�ha 5aTNT CITY OF AGENDA REPORT g y [ SI�NT_" CITY COUNCIL L0 ND BOARD EDG OF TRUSTEES 1 t April 27, 2015 TITLE: Review and Discussion Regarding PUSD Demographic Analysis and East Pleasanton Planning BACKGROUND: Davis Demographics & Planning, Inc. (DDP) was contracted to prepare an update to student population projections by residence for Fall 2014 through Fall 2024 using the Ten-Year Projection Methodology and a "build-out" study using the Maturation Methodology. DDP worked under the guidance of the Pleasanton Planning Division who collaborated with the City Planning Manager to draft a schedule for future development. Davis Demographics & Planning, Inc. reviewed the current status of housing development, student generation rates from new and existing housing and actual student enrollment data. This data enabled them to determine in detail the location of our current student population by type of housing in specific areas of the City, to project the number of students from future new housing, and the potential effect of turnover of existing housing on future enrollments. The Maturation Methodology process combines current housing, projected development, and an estimate of additional potential housing using aerial photos, area zoning maps, and discussions with City staff. This study provides the District the ability to plan for long-term possibilities based on vacant land being developed under current zoning policies. The demographer's report is an integral element of District planning. Budget development (e.g., staff needs and revenue generation), potential growth needs based on future housing, and resulting developer fees are significantly influenced by these projects. Please be reminded that the projections are based on where the students reside and where they should be attending school. DDP uses the school of residence, as opposed to the school of enrollment, in order to provide the most accurate estimate of where future school facilities should be located. On April 14, 2015, the PUSD Board of Trustees conducted a study session on the Fall 2014 Demographic Report. The link to the report is included below and a slide presentation is attached (attachment A). A representative from Davis Demographics & Planning, Inc. will be present at the meeting to make a presentation and answer any questions regarding this report.
