4.2 Regional Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) Wastewater System The City of Eugene entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Springfield and Lane County in 1978, which established the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission. On May 15, 1997, the Commission adopted the MWMC wastewater Systems Development Charge which includes a regional administrative charge. On April 1, 2004 the Commission adopted a modified MWMC regional wastewater SDC methodology. The regional MWMC wastewater SDC methodology is located in Appendix C2. Current regional rates are also summarized in the Appendix F fee schedule. 5.0 stormwater System The stormwater SDC is based upon impervious surface area (e.g., rooftops, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, patios, and other non-porous surfaces). The detailed formulas for calculating the stormwater SDC unit cost (rate) per square foot of impervious surface area is set forth in Appendix D. The stormwater SDC is determined by multiplying the applicable rate by the unit of measure for the proposed development type. The costs per unit of measure and resulting rates can be found in Table 9 and the fee schedule in Appendix F. Where the stormwater SDC is a fixed amount per dwelling unit or space, it shall be determined by multiplying the applicable rate per dwelling unit or space times the number of units or spaces plus, for manufactured home park development, the SDC is based upon the impervious surface area of all additional common areas times the stormwater unit cost per square foot of impervious surface area. Where the stormwater SDC is not a fixed amount per dwelling unit or space, it shall be determined by multiplying the rate per square foot of impervious surface area times the total impervious surface area of the proposed development. Where a development creates impact not attributable to impervious surface area, the stormwater SDC shall be determined by evaluating equivalent impervious surface area, multiplied by the rate per square foot of impervious surface area. 6.0 Parks System The parks SDC is based upon the estimated cost of capacity in future capacity-enhancing projects to serve new development, as contained in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Project & Priority Plan, and the estimated capacity in the existing parks system to be used by new development. The details for calculating the park SDC. unit costs (rates) for residential development (per dwelling unit type) and nonresidential development (per room or per thousand gross square feet) are set forth in Appendix E. The park SDC is determined by multiplying the applicable rate by the unit of measure for the proposed development type. The costs per unit of measure and resulting rates may be found in Table 17. 7.0 Credits and Impact Reductions This section provides detail on the City's administration of SDC credits and impact reductions. Potential sources, criteria for eligibility, and the basis for calculation of credit and impact reductions are defined, in this Methodology and in Eugene Code, 1971 section 7.730. A list of examples of facilities and programs which are potentially eligible for credit and impact reduction appears in Table 2 of this section. (Note: As development standards change some examples may no longer be considered eligible for reduction but may influence future rates.) In no case may City of Eugene SDc Methodologies
