R' t, <br /> 7.4 Application for Credit and Impact Reduction <br /> An application for a credit or impact reduction, including related documentation and information, <br /> shall be submitted by the applicant in the manner prescribed by the City, together with any fee <br /> set by the City Engineer pursuant to E.C. 2.020. The applicant shall have the burden of <br /> demonstrating the eligibility for a credit. No credit or impact reduction shall be granted for an <br /> SDC that has already been imposed, collected or agreed to be paid in installments. <br /> 7.4.1 Application for Impact Reduction <br /> Applicants must submit their request for an impact reduction in writing, accompanied by the <br /> documentation outlined in Appendix E, such as calculations and drawings which support <br /> the basic function and design criteria for estimated impact reduction. <br /> For commercial development, impact reduction will be applied uniformly for all lots or <br /> building sites in the development phase approved. Impact reductions granted under this <br /> methodology document may be used in subsequent phases of a development when the <br /> applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the City Engineer that the program or <br /> improvements continue to provide the anticipated reduction in demand, and the City has <br /> received assurances or agreements from the developer, owner, and owners successors, <br /> as approved by the City Engineer as is necessary to ensure that the program or facility will <br /> continue to function as planned for the agreed upon time period. Changes to the mitigated <br /> program or facility attributable to the connection of an additional phase which results in any <br /> deviation from the previously determined impact reduction will be adjusted proportionately. <br /> 7.4.2 Application for Credit Based on Construction of Public Improvements <br /> For credits derived from the constnaction of public improvements, the property owner(s) will <br /> be notified in writing about potential credit availability, subsequent to the approval and <br /> bonding of the construction plans. The property owner(s) will have 60 days from the date <br /> of written notification to submit the SDC Credit Application and complete the approval <br /> process as outlined in the SDC Credit Policy and Procedures. Applications that include <br /> disbursement instructions for ineligible lots or which contain requests in conflict with City <br /> code, state law, or current City policies/practices will be considered incomplete <br /> applications. <br /> 7.4.3 Credit Distribution in the Absence of Directions from an Approved SDC Credit <br /> Application <br /> With the exception of cases where the recovery of credit through an equivalent assessment <br /> is uncertain, if the owner does not comply with the requirements of section 7.4.2, the credit <br /> will be distributed by the "equal lot" method. All eligible lots or building sites will be <br /> identified, and the credit will be distributed in an equal amount to each of these eligible lots <br /> or building sites. Credit applied under this policy will not be eligible to be appealed. <br /> Development for which a building permit is issued prior to administration of credit disbursal <br /> or approval by City staff will not be considered eligible for credit distribution. <br /> <br /> May 1, 1997 City of Eugene SDC Methodology Page 13 <br /> <br />
