CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ON SCHOOLS
The proposed residential development application encompasses several parcels and is generally
located at the southeast corner of S Meridian Road and E Lake Hazel Road in the east% of the
northwest % of Section 6, T2N, R1E. This section of the memo looks at cumulative impacts over
a broad area and provides entitlement data in areas affected by the subject application. The
following information is intended as a reference, rather than a decisive tool, and serves to
forecast the number of school-aged children, enrolled in both public and private schools, using
city-wide census data. Within the last five years, there have been 2,460 entitled units (2,272
single-family and 188 multi-family) approved within a 1-mile radius of the project location
resulting in approximately 1,436 school-aged children.

Exhibit A
West Ada School District
STUDENT GENERATION RATES
West Ada School District (WASD) uses a Student Generation Rate (SGR) to determine what
impact future development will have on enrollments. The applicant did not provide the
number of either single family and/or multi family units proposed as part of their application.
Therefore, staff had to calculate a rough estimate of student generation rates based on the
applicant's concept plan. The calculations for these estimates are as follows: 1) R-15 portion
(Town homes/Si ngle Family): 58.52 acres X 15 units an acre = 878 single family units and 2) C-G
Portion (Multi-Family): 11.4 acres X 15 units an acre = 171 units. In total, there could be
approximately 458 school-aged children. The proposed project is within the following school
boundaries, currently, and approval of the project may affect enrollments at these schools:
