They are presently collected on all new development in the City and are used <br /> to fun that portion of the construction of infrastructure--i.e., transportation, wastewater, <br /> storm ater and parks system components---required to support new development. These <br /> SDCs elp the City provide for increased capacity needs, and recoup a portion of the <br /> comm nity's investment in specific infrastructure reserve capacity that is already in place. <br /> Sound planning requires future demands on each system be anticipated, and that reserve <br /> capaci y needed to serve future users be built in. By preparing for this growth, standards for <br /> comm nity infrastructure are maintained and the community can prosper with new develop- <br /> ment. <br /> The M tropolitan Area General Plan and amendments, provide a basis for planning of growth <br /> and d elopment and includes the following goals and policies related to the financing of new <br /> devel pment: <br /> • enerally reduce public subsidy for utilities and facilities in new development <br /> ( 5, p. III-G-S). <br /> • I general, the amount of public subsidy for public utilities, services and facilities, <br /> i eluding schools in new development, shall be reduced. (#1, p. III-G-5). <br /> <br /> City of Eu ene SDC Methodology Page 1 <br /> <br />
