A RESOLUTION ADOPTING AMENDMENTS TO STORMWATER SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CHARGE METHODOLOGY AND AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 4900. The City Council of the City of Eugene finds as follows: A. The System Development Charge (SDC) Methodology was adopted by Resolution No. 4900, effective on May 7, 2007. B. Resolution No. 4900 has subsequently been amended, most recently by Resolution No. 4991 on November 23, 2009. In addition, SDCs have been adjusted for inflation by Resolution Nos. 5031 and 5092, and by Administrative Order Nos. 58- I1 -01 -F, 58-11-12-F and 58-13-08-F. C. The City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharge Permit (issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality), mandates that the City, as a part of the City's Post-Construction Stormwater Management Program, require equivalent stormwater quality measures when the stormwater quality facilities cannot be provided on the development site. D. It is necessary to amend the stormwater SDC methodology to provide a funding mechanism for the construction of public infiltration and filtration stormwater quality management facilities that will function as Low Impact Development (LID) mitigation when the LID facilities will not be provided on the development site. Payment for the construction of public infiltration and filtration stormwater quality management facilities is an equivalent pollution reduction measure available when development project will not be providing on-site infiltration or filtration stormwater quality management facilities. E. Modification of the stormwater SDC methodology includes a new base rate to be paid only by development that must provide off-site LID stormwater quality management because the development does not include the required private on-site infiltration or filtration treatment facilities. This new base rate reflects the construction of public infiltration and filtration treatment facilities needed to address the increased capacity demand from those developments that will rely on off-site mitigation facilities built with capital projects. The rate cost basis for development providing private on-site infiltration or filtration treatment facilities and for development exempt from the on-site facility requirement is not being changed by these modifications. F. It is necessary to adopt adjusted stormwater SDCs that reflect, and are based on, the amended stormwater SDC methodology. Resolution - Page 1 of 2
