The School District will require proof that such senior units are indeed restricted to seniors (i.e. a copy of the recorded CC&Rs or deed(s)) and reserves the right to revoke a Certificate of Compliance and/or require payment of difference of the amount per square foot paid to the then current amount of School Fees being levied on residential development per square foot should such CC&Rs or deed(s) be modified to allow students to reside in such housing units.”
