Residential Dwelling Unit (RDU): Residential Dwelling Units are used in the calculation of wastewater SDCs as a basis for determining the relative impact or service used by residential development. A base fee is applied to each RDU, such as one house, one accessory dwelling unit, or each apartment unit, plus a rate per square foot is applied to the total living area. For manufactured home parks, which are charged SDCs at the time a park’s initial development permit is issued, the local wastewater SDC will be based upon the maximum size of manufactured home that can be placed on building pads located within the park. Each space shall constitute an RDU and the rate per square foot shall be applied to the total gross floor area of all additional proposed structures within the park. SDC Eligible Costs: System value net of assessable costs, grants and outstanding debt. This cost is allocated to all development in proportion to its impact on system capacity. SS: Suspended Solids. The total elements and compounds which float on the surface of, or are suspended in, wastewater and which are removable by laboratory filtration, expressed in milligrams per liter. Secondary Dwelling Unit (SDU): See Accessory Dwelling Unit. As used in the determination of SDC rates, a secondary dwelling unit is any additional residential dwelling unit added to a development site for which a secondary dwelling unit is allowed per local code. A secondary dwelling unit is created auxiliary to, and is smaller than, the main dwelling, and typically has the following components:  separate ingress/egress  living area  kitchen facilities including sink (in addition to bathroom sink), refrigerator, and cooking facilities  separate bathroom Note that while inclusion of all of the above would constitute the potential impact of an additional dwelling unit, exclusion of any item(s) listed above would not preclude such an impact for the purposes of calculating SDC fees. Single Family Dwelling (SFD): As used in EC 7.725(b) and this methodology, a "single family dwelling" means a "Dwelling, single family detached" as defined in EC 9.015. TGSF: Thousand Gross Square Feet. Sum (expressed in the thousands, in decimal form) of the area of each floor level, including, but not limited to, basements, mezzanines, penthouses, corridors, mechanical rooms, and storage areas that are within the principal outside faces of the exterior walls. The City’s TGSF definition is based upon the definition of “gross floor area” in the Institute of Traffic Engineer’s Trip Generation Manual. TGSF measurements:  Include exterior walls  Include all areas that have clear standing headroom (6 feet, 6 inches minimum), regardless of their use  Shall count the area of stairs once for each two floors the stairs connect  Shall count the shaft of an elevator once, regardless of the number of stories it connects  Do not include parking and drive aisle areas within parking garages TGSFLA: Thousand Gross Square Foot Leasable Area Transportation Demand Management (TDM): A transportation planning proposal for a given development that reduces the demand that development places upon the transportation system by redistributing or eliminating vehicle trips and encouraging the use of alternate modes of travel.
