Primarily a factor in the Transportation SDC where development is charged <br /> according to the different tr7p rates assigned to development types, and in the Metropolitan <br /> Wastewater Management Commission SDC, where development is charged according to the <br /> different rates per FEU'assigned to development types. <br /> EDU: Equivalent Dwelling Unit. EDU is used in the wastewater SDC as a basis for determining the <br /> relative impact or service used by different types of development. Represents the use of capacity <br /> that is approximately equal to that of a single dwelling unit. For the purposes of setting the City of <br /> Eugene Wastewater SDC, an equivalent dwelling unit is equal to 16 plumbing fixture units as defined <br /> in the State Uniform Plumbing code. <br /> Equitable Share of Public Facility Costs: As used in the development of SDCs, the City's cost of <br /> providing system capacity, allocated to new development relative to the development's impact or use <br /> of system capacity. <br /> FEU, Flow Estimation Unit. For the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Camrnissian SDC,: he <br /> Flow Estimation Unit is the unit of impact upon which the rate per unit is based.. The FEU is typically <br /> 1,000 square feet of building area for most commercial~users;: and dweliirtig units for residen#al <br /> developrnenY <br /> Impact Measurement: 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 to <br /> determine the effect of development on the wastewater system. <br /> Impervious Surface: Impervious surface is used as an impact measure for the stormwater SDC. <br /> An impervious surface is that which prevents or retards saturation of water into the surface of the <br /> soil or causes water to non off the surface in greater quantity or an increased rate of flow compared <br /> to the natural condition of the property before development. Asphalt, concrete, and roofing materials <br /> are examples of impervious materials. <br /> Improvement 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 /> Level of Service (LQS): (per unit of development) As used in development of SDC rates, LOS <br /> represents the amount of system (or sub-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 development. <br /> This is presented in terms of the appropriate impact measure. <br /> Methodology: This document entitled "METHODOLOGIES: City of Eugene, Systems Development <br /> Charges" and any amendment or modification made hereto. <br /> MWMC: Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission -responsible for regional wastewater <br /> <br /> treatment. <br /> <br /> Proposed: July 7, 1997 City of Eugene SDC Methodology Page B-2 <br /> <br />
