prepare and submit to the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges a plan for capital construction for community
college purposes of the district. The plan shall reflect capital
construction for community college purposes of the district for the
five-year period commencing with the next proposed year of funding.
The five-year plan shall be subject to continuing review by the
governing board and annually shall be extended one year, and there
shall be submitted to the board of governors, on or before the first
day of February in each succeeding year, a report outlining the
required modifications or changes, if any, in the five-year plan.

81821. The five-year plan for capital construction shall set out
the estimated capital construction needs of the district with
reference to elements including at least all of the following:
(a) The plans of the district concerning its future academic and
student services programs, and the effect on estimated construction
needs which may arise because of particular courses of instruction or
subject matter areas or student services to be emphasized.
(b) The enrollment projections for each district formulated by the
Department of Finance, expressed in terms of weekly student contact
hours. The enrollment projections for each individual college and
educational center within a district shall be made cooperatively by
the Department of Finance and the community college district.
(c) The current enrollment capacity of the district expressed in
terms of weekly student contact hours and based upon the space and
utilization standards for community college classrooms and
laboratories adopted by the board of governors in consultation with
the California Postsecondary Education Commission and consistent with
its standards.
(d) District office, library, and supporting facility capacities
as derived from the physical plant standards for office, library, and
supporting facilities adopted by the board of governors in
consultation with the California Postsecondary Education Commission
and consistent with its standards.
(e) An annual inventory of all facilities and land of the district
using standard definitions, forms, and instructions adopted by the
board of governors.
(f) An estimate of district funds which shall be made available
for capital outlay matching purposes pursuant to regulations adopted
by the board of governors.

81822. The board of governors shall review and evaluate the plan
for capital construction submitted by the governing board of each
community college district in terms of the elements of the capital
construction program specified in Section 81821, and shall, on the
basis of the review and evaluation, make the revision and changes
therein as are appropriate, and notify the district. A similar review
and evaluation of continuing five-year plans for capital
construction submitted by the governing board of each community
college district shall be made. The board of governors shall,
promptly after review, notify the governing board of each community
college district of the content of the district's revised plan for
capital construction.

81823. (a) If a community college district maintains colleges, or
one college and one or more educational centers, it may additionally
submit the plan required by Section 81820 on the basis of each
college or educational center maintained by the district, if either
of the following circumstances is present such that students will be
better served by evaluating the capital outlay program for the
district on that basis: (1) the isolation of students within a
district in terms of the distance of students from the location of an
educational program, or inadequacy of transportation, and student
financial inability to meet costs of transportation to an educational
program; or (2) the inability of existing colleges and educational
centers in the district to meet the unique educational and cultural
needs of a significant number of ethnic students.
(b) If a district elects to submit such a plan, it shall include
therewith justification and documentation for so doing.
(c) When a district so elects, the evaluation of the plan pursuant
to Section 81822 shall include an evaluation of both of the
following:
(1) The justification and documentation for so doing, including
enrollment projections for individual campuses and centers.
(2) The plan as thus submitted.
