether the community of Pacheco will support an assessment
district for a community facility.
3. What effect would a Naylor Act purchase have on the Mt. Diablo Unified School
District?
The reduction of value of surplus property through a Naylor Act acquisition
would require the School District to cut programs further to meet financial
obligations.
4. If the Naylor Act deadline passes, are there other options for community
facility development on this site?
The opportunity for establishing a community facility on the site is not lost if
the Naylor Act deadline passes. Future development will need a change in
zoning. Staff would recommend a P-1 designation that could include open
space and/or a community facility depending on the circumstances of
development.
It is fortunate that the issue of the school site purchase has surfaced. With
additional input from Pacheco, the Board and staff can take steps to meet
community need.
