     7    (d) in a school  district  where  the  total  enrollment  of  resident
     8  students attending charter schools in the base year is greater than five
     9  percent  of the total public school enrollment of the school district in
    10  the base year (i) granting the  application  would  have  a  significant
    11  educational  benefit  to  the  students  expected to attend the proposed
    12  charter school or (ii) the school district in which the  charter  school
    13  will be located consents to such application; and
