6.0 Parks System <br /> <br /> The parks system components that are identified in the adopted 1989 Parks and Recreation Plan, and " , <br /> <br /> the parks system components identified in Table 7, which are used to calculate the parks SDC, are <br /> generally described as parks (neighborhood and community) and facilities which are more particularly <br /> described in Appendix E. The current community standard, or level of service, for an infrastructure <br /> system is the determining factor in calculating the impact of new development on the system. New <br /> development can be charged the costs of providing infrastructure services for the development at the <br /> same level of service as the existing community as a whole. . <br /> The detailed calculation for each component of the parks SDC and the Cost of Service formula are <br /> set forth in Appendix E. The parks SDC rate can be found in the current adopted fee schedule in <br /> <br /> Appendix F. The rate per dwelling unit is determined based on equivalent dwelling units (EDU). <br /> The parks SDC for a proposed development is determined by multiplying the rate per dwelling unit <br /> (EDU) by the number of dwelling units in the proposed development. The cost per EDU is the sum <br /> of all parks system components identified in Appendix E. There is currently no parks SDC for non- <br /> residential development. <br /> 7.0 Credits and Impact Reductions <br /> This section provides detail on the City's administration of SDC credits and impact reductions. <br /> Potential sources, criteria for eligibility, and the basis for calculation of credit and impact reductions <br /> are defined in the SDC Credit Policies and Procedures, in this Methodology, and in Eugene Code, <br /> section 7.730. A list of examples of facilities and programs which are potentially eligible for credit and <br /> impact reduction appears in Table 2 of this section. (Note: As development standards change some <br /> examples may no longer be considered eligible for reduction but may influence future rates.) J„ <br /> SDCs may be reduced by one or more of the following processes: <br /> • Impact Reduction, based on quantifiable mitigation of demand generated by the <br /> development for new identifiable capital improvements; <br /> • Credit, based on the specific costs for privately engineered construction of certain public <br /> improvements as part of the development; <br /> • Credit based on previous payment or use. <br /> Adjustment of SDCs due to credits and impact reductions: <br /> • Shall not be given for improvements constructed or programs instituted prior to City <br /> approval. <br /> • Shall be applied up to the maximum SDC fee for each system. <br /> • Shall reduce the SDCs paid on building permits at the time of issuance; credit or impact <br /> reduction amounts applied will not be greater than the SDC fees. <br /> • Shall be applied to a particular system (e.g., Transportation, Stormwater, Wastewater, <br /> Parks); credits or reductions approved for a particular system can not be transferred or <br /> applied to any other system charges. <br /> City of Eugene SDC Methodology Page 10 <br /> <br />
