6.0 Parks System <br />The parks system components that are identified in the adopted 1989 Parks and Recreation Plan, and <br />the parks system components identified in Table 7, which are used to calculate the parks SDC, are <br />generally described as parks (neighborhood and community) and facilities which are more particularly <br />described in. AppendixE. The current community standard, or level of service, for an infrastructure <br />system is the determining factor in calculating the impact of new development on the system. New <br />development can be charged the costs of providing infrastructure services for the development at the <br />same level of service as the existing community as a whole. . <br />The detailed calculation for each component of the parks SDC and the Cost of Service formula are <br />set forth in Appendix E. The parks SDC rate can be found in the current adopted fee schedule in <br />Appendix F. The rate per dwelling unit is determined based on equivalent dwelling units (EDU). <br />The parks SDC for a proposed development is determined by multiplying the rate ,per dwelling unit <br />(EDU) by the number of dwelling units in the proposed development. The cost per EDU is the sum <br />of all parks system components identified in Appendix =,E. There is currently no parks SDG for non- <br />residential development. <br />7.0 Credits and Impact Reductions <br />This section provides detail on the City's administration of SDC credits and impact reductions. <br />Potential sources, criteria for eligibility, and the basis for calculation of credit and impact reductions <br />are defined in the SDC Credit Policies and Procedures, in this Methodology, and in Eugene Code, <br />section 7.730. A list of examples of facilities and programs which are potentially eligible for credit and <br />impact reduction appears in Table 2 of this section. (Note: As development standards change some <br />examples may no longer be considered eligible for reduction but may influence future rates.) <br />SDCs may be reduced by one or more of the following processes: <br />Impact Reduction, based on quantifiable mitigation of demand generated by the <br />development for new identifiable capital improvements; <br />Credit, based on the specific costs for privately engineered construction of certain public <br />improvements as part of the development; <br />Credit based on previous payment or use. <br />Adjustment of SDCs due to credits and impact reductions: <br />• Shall not be given for improvements constructed or programs instituted prior to City <br />approval <br />• Shall be applied up to the maximum SDC fee for each system. <br />• Shall reduce the SDCs paid on building permits at the time of issuance; credit or impact <br />reduction amounts applied will not be greater than the SDC fees. <br />• Shall be applied to a particular system (e.g., Transportation, Stormwater, Wastewater, <br />Parks);- credits or reductions approved for a particular system can not be transferred or <br />applied to any other system charges. <br />City of Eugene SDC Methodology ~ Page 10 <br />
