3 <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is minimal financial impact (staff time and legal advertisement) in <br /> holding a public hearing. Continued residential growth in both school districts is expected to <br /> result in school capital costs which can be recouped by charging new residential development <br /> for its proportional impacts on school facilities. Attachment 5 provides Historical Impact Fee <br /> Activity. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to <br /> this agenda item: <br /> • GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES <br /> The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes <br /> and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of <br /> environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions. Fair treatment means that no <br /> group of people should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental <br /> consequences resulting from industrial, governmental and commercial operations or <br /> policies. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br /> 1.
