Pursuant to Subdivision (d) of Education Code Section
17072.12, a
cost benefit analysis must be made to determine if it is more economical to
utilize the existing district-owned site currently used for a non-school
function as a school site rather than acquire an alternative site in the
district. A determination that it is more economical to use the existing
district-owned site as a school site will be made if the current estimated
value of the district-owned site as determined in (a)(3) is less than the
current estimated value of an alternative site as determined in (b)(5).
(a) Current Estimated Value of District-Owned
Site.
(1) Determine the value of the
district-owned site by a preliminary appraisal or an appraisal made or updated
no more than six months prior to submittal of the Approved Application to the
OPSC. The appraisal shall include any buildings on the site and shall be made
using the guidelines in Section
1859.74.1. The appraised value
shall be increased for the following:
(A) The
relocation expenses that conform to Title 25, California Code of Regulations,
Section
6000, et seq. The reasonable and
necessary relocation costs for purchasing fixtures and equipment, personal
property, new machinery/equipment and the installation of any improvements at
the replacement residence or business location may be included as relocation
assistance. Do not include relocation expenses applicable to the relocation of
district personnel, district buildings/furnishings or district
equipment.
(B) Four percent of the
appraised value determined in (a)(1), but not less than $50,000. This amount
shall provide an allowance for appraisals, escrow, survey, site testing, CDE
review/approvals and the preparation of the POESA and the PEA.
(C) The estimated DTSC costs for review,
approval, and oversight of the POESA and the PEA.
(2) Determine the estimated current site
development cost that would be necessary on the district-owned site if it were
to be used as a school site pursuant to Section
1859.76. Estimated cost for
demolition of existing buildings on the site may be included as a site
development cost.
(3) Add the
amount determined in (a)(1) to the amount determined in
(a)(2).
(b) Current
Estimated Value of Alternative Site.
(1) The
district must identify an alternative site within the boundaries of the
district that meet all the following:
(A) The
alternative site is an approvable site by the CDE.
(B) The alternative site is located no more
than three miles from the district owned site if the project is for a high
school, no more than two miles from the district owned site if the project is
for a middle school and no more than one mile from the district owned site if
the project is for an elementary school.
(2) Determine the value of the alternative
site selected in (b)(1) by a preliminary appraisal or an appraisal made or
updated no more than six months prior to submittal of the Approved Application
to the OPSC. The appraisal shall include any buildings on the alternative site
and shall be made using the guidelines in Section
1859.74.1. The appraised value
shall be increased for the following:
(A) The
relocation expenses that conform to Title 25, California Code of Regulations,
Section
6000, et seq. The reasonable and
necessary relocation costs for purchasing fixtures and equipment, personal
property, new machinery/equipment and the installation of any improvements at
the replacement residence or business location may be included as relocation
assistance.
(B) Four percent of the
appraised value determined in (b)(2), but not less than $50,000. This amount
shall provide an allowance for appraisals, escrow, survey, site testing, CDE
review/approvals and the preparation of the POESA and the PEA.
(C) The estimated DTSC costs for review,
approval, and oversight of the POESA and the PEA.
(D) The estimated current site development
cost that would be necessary on the alternative site if it were to be used as a
school site pursuant to Section
1859.76. Estimated cost for
demolition of existing buildings on the alternative site may be included as a
site development cost.
(3) Determine the average appraised value per
acre by dividing the appraised value of the alternative site determined in
(b)(2) by the number of acres of the alternative site.
(4) Multiply the average appraised value per
acre of the alternative site determined in (b)(3) by the number of acres of the
district-owned site identified in (a).
(5) Multiply the quotient determined in
(b)(4) by 110 percent.
