“Staff will determine if fees must be paid to a school district. If required, fees must be paid prior to the issuance of building permits. This determination is based on the nature of the work proposed and the location of the property.”

“Although the school districts are responsible for the collection of fees, the City of Irvine cannot issue building permits for development subject to school fee requirements until the applicant demonstrates that fees have been paid.”

“Certain areas within the boundaries of the Irvine Unified School District are exempt from the fee requirements. Fees will not be imposed in conjunction with development within Community Facilities District (CFD) Nos. 85-1 and 86-1. The Irvine Unified School District has the authority to impose special taxes within a CFD to fund school construction and has, therefore, decided not to impose additional fees in conjunction with development in these areas.”

“The School District has entered into mitigation agreements with certain property owners and/or developers, whereby the terms of the mitigation agreements require mitigation payments in lieu of paying School Fees. As a result of, or in addition to such mitigation agreements, the School District established community facilities districts, whereby special taxes are collected in lieu of paying School Fees.”
