• Shall be applied to the SDCs for the particular development, may only be further applied <br />to subsequent phases of the same development for which the improvement was <br />constructed or program instituted, and can not be transferred or applied to other properties <br />,. <br />or developments. <br />7.1 Impact Reductions or Mitigation <br />Impact reduction will be based on private physical improvements, as defined in Appendix~A, <br />constructed as part of the development, or based on programs instituted in -connection with <br />development, which will reduce the demand from that development for future construction of <br />identifiable capital improvements. Such programs and physical improvements must be privately <br />financed and are intended to be permanent. The anticipated reduction in demand must be <br />demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City Traffic Engineer (for Transportation system impact <br />reductions) or to the City Engineer (for all other system impact reductions). <br />Calculation of impact reduction shall be based on the ratio of the system impact with the program <br />or facility in place, to the system impact if the program or facility did not exist. <br />Prior to application of the impact reduction to the SDCs for the development, the City shall <br />receive assurances that will bind the developer, owner, and the owner's successors as is <br />necessary to ensure that the program or facility will function as planned for the agreed upon time <br />period. Such agreements may include, but are not limited to performance bonds, maintenance <br />programs, annual reports, monitoring and inspections, or other pertinent items to document <br />proper functioning as determined by the City Engineer. <br />7.1.1 Transportation System Impact Reduction <br />For the transportation system, an impact reduction may be granted if the applicant <br />demonstrates to the satisfaction of the City's Traffic Engineer, that the improvement or <br />program to be instituted in connection with the development will materially reduce the <br />number of automobile trips the development will generate and that it will continue for at <br />least twenty years after the development is occupied. <br />7.1.2 Stormwater System Impact Reduction or Mitigation <br />For the stormwater system, an impact reduction may be granted based on physical <br />improvements as identified in the SDC Policies and Procedures Manual, which are <br />privately constructed as part of the development. The applicant must demonstrate to the <br />satisfaction of the City Engineer that the improvements will materially reduce the demand <br />the development will place upon the public stormwater drainage system and the <br />improvements will remain in use and functional for at least twenty years after the <br />development is occupied. (Note: Qualification for SDC stormwater reduction does not <br />necessarily qualify customers for a reduction of the monthly stormwater user service <br />'charges which are governed by the Stormwater Service Charge Methodology.) <br />7.1.2.1 Stormwater System Impact Reduction Criteria <br />Criteria for stormwater SDC impact reduction for development can be found in <br />Appendix D, section 6.0. A development that meets the required criteria will be <br />\ eligible to receive a reduction against stormwater SDCs at the time. of permit <br />issuance as follows: <br />City of Eugene SDC Methodology Page 11 <br />
