November 26, 2018, Meeting – Item 4 In response to the first motion, the proposed Resolution at Attachment C now includes a new Section 3 that imposes the increase in TSDC rate in two steps, charging half the proposed increase ($2,692.63/trip) from January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019, then charging the full rate beginning on January 1, 2020. In response to the second motion, the proposed text in Section 4.4.4 of “Appendix B – TSDC Methodology” now includes the 100 percent reduction (see Exhibit A to the Resolution at Attachment C). The text in Section 4.4.4 uses the terminology recently adopted by the City Council in another ordinance, “...regardless of whether the structure is referred to as an ’accessory dwelling unit’ or an additional ‘one-family dwelling’ on the same lot as another.” Staff recommends this language to ensure the SDC reduction would be available in all neighborhoods. The revisions take this approach, instead of referring to the 800 square foot standard for ADUs in the current land use code, to keep the TSDC reduction untethered from the Code’s ADU standards (including the 800 square foot standard), since the council intends to review the ADU standards in its upcoming Phase 2 work for ADUs. The change to a 100 percent reduction is also now reflected on Table B-10 in the Methodology Appendix B. In response to the third motion, the proposed text in Section 4.4.4 of “Appendix B – TSDC Methodology” now includes the $40,000 annual cap for accessory dwelling units. It also includes two administrative provisions that the council already includes in the SDC exemption pertaining to housing for low-income persons at EC 7.725: first providing for an administrative adjustment to the $40,000 cap when there is a change in the SDC rate for residential development and, second, directing that any unused portion of the $40,000 be included in the next year’s available reductions for ADUs. In response to the fourth motion, the proposed text in Section 7.3 of the “General Methodology” lists the $130,000 annual cap for the “location-based, transit proximity and transportation demand management adjustments, combined.” The proposed text in Section 7.3 also includes the two administrative provisions described above. These changes to the proposed ordinance and resolutions are shown in legislative format in the attachments to this AIS. In addition, a few other changes have been shown in the attachments to show revisions that were needed for consistency with the council’s four motions and to reflect that the City Council recently replaced the term “secondary dwelling” with “accessory dwelling” throughout the City Code. Changes to address typos are not shown in legislative format. RELATED CITY POLICIES Growth Management Policy 14, adopted by Resolution No. 4554, is directly related to implementation and modification of SDCs. The policy provides: 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. Envision Eugene Pillars – Promote compact urban development and efficient transportation options.
