The ultimate number of students to be generated by a subdivision, planned unit development and/or special use permit shall bear directly upon the amount of land required to be dedicated for school sites. The land dedication requirement shall be determined by obtaining the ratio of:
A. Estimated children to be served in each school classification (this number is determined by applying the estimated ultimate population per dwelling unit table [section 8-7-1-9, table 8-7-1-9A, of this chapter] to the number of respective units in the development) over the;
B. Actual average number of students to be served in each such school classification as stated herein, and then applying such ratio to the;
C. Said number of acres for a school site of each such classification as stated herein. The product thereof shall be the acres of land deemed needed to have sufficient land for school sites to serve the estimated increased children in each such school classification. For purposes of this computation, it is presumed that each single-family home will have three (3) bedrooms. For other dwelling units, such as townhouses and apartments, it is presumed that each unit will have two (2) bedrooms.
Example: Development A is composed of 100 single-family units:
Estimated children by school classification Actual school population by school classification | x | Actual acreage by school classification | = | Land donation |
Classification By Grades | County Average Students Per School Classification | County Acreage Per School Classification |
Elementary | 850 students | 20 acres |
Middle | 500 students | 30 acres |
High | 1,000 students | 80 acres |
Elementary: | 100 x 0.369 x 20 = 0.8682 acres | |
850 | ||
Middle: | 100 x 0.173 x 30 = 1.038 acres | |
500 | ||
High school: | 100 x 0.184 x 80 = 1.472 acres | |
1,000 | ||
Total acreage = 3.378 | ||
