In addition, City Council adopted Growth Management Study (GMS) policies to provide direction for provision of infrastructure services related to new development: GMS Policy #14: Development shall be required to pay the full cost of extending infrastructure and services, except that the City will examine ways to subsidize the costs of providing infrastructure or offer other incentives that support higher-density, in-fill, mixed-use, and redevelopment. 1.2 SDC Charges The SDCs and the associated administrative charges and credits imposed by Eugene Code, 1971 sections 7.700 through 7.740 shall be determined as set forth in these methodologies. The current rates of charge for each system are listed in the adopted SDC fee schedule in Appendix F. The methods of calculating administrative charges are noted within section 2.3.1 Administrative Costs and the methods of calculating credits are noted within section 7.2 Credits. 2.0 Exemptions and General Approach This section outlines the general approach taken in calculating the City's development charges and in determining and specifying appropriate expenditures of SDC revenue. For the purposes of this document, the definitions in the Eugene Code, 1971 shall apply unless expressly provided to the contrary. Appendix A contains definitions of words and phrases which are used throughout these methodolog ies. 2.1 Assignment of Use Classifications Developments will be assigned use classifications that best reflect the developments' use per system (transportation, wastewater, stormwater, parks) as set forth in these methodologies. In the case of multiple uses that are proposed and/or exist within one development, as determined by Staff, more than one use classification may be assigned by which the SDC fees and credits will be calculated. 2.2 Exemptions To simplify the administration of the SDC, no development involving then-existing improvements on a site will be deemed to increase usage of or create the need for additional capital improvements until one of the following occurs: · For property improved with a residential use (e.g. single family dwelling, duplex or other multiple-family use), when: > an additional dwelling unit is created, > there is an increase in square footage of living area, or > all or part of any structure on the site is changed to a use not permitted outright in an any residential zoning district as noted in Eugene Code, 1971 section 9.2740.
