Title
APPROVAL OF FEE SCHEDULE FOR SCHOOL CONCURRENCY REVIEWS
Description
Chapters 163 and 1013, F.S., require each School Board to implement School Concurrency upon a date determined by the Florida Department of Community Affairs; Sarasota County's date is October 1, 2008. On September 2, 2008, the School Board adopted Policy 778 to implement a comprehensive growth management program including School Concurrency. Section (4)(c) of the policy authorizes an application process including fees calculated to cover costs for planning and legal review, based upon the size and scope of the project. Staff determined these fees to parallel similar fees in other school districts and similar fees for development applications within the five governments in Sarasota County. The schedule exempts de minimus developments where the total number of units would generate less than one student. The largest of fees are for Developments of Regional Impact, for more than 2,000 dwelling units, for which substantial staff and legal review is required for 10-20 years or more.
Recommendation
That the School Board of Sarasota County ratify the School Concurrency Application Fee Schedule, effective October 1, 2008, as attached.
