development will result in an increase in the usage of any capital improvement or will create the <br />need for additional capital improvements. Development that will have such an impact will be <br />charged SDCs and associated administrative charges. SDC administrative charges shall be <br />charged per Section 2.3.1, Administrative Costs. <br /> <br />To simplify the administration of the SDC, no development involving then-existing improvements <br />on a site will be deemed to increase usage of or create the need for additional capital <br />improvements until one of the following occurs: <br /> <br /> For property improved with a residential use (e.g. single-family dwelling, duplex or other <br />multiple-family use), when: <br /> <br /> An additional dwelling unit is created, <br /> <br /> There is an increase in square footage of living area, or <br /> <br /> All or part of any structure on the site is changed to a use not permitted outright in <br />any residential zoning district as noted in Eugene Code, 1971 section 9.2740. <br /> <br /> For all property improved with a nonresidential use (e.g. recreation center, convenience <br />market), when: <br /> <br /> An additional dwelling unit is created, <br /> <br /> There is an increase in square footage of gross floor space or living area, <br /> <br /> There is an increase in the number of nonresidential plumbing fixture units on the <br />site, <br /> <br /> 60 square feet of impervious surface is added to the site (for the purpose of <br />calculating the stormwater SDC), or <br /> <br /> Either 3,000 or more square feet of floor space in a building changes use or 50% or <br />more of the gross floor space of the building changes use. <br /> <br /> An additional connection to, or an increase in the size of, an existing connection to the <br />public wastewater or stormwater system is to be made. <br /> <br /> A property previously granted an exemption for housing for low-income persons is <br />subsequently used for other than housing for low income persons, subject to the <br />limitations and/or conditions imposed in Eugene Code, 1971 section 7.725(c). <br /> <br /> <br />2.3 General Method for City of Eugene SDC Rates <br /> <br />The intent of the methodology is that new development should be charged an equitable share of <br />system facility costs. Additional capacity needs are determined using the City's planned levels <br />of service. If the planned level of service is higher than the existing level of service, new <br />development will not be charged to remedy the deficiency associated with providing service for <br />existing system users. <br /> <br />The general approach used to calculate the development charge for various systems is based <br />on requirements set forth in ORS 223.304: <br />November 26, 2018, Meeting - Item 4
