The Program EIR defmes impacts on schools as the following:<br />
"Impacts _on school districts are considered significant if the project will result<br />
in generation <strong>of</strong> students and demands for school services which exceed the short<br />
or long-term capacity <strong>of</strong> district facilities, and normal district fInancing sources<br />
will not <strong>of</strong>fset project-related costs <strong>of</strong> providing additional facilities and<br />
services. ,,73<br />
The <strong>Glendale</strong> Unified School District (District) provides public education for children<br />
residing in the Redevelopment Area. According to the District, all but three (Keppel<br />
Elementary, Mountain Avenue Elementary and Crescenta Valley High School) <strong>of</strong> the District's<br />
26 elementary, junior high, and high schools are currently overcrowded, and all schools within<br />
the District fall below the "Enrollment Site Standards" set by the Urban Planning and Design<br />
Criteria. In order to expand District facilities, the District levies developer fees <strong>of</strong> $1.72 per<br />
square foot <strong>of</strong> residential, and $0.28 per square foot <strong>of</strong> non-residential development.74 In<br />
addition, school construction costs are estimated to be $10,000 per student. 75<br />
Student generation occurs both directly from new residential development and indirectly<br />
from non-residential development. The units proposed in the Redevelopment Plan will generate<br />
468 new students in the District over the 20-year horizon <strong>of</strong> the plan, based on the District's<br />
student generation factor <strong>of</strong> 0.4 students per residential unit. 76 This will result in a total<br />
student population in the Redevelopment Area at buildout <strong>of</strong> 1,169. Due to the current<br />
overcrowded conditions at District schools, along with the existing extensive use <strong>of</strong> portable<br />
