V. CAPITAL FACILITIES NEEDS Projected available student capacity was derived by subtracting projected FTE student enrollment from existing school capacity (excluding relocatable classrooms) for each of the six years in the forecast period (2012-2017). Capacity needs are expressed in terms of"unhoused students." The method used to define future capacity needs assumes no new construction. For this reason planned construction projects are not included at this point. This factor is added later as indicated in Tables 10 & 11. By the end of the six-year forecast period (2017), additional classroom capacity will be needed as follows: Table 9—New Un-housed Students in 2017 Grade Span New Un-housed Students Elementary(K-5) 576* Middle School(6-8) 519 High School(9-12) 569 Total(K-12) 1,688 *2017 balance of 24 students minus 600 students If no school is built in 2016. See Table 10 Projected future capacity needs are depicted in Table 10. They are derived by applying the projected number of students to the projected capacity. Planned improvements by the District through 2017 are included. It is not the District's policy to include relocatable classrooms when determining future capital facility needs; therefore interim capacity provided by relocatable classrooms is not included. (Information on relocatable classrooms and interim capacity can be found in Table 4. Information on planned construction projects can be found in Section VI.) Current enrollment at each grade level is identified in Table 10. The District is currently over capacity at the elementary level by 983 students, there is no deficiency at the middle school level, and has 435 un-housed students at the high school level. Future capacity deficiency calculations are net of these figures to ensure that only un-housed students from growth are considered in determining if the District qualifies for the collection of impact fees. Even though existing nnhoused students cannot be counted in determining impact fees,they still create capacity challenges for the District. The District's enrollment projections, in Table 10,have been applied to the existing capacity and the District will be over capacity at the elementary level by 1559 students, at the middle school level by 519 students and at the high school level by 1004 students if no capacity improvements are made by the year 2017. The District expects that .491 students will be generated from each new single family home in the District and that .390 students will be generated from each new multi-family 2+unit. These numbers are based upon the District's student generation rates (Table 12). The District's six-year capital improvement plan to address these deficiencies is found in Table 11. 13
