               mitigation.  In addition, the number of students that would attend an elementary school within
               the SUSD would likely be much less than 178 once the new school within the project boundaries
               is constructed as a preference is expected for children to attend elementary school within their
               immediate neighborhood.  Therefore, impacts on education facilities within the SSSD would be
               less than significant.


                       (3)  William S. Hart Union High School District


                       The proposed 1,260 single-family residential development is entirely within the HUHSD.
               As shown in Table 4.N-2 on page 4.N-12, approximately 160 junior high students and 301 senior
               high students would be generated by the proposed project.  These students would attend Arroyo
               Seco Junior High School and Saugus High School, respectively.  There are currently no plans to
               expand Arroyo Seco Junior High School, as  expansion recently occurred in Summer 2007.
               Therefore, projected future enrollment in combination with the 160 junior high students
               generated by the proposed project could exceed forecasted future capacity at this school.  As
               discussed above, plans to develop a new theatre building are in place for Saugus High School.
               While, this would provide an additional 96 permanent classrooms to the school, even with this
               expansion, the projected future enrollment, in  combination with the 301 senior high students
               generated by the proposed project, could exceed forecasted future capacity.  Overcrowded
               conditions throughout the HUHSD are expected to improve with the addition of the new Castaic
               High School.


                       The applicant would pay developer fees to the HUHSD.  Level II developer fees will be
               assessed at the current fee rate in place at the time.  Payment of the fees is deemed adequate
               under CEQA to provide full and complete mitigation.
