j <br /> ~ a <br /> s <br /> <br /> .I <br /> Cost of Se ice: The calculation of a "per unit" cost to the City of providing system-specific <br /> capacity (e.g., wastewater collection capacity). <br /> Developme t Types: As used in determining SDC rates, development is categorized depending <br /> ~ on the relativ impact. Primarily a factor m the Transportation SDC where development is charged <br /> ~ according t the different trip rates assigned to development types, and in the Metropolitan <br /> Wastewater Management Commission SDC, where development is charged according to the <br /> differe~t~ate per FEU assigned to development types. <br /> EDU: Equiv lent Dwelling Unit: EDU is used in the parks SDCs as a basis for determining the <br /> relative impa or service used by different types of development. Represents the use of capacity <br /> that is appro imately equal to that of a single dwelling unit. <br /> Equitable S are of Public Facility Costs: As used in the development of SDCs, the City's cost <br /> of providing stem capacity, allocated to new development relative to the development's impact <br /> or use of sys em capacity. <br /> FEU: Flow E timation Unit. For the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission SDC, the <br /> Flow Estima ion Unit is the unit of impact upon which the rate per unit is based. The FEU is <br /> typically 1,0 0 square feet of building area for most commercial users, and dwelling units for <br /> residential d velopment. <br /> Impact Mea urement: The unit of system capacity used to determine the relative effect of a new <br /> development on the capacity of a specific system. For example, plumbing fixture units are used <br /> to determine he effect of development on the wastewater system. <br /> Impervious urface: Impervious surface is used as an impact measure for the stormwater SDC. <br /> An imperviou surface is that which prevents or retards saturation of water into the surface of the <br /> soil or cause water to run off the surface in greater quantity or an increased rate of flow compared <br /> to the natur I condition of the property before development. Asphalt, concrete, and roofing <br /> materials are examples of impervious materials. <br /> I <br /> Improvemen Fee: The portion of the system-specific SDC charged to cover an equitable share <br /> of the capital improvements required to increase capacity of the system to accommodate new <br /> development. <br /> i~ <br /> Level of Se ice (LOS): (per unit of development) As used in development of SDC rates, LOS <br /> represents th amount of system (orsub-system) capacity provided at a certain point in time. The <br /> current level of service is used as the basis for determining the system impacts of new <br /> development. This is presented in terms of the appropriate impact measure. <br /> Living Area: s used in the determination of SDC rates, living area is defined as the gross floor <br /> area, to the o tside perimeter, of a dwelling including floor area within structures accessory to the <br /> dwellings tha is intended for habitation, e.g. bonus rooms over garages, some attic spaces. <br /> Methodolog This document entitled "METHODOLOGIES: City of Eugene, Systems <br /> Development Charges" and any amendment or modification made hereto. <br /> MWIV~~Met politan Wastewater Management Commission -responsible for regional wastewater <br /> treatment. <br /> I,' City of Euge~e SDC Methodology Definitions, Page A-2 <br /> <br />
