City of Eugene SDC Methodologies - General Methodology Page 15 7.5.3 Credit Distribution in the Absence of Directions from an Approved SDC Credit Application With the exception of cases where the recovery of credit through an equivalent assessment is uncertain, if the owner does not comply with the requirements of section 7.5.2, the credit will be distributed by the “equal lot” method. All eligible lots or building sites will be identified, and the credit will be distributed in an equal amount to each of these eligible lots or building sites. Credit applied under this policy will not be eligible to be appealed. Development for which a building permit is issued prior to administration of credit disbursal or approval by the City Engineer will not be considered eligible for credit distribution. 7.5.4 Changes to an Approved Credit Application Whether established by the City using the “equal lot” method or by the property owner(s)/applicant(s), any modifications to the distribution of credits will require a new completed application, must be approved by the City Engineer, and will be effective only upon approval by the City Engineer of the revised credit application. The revised distribution will apply only to the remaining credit balances and undeveloped lots or building sites to which the credit originally applied. 7.6 Decision on Application for Credit The City Engineer shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny an application in writing, setting forth the reason for the decision. Such a decision shall be mailed or personally delivered to the applicant. 7.7 Credit and Impact Reduction Duration Credits for qualified public improvements, capital improvements, and multiple-unit housing capital improvements granted under this methodology document may be applied to SDC fees for a development up to a maximum of 10 years from the date of the original written notification. Impact reductions granted under this methodology document may be applied to SDC fees for a development until such time as the program or improvements no longer continue to provide the anticipated reduction in demand and the City has determined that assurances or agreements from the developer, owner, or owners successors, are no longer adequate to ensure that the program or facility will continue to function as planned for the agreed upon time period. 8.0 Appeals An appeal by an applicant or a permittee of any decision of the City Manager under these Methodologies shall be governed by Eugene Code, 1971 section 7.735 and must be filed and the appeal fee paid within 15 working days of the date of the decision. Such appeals shall be in writing and filed with Public Works Engineering Permit Technician staff located at the City’s Permit & Information Center. A separate appeal must be filed for each decision being appealed. The appeal fee, as established under Eugene Code, 1971 section 2.020, can be found in the current adopted SDC Fee schedule in Appendix F.
