Concurrency Calculation Issue

u  Schools like Southside become overpopulated due to the number of new residential projects in the district boundary.

u  Section 163.3180, F.S. allows local governments to allocate students produced by new developments to a nearby school district for concurrency calculation purposes.

u  Those students cannot attend the schools outside their boundary and the necessary funds for school expansion are never requested due to the loophole created by Section 163.3180.

u  This results in developers avoiding school concurrency fees, while students that new construction generates still being assigned to the overpopulated schools.

School Impact Fees u  Sec. 33K-11 of the County Code mandates:

u  “Any educational facilities impact fees … are expressly designated and earmarked for the accommodation of capital educational facility impacts reasonably attributable to new residential development.”

u  “The School Board shall spend these educational facility impact fees solely for capital educational facilities necessitated by new residential development.”

u  The development “boom” in Brickell should have produced millions of impact fee dollars in the last 5 years. u  None of these funds were allocated for improvement or expansion of

Southside Elementary, which is the only public school designated solely for the Brickell area.

u  Southside is operating at overcapacity.

u  There is no space to accommodate the new students being generated by over 6,000 units already approved to be constructed in the next 2 years.

u  New projects, such as One Brickell (1,400 residential units), are going through the approval process and will generate additional student population.
