2) -- Allocate Equivalent Population to Nonresidential Classes The impact of tourist accommodation rooms is based on the average number of guests per unit. As there is not local data on the total number of visitors to the City (or visitors by land use, apart from tourist accommodation) - and there is local data on the number of employees and TGSF per land use - employee density per land use is used to allocate equivalent population across the other nonresidential classes. The equivalent population, net of tourist accommodation guests, is allocated to the other classes of nonresidential development based on building size (Le., TGSF) and employment density (Le., number of employees per TGSF). Current employment data by standard industrial classification were analyzed along with data qn existing building square footage to determine estimated employment density by nonresidential class. Based on the total employees attributable to each nonresidential class, percentages are derived and used to distribute the growth in equivalent population across the classes. 3) -- Determine Equivalent Population Density by Class The equivalent population density (Le., equivalent population per TGSF) by class is determined by dividing the total growth in equivalent population attributable to each class by the projected growth in TGSF for that class. 4) -- Determine SDC per TGSF by Class The SDC is the product of the equivalent population density and the system-wide unit cost per person. Table 17 presents the SDC schedule for residential and nonresidential developments based on the approach described above. 2.0 SDC Updating Parks SDC updates will entail the following elements: 2.1 Annual Inflationary Cost Adjustments On an annual basis, the City will: . Apply the Engineering News-Record (ENR) 20-City national average construction cost index (CCI) to the development and renovation cost components of proposed park improvements; and . Use the Lane County Assessment & Taxation office's published Sales Ratio Report as the cost index to measure changes to the acquisition cost component of proposed park land acquisitions. This cost index shall be determined using the vacant residential and recreation lands categories of the areas best representing the Eugene urban area. 2.2 Biennial Evaluation of Existing and Planned Expenditures Following adoption every two years of the city-wide Capital Improvement Program (CIP), a review of actual parks project expenditures over the preceding two fiscal years and projected near-term CIP expenditures over the next three fiscal years will be completed to evaluate consistency with the average annual expenditure for the same period anticipated by the adopted Project List. In the event that this analysis shows that average expenditures of the review period vary more than 10 percent than expenditures anticipated in the Project List, the issue will be referred to the City Council for consideration of updating the SDC.
