35 <br /> CHCCS School Impact Fee Report(DRAFT) <br /> After testing various strategies to accurately allocate students in units with unknown bedroom counts, <br /> TischlerBise, in consultation with the County, determined there was insufficient data to include the entire <br /> housing stock.Therefore,TischlerBise, in consultation with County staff, recommends using local data on <br /> recently built units (with bedroom counts) and geocoded students data for Multifamily and Single Family <br /> Attached rates. This solution avoids a skewed student-to-units ratio that might have resulted from an <br /> inaccurate allocation of students from units with unknown bedroom counts. <br /> For Single Family Detached, Single Family Detached <800 Sq. Ft., and Manufactured Homes, students in <br /> units with unknown bedroom counts reflect less than 10 percent of the total. Therefore, pre-2004 and <br /> 2004-2013 data were combined to derive the student generation rates. For Single Family Detached, <br /> students from unknown units were allocated based upon the breakdown of students generated from units <br /> with known bedroom counts, as shown in Figure A8 and Figure A9. <br /> For instance, for OCS, a portion of the 153 elementary-level students in unknown bedroom count single <br /> family detached units (see Figure A7) are placed in the 0-3 bedroom category by calculating percentage <br /> of known students in the category out of all the known students living in single family detached homes <br /> (77.1 percent, or 2,904 / [2,904 + 731 + 131]). Therefore, 118 students (77.1% x 153) are added to the <br /> known 0-3 bedroom category(1,242 students)to yield a combined known and unknown student count of <br /> 1,360 elementary students. <br /> Figure A8: OCS Single Family Detached Units—Unknown Bedroom Count Student Allocation <br /> Single Family Detached <br /> Unknown Known 0-3 Known 4 Known 5+ <br /> Unadjusted <br /> Elementary 153 1,242 319 44 <br /> Middle 94 669 177 38 <br /> High 123 993 235 49 <br /> Total 370 2,904 731 131 <br /> 77.1% 19.4% 3.5% <br /> Adjusted Known+Unknown <br /> Elementary 1,360 349 49 <br /> Middle 741 195 41 <br /> High 1,088 259 53 <br /> Total 3,189 803 144 <br /> 28 <br />
