In addition, the proposed resolution adopts other miscellaneous revisions to text within Eugene’s SDC Methodologies document to update references, modify several transportation SDC use codes and correct typographical errors. The proposed resolution also consolidates prior modifications to SDC methodologies by adopting an entire SDC Methodologies document reflecting all prior amendments. BACKGROUND The parks SDC methodology has not been modified since adoption by Ordinance 19773, effective July 1, 1991. The council last adjusted the parks SDC rates in July 2003, by Resolution No. 4770. Mayor Piercy and the City Council were notified on October 12, 2006, of notice to be provided to interested persons of intended amendments to Eugene Systems Development Charge (SDC) methodologies on October 13, 2006. A council work session on proposed amendments to the parks SDC was held on October 25, 2006. A draft of the proposed modifications was made available for public review on November 17, 2006, with this information made available for viewing in the Council Office as well as on the City’s web site. A public hearing was held on February 20, 2007, to receive public comment on the proposed SDC modifications; seven persons spoke at the hearing and four written comments were received. Attachment B to the Agenda Item Summary (AIS) contains responses to comments received. RELATED CITY POLICIES Growth Management Policy 14 is directly related to implementation and modification of SDCs. The council’s adoption of the PROS Project and Priority Plan provides policy-level direction on intended parks system projects and levels of service which are key factors in the proposed modifications of the parks SDC.
