<br />ATTACHMENT A <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works <br /> <br /> <br />Engineering <br /> <br /> <br />City of Eugene <br />MEMORANDUMMEMORANDUM <br />858 Pearl Street <br />Eugene, Oregon 97401 <br />(541) 682-5291 <br />(541) 682-5032 FAX <br />Date: <br />October 19, 2006 <br /> <br />To: <br />Mayor Piercy and City Council <br /> <br />From: <br />Fred McVey, 682-5216 <br /> Engineering Data Services Manager <br /> <br />Subject: <br />Parks SDCNonresidential Assessment Options <br />This memorandum presents information to the City Council related to methodological options <br />for calculation of nonresidential parks system development charges (SDCs). In particular, two <br />nonresidential parks SDC approaches are presented for the Council’s consideration: the first <br />considers all nonresidential developments, and the second develops SDCs for tourist <br />accommodation developments only. The impact of these approaches on different types of <br />development is illustrated. <br />Background <br />Eugene’s current SDC methodology assesses parks SDCs to residential development only. In <br />reviewing interim adjustments to the current parks SDC on April 28, 2003, the City Council <br />passed a motion directing the City Manager to pursue future imposition of park SDCs on <br />industrial, commercial, and office uses. City staff and SDC consultants (SDC Project Team) <br />worked with the Public Works Rates Advisory Committee (RAC) to evaluate potential <br />methodological approaches to respond to the Council’s direction. As recapped below, this effort <br />included examining approaches in other communities, commissioning a City parks user survey, <br />and developing approaches to assessing the parks SDC on various types and sizes of <br />nonresidential development. <br />Approaches in Other Communities <br />The analysis began with a review and analysis of approaches used in other communities to <br />assess SDCs on nonresidential land uses. This effort aimed to broaden understanding of the <br />nexus between nonresidential land uses and parks, and to evaluate the suitability of various SDC <br />models to the City of Eugene. The results highlighted that an underlying rationale for charging <br />nonresidential SDCs is that additional park usage and demand is generated by nonresidential <br />development through employees and/or visitors using parks. <br /> <br /> <br />PSDCNOA P110 <br />ARKS ONRESIDENTIAL PTIONS ATTACHMENT AGE OF <br /> <br />
