Section 5. That the Board finds that there is a roughly proportional, reasonable relationship between the new residential construction upon which the Statutory School Fees are imposed, and the need for additional School Facilities in the District because new students will be generated from new residential construction within the District, which results in projected unhoused students. Section 6. That the Board finds that the amount of the Statutory School Fees imposed on new residential construction as set forth in this Resolution is roughly proportional and reasonably related to, and does not exceed the cost of, providing the School Facilities required to serve the students generated by such new residential construction within the District.

Section 9. That the Board finds that there is a roughly proportional, reasonable relationship between the use of the Statutory School Fees and new commercial/industrial construction by category within the District because the Statutory School Fees imposed on commercial/industrial construction by this Resolution will be used to fund School Facilities which will be used to serve the students generated by such new commercial/industrial construction. Section 10. That the Board finds that there is a roughly proportional, reasonable relationship between the new commercial/industrial construction by category, upon which the Statutory School Fees are imposed, and the need for additional School Facilities in the District because new students will be generated from new commercial/industrial construction within the District, which results in projected unhoused students. Section 11. That the Board finds that the amount of the Statutory School Fees imposed on new commercial/industrial construction by category as set forth in this Resolution is roughly proportional and reasonably related to and does not exceed the cost of providing the School Facilities required to serve the students generated by such new commercial/industrial construction within the District.
