i <br /> ~ ' .o ~ ~ <br /> May 9, 2002 <br /> CONTACT: Nancy Burns, System Development Charge Analyst, 682-6887 <br /> From Public nformation Section, 682-5523 <br /> FOR IMME IATE RELEASE <br /> TRANS ORTATION SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT FEES TO INCREASE ON MONDAY <br /> Euge e's transportation-related system development charge (SDC) will increase on <br /> Monday, Ma 13. <br /> The asic transportation rate, upon which the SDC for all development types is based, <br /> will increase approximately 65%. The total SDC fees for developments will vary depending <br /> upon the ty and magnitude of proposed impact upon the City's infrastructure. <br /> The ee increase is part of the implementation of a revised transportation SDC <br /> methodolog and ordinance recently adopted by the Eugene City Council. The revised <br /> I <br /> transportati n SDC methodology is the culmination of over two years of work involving staff, a <br /> nine-memb r department advisory committee, and contracted technical consultants. <br /> Syst ms development charges are fees that are generally collected when expansion, <br /> new develo ment, or an intensification of use occurs on property served by City infrastructure. <br /> The fees ar used to fund the non-assessable portion of the construction of infrastructure <br /> r needed to s pport growth in the community and to recoup a portion of the community's <br /> investment 'n the infrastructure already in place. State law provides the legal framework for <br /> collection a d expenditures of SDCs and the adopted local code and SDC methodologies <br /> document f rther refine the administration of these fees within the City of Eugene. The four <br /> public infra tructure systems for which Eugene collects SDCs are wastewater, stormwater, <br /> ~ transportati n, and parks. <br /> ~ The new Eugene transportation SDC methodology will be applied to all development <br /> permits sub fitted to the City of Eugene on or after May 13.
