METHODOLOGIES: . <br /> City of Eugene Systems Development Charges _ <br /> February 1993 <br /> 1.0 Introduction <br /> These methodologies are adopted pursuant to section 7.710, Eugene Code, 1971 (EC) and <br /> may be amended hereafter as provided in that section or in this document. <br /> For the purpose of interpreting E.C. 7.700 through 7.740 and this document, the public <br /> record before the Council and the special SDC Task Force established by the Council shall <br /> constitute the legislative history. <br /> In addition to the methodologies for each system contained herein, the following appendices <br /> are adopted and made a part hereof: <br /> A: System Development Charges Ordinance <br /> B: Definition of Teens, May 8, 1991 <br /> C: Transportation System Charge Detail <br /> D: Sanitary Sewer System Charge Detail <br /> E: Stone Sewer System Charge Detail <br /> F: Parks System Charge Detail <br /> The figures used in the appendices are those which appeared in the May 1991 adopted <br /> Methodologies. They do not agree with the figures that appear in this February 1993 <br /> Methodologies. The 1991 figures have been increased 2.8% in this 1992 document. The <br /> increase is the result of the increase in construction costs between July 1991 and July 1992 <br /> as descnbed in paragraph 2.2 below. <br /> 1.1 Basis for Charge <br /> Systems Development Charges (SDC) have been collected and used by the City of <br /> Eugene since 1978. They are presently collected on all new development in the city <br /> and are used to fund a portion of the construction of infrastructure---transportation, <br /> sanitary sewer, stone sewer and parks---required to support new development. These <br /> SDCs help the City provide for increased capacity needs, maintain health and safety <br /> standards, and recoup a portion of the community's investment in specific <br /> infrastructure reserve capacity that is already in-place. <br /> Sound planning requires future demands on each system be anticipated, and that <br /> reserve capacity needed to serve future users be built in. By preparing for this <br /> growth, standards for community infrastructure are maintained and the community <br /> can prosper with new development. <br /> <br /> February 24, 1993 Methodologies: City of Eugene SDCs Page 1 <br /> <br />
