School Facilities Fee - Menifee Union SD

“The School District is projecting an increase in student enrollment attributable to new development in future years. This projected growth will create a demand for new school facilities to be constructed within the School District and the need to incur significant school facilities costs to meet that demand. As a result, the School District has determined that School Fees should be levied on new development projects.”

“The school facilities costs represent the full cost of site acquisition, site development, construction, furniture and equipment, as well as technology.”

“The School District provides education to students in grades transitional kindergarten ("TK") through 8 residing within portions of the cities of Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Murrieta, Perris and Wildomar (collectively, "Cities") and a portion of the unincorporated County of Riverside ("County")”

“No city or county can issue a building permit for a development project unless such School Fees have been paid.”

“The District will require a copy of the "School Fee Letter" (City) or "Notice of School Impact Mitigation Requirement" (County) in order to prepare your Certificate of Compliance.”

“To the extent Reconstruction increases the residential square footage beyond what was demolished ("New Square Footage"), the increase in square footage is subject to the applicable School Fee as such construction is considered new residential development. As for the amount of square footage constructed that replaces only the previously constructed square footage ("Replacement Square Footage"), the determination of the applicable fee, if any, is subject to a showing that the Replacement Square Footage results in an increase in student enrollment and, therefore, an additional impact being placed on the School District to provide school facilities for new student enrollment.”

“Due to the lack of information, the School District has decided to evaluate the impacts of Commercial/Industrial Reconstruction projects on a case-by-case basis and will make a determination of whether a fee credit is justified based on the nature of the project.”
