Among these, the $57.8 million in total growth costs (noted on page 5) reflect a system-wide as the basis for allocating costs associated with the Parks capacity analysis by park type Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Project and Priorities List (project list), with the exception of . This exception is in response to concerns raised during City Council and neighborhood parks RAC deliberations by the Homebuilders Association of Lane County (HBA). The HBA questioned the equity and legality of a system-wide approach for allocation of neighborhood parks that are planned for individual service areas within the overall park system. In response, City staff worked with the Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) to conduct a capacity analysis for individual neighborhood park service areas, and used the results to derive a service-area based cost-allocation for neighborhood parks, which is incorporated in the $57.8 million and reflected in all tables above. Table 6 shows the implications on sample SDCs of this approach versus a system-wide capacity . The system-wide approach was endorsed by a majority analysis by park type for all park types of the RAC for reasons including consistency with the City’s other SDC methodologies (i.e., stormwater, local wastewater, and transportation), technical and administrative feasibility, and equity. It includes $58.7 million in total growth costs, which is approximately $0.9 million – or 1.6 percent – more than the above approach with a service-area allocation method for neighborhood parks. The SDCs for each sample development, likewise, are 1.6 percent more in the system-wide approach.
