<br /> „ ~ ~ <br /> This section outlines the general approach taken in calculating the City's development charges and <br /> in determining and specifying appropriate expenditures of SDC revenue. Far the purposes of this <br /> document, the definitions in the Eugene Code, 1971 shall apply unless expressly provided to the <br /> contrary. Appendix B contains definitions of words and phrases which are used throughout this <br /> report. <br /> 2.1 Definitions <br /> (1) As used in EC 7.725(b) and this definition, a "single family dwelling" means a "Dwelling, <br /> single family detached" as defined in EC 9.015. <br /> (2) Exemption. To simplify the administration of the SDC, no development involving then- <br /> existing improvements on a site will increase usage of or create the need for additional capital <br /> improvements until one of the following occurs: <br /> (a) For property improved with only a single family dwelling, when: <br /> (I) an additional dwelling unit is created, or <br /> (ii) all or part of any structure on the site is changed to a use not permitted <br /> outright in an RA zone in EC 9.384. <br /> (b) For all property not covered in (a) above: <br /> (I) an additional dwelling unit is created, <br /> (ii) there is an increase in the number of plumbing fixture units on the site, <br /> (iii) 60 sq. ft. of impervious surface is added to the site, <br /> (iv) +~r ~~~t~A ~r fore square feet <br /> .,<:<;~ . <br /> {sq: fk] of floor space in a bwldmg t~_"~;~~ or ffor~over] w! 50% o <br /> of the gross floor space of the building.:~?w;~it~r~;. <br /> (c) An additional connection to, or an increase in the size of an existing connection to <br /> the public{sanitary-sewer] ~~r~ or fstornrsewerj ~r~rter stem is <br /> to be made. <br /> 2.2 General Method for ~ c~au~rrta+~ SDC Rated {Setting} <br /> Table 1 provides an overview of the basis of the rate setting methodology; outlining the basic <br /> rates, cost basis, service standards and means of implementation for each system charge. <br /> New development should not be charged for a higher level of service than that currently <br /> provided to the community or to which the community has committed future resources. <br /> Therefore, additional capacity needs are determined using the City's existing level of service <br /> or the City's funded fplannedj level of service. In a similar manner, new development should <br /> be credited for past and future bond payments on ~~frd~~ure <r~1?~fsd existing debt <br /> (MWMC) and past Trunk Sewer Levies. <br /> The general approach used to calculate the development charge for various systems, is based <br /> on requirements set forth in ORS 223.297: <br /> Proposed Methodologies: City of Eugene SDCs (Effective March 01, 1997) Page 4 <br /> <br />
