Facilities Review Process
“In an effort to oversee the facilities projects at earlier stages of development, the Commission refined the review process in 2002. When a segment enters a discussion to develop a facility, they are required to submit a Preliminary Notice to the Commission, detailing their intent. The Commission is able to participate in the planning process and offer constructive input before significant time and resources are spent. The system must submit a Letter of Intent providing an overview of expansion plans, geographical information, budgetary, information. The third stage is staff review of a Needs Study. The Needs Study should address all Commission review criteria including enrollment projections, detailed budget, and an EIR. Commission staff complete their analysis of the Needs Study and conduct a site visit, then recommend approval or non-approval.”

“If the District plans to locate new facilities in either the I-15 Corridor or The Pass Service Areas, planning for new centers in the District should take into account these regulations. Development of the necessary application documents should being as soon as possible. Whether or not districts use locally approved bond money to totally or partially support development, these regulation must be followed if the District wishes to receive State support for operations, staffing or future projects.”
