_ 1.2 Application <br />The'development charge is based upon traffic generated by each development during the <br />peak hour times the cost per trip. All development shall pay,based.upon the number of p.m. . <br />' peak hour trips generated.. <br />A basic assumption of the transportation SDC is that development will generate the need'for <br />capital improvements directly related to its size as measured for its classified use. The size <br />of a .development is measured in the units identified in subparagraph f~3 ~;~:`2 of this <br />Appendix for the development's classification as determined by the City's Traffic Engineer. <br />Another basic assumption of the. transportation SDC is that the rates assigned to each use <br />classification include all related functions for' that type of development. Where the <br />development includes mixed land uses which are independent activities, as distinguished <br />from ancillary or supporting uses, a composite development 'charge will be calculated for <br />each use: <br />1.3 Arterial and Collector Street. Cost Analysis <br />The cost figure for street construction, is a .key factor in the equation ' by which the <br />transportation portion of systems development charge is calculated. This discussion outlines <br />the methodology and assumptions used to calculate a unit cost used in the systems <br />development charge equation. <br />The cost of a lane mile of arterial or collector street is derived from several components:. <br />• the basic construction cost of a linear section street; <br />the cost of intersections; <br />• the cost'of bridges or other structures; - - <br />• the cost of traffic signals;~,it#~ <br />. ......::: . <br />#~~~~ri~s'~~;FA "t~~t~t <br />Figure 2 illustrates the method for calculating the arterial and collector street components of <br />the transportation SDC. <br />Proposed Methodologies: City of Eugene SDCs (Effective March-01, 1997) Page C-3 <br />
