This Administrative Order amends the SDC Methodology and rates and indudes.the following . <br />summary changes: <br />1. The basic policy framework defining what our systems are has not changed. The SDC rates are <br />. being increased to respond to the increased costs of construcfing public facilities to serve new <br />development and are increasing beyond our "auto adjustment" (actual % based on LCOG study and <br />- analysis, not based on ENR). <br />- 2. The underlying methodology for calculation is not changing; text is being reformatted for clarity and <br />ease of future updates. <br />3. The SDC Methodology is establishing large Volume User category for the regional wastewater SDC <br />only (not the local, City charge) in response to the direction from MWMC for annual average discharge, - <br />greater than or equal to 100,000 gallons per day (page 12, and Appendix D: D-7. D-8, D-9). <br />4. Future inflation adjustments will be based on more than the ENR (section 2.3.1, page 9) and will be <br />done the month of July (changed from the 1st of July). <br />5. The SDC Methodology is changing the threshold for change.of use from 3,000 to 1,000 square feet <br />(Page 4, 2.1 (b) Cv)). <br />6- Detention facilities are no longer eligible for credit (E-5 note at the very top of the page). <br />7. Private impact mitigation life increased from 10 year life to twenty year life (pages 17, 19...intended to <br />be permanent, minimum functional life of 20). <br />8. Administrative rate is decreasing from 725 to 5%. <br />9. Administrative charges will be capped at $30,000 (maximum)... to be charged on a single permit (not <br />per development or site of lot or phase). <br />10. Creation of system cost tables for Transportation and Regional wastewater, a RR/Santa Clara/Hwy 99 <br />Area Map (attachment #2), and v/e have added. a new appendix G for formula summary/ current rates. <br />11. Section 7.0, formerly credits, has been revised/restructured and divided into credits and impact <br />reductions to clear up language and confusion. <br />. 12. Section 7.4 includes new SDC credit application language (pages 20-21). <br />13. Modification was made to two trip rate table names, and two categories were removed. <br />The public comment period will open Jan 21, 1997 and will close February 20th, 1997.. Copies of the <br />current and proposed SDC Methodology documents will be posted in four locations. Notification about the <br />proposed changes was mailed to approximately 140 persons identified on the interested parties mailing list. <br />Information was placed in the PIC Bulletin with circulation of approximately 250 persons. Public information <br />will include a legal advertisement, display advertisement, news release, and a public information session for <br />public outreach to local stakeholders. A fact sheet is available that will address the scale of dollar changes <br />and the effect on cost of development in Eugene relative to other Oregon jurisdictions. <br />
