At the request of staff, the City Attorney explained that State law does provide that a school district may impose a fee upon development projects as defined by the Government Code, however pointed out that the term development project has a very specific meaning under the Goverment Code and referred to in the new legislation, which excludes ministerial 1-26-87 projects and therefore only applies to discretionary projects. He explained that if a project only required that a building permit be issued by the City, that would be - considered a ministerial project, which is consistent with the interpretation of other provisions of State law dealing with discretionary versus ministerial projects. Mr. Stepanicich advised that if an approval were required of the Planning Commission or Council for, as an example, a variance, CUP, tentative tract map or zone change, that I would deem the development to be discretionary and subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. He noted that a project determined to be discretionary will be subject to payment of the school development fee, however under the present definitions in the State statute, a ministerial project will not be subject to such fee. He pointed out that historically in California school fees have only been imposed on discretionary projects, and that the existing authority, prior to this year, was under the Subdivision Map Act, allowing cities to impose a developer fee for construction of interim school facilities for projects requiring a tentative tract map, also noting that some cities have imposed a school fee as an environmental mitigation measure, those fees again only imposed on discretionary projects. In response to Council, he confirmed that an improvement to a non-conforming property would be required to pay the school fee since the project would require a discretionary approval by the Planning Commission.
