[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course they will, unless they are in buckingham. Like the new Red Cross site. It went through the housing commission with more 80% ami units to attract higher incomes. After housing commission approval, they switched it back down to 40-60 ami. Yet somehow the developer got away with that. [/quote]

If you live in ANY SA school that will be affected by boundary changes this fall, I IMPLORE YOU to ask SB and APS staff to state how many children they estimate will live at the Berkeley and at Gilliam Place once completed.

They have these numbers - it's simply a matter of applying their own student generation factors to the number of plannedunits. They have these factors for many types of housing, including SFH.

But my understanding from reading he PowerPoint is that they  are only going to report scenario statistics in the aggregate. By school total, not by planning unit. This is not at all transparent and lends itself to underestimating these developments impact, or using old numbers. And there is political pressure to do just that.

Please, in your conversations with staff and sb, politely ask what the estimate for these developments are, and if you are stonewalled, ask why. I will. We're talking about at least 250 students - half an elementary school. That needs to be a topic of conversation now, not in 2 years when the schools are even more  crowded and segregated, and our leaders throw up their hands and say, " her, who knew?"[/quote]
