The Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego finds and declares as follows:
(a) Sufficient, adequate school facilities should be available to serve new development.
(b) County review of proposed legislative action provides the opportunity to ensure that adequate school facilities are available when needed.
(c) In many school districts in the County, sufficient funds for the expansion or construction of school facilities and the purchase of educational equipment necessitated by increased enrollment are not available. Any County legislative actions that increase the impact on schools would further exacerbate funding problems.
(d) The public health and safety and the general welfare of the community and all its citizens are negatively affected by a lack of facilities sufficient to provide for the education of the young people of the County of San Diego.
(e) County involvement is needed to alleviate the impacts on existing educational facilities and equipment of development resultant from legislative actions by the Board of Supervisors.
(f) For these reasons, enhanced methods of mitigating the impact on school facilities caused by legislative actions are needed in San Diego County.
