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