Response Form: 2022-2023 Marin Civil Grand Jury Report Report Title: Build More ADUs- An RX to Increase Marin's Housing*

and such fees can be a disincentive to homeowners considering ADU development. We partially disagree with the finding. Response The Marin County Civil Grand Jury Report "Build more ADUs - An Rx to Increase Marin's Housing Supply" builds a compelling case relative to the variability and associated uncertainty in fees faced by homeowners considering Accessory Dwelling Unit development. Nonetheless, we partially disagree with the finding as the report does not acknowledge that the government code cited as a basis for the report does not apply to public school districts. In 1986, the California Legislature authorized school districts to levy school impact or developer fees on residential and commercial/industrial development for the purpose of funding the construction or reconstruction of school facilities. The basis of the school facilities legislation is the relationship between new development, and the impact on school districts to provide adequate school facilities for the student population new development generates. The authority for a school district's assessment of developer fees is set forth in Education Code Section 17620, pursuant to Government Code 65995.
