Parks and Recreation System Development Charge Detail 1.0 Overview of Parks and Recreation SDC Methodology The parks and recreation system development charge (referred to in this Appendix E as the "parks SDC" or "SDC") consists of improvement and reimbursement fees, and is charged to both residential and nonresidential development. The SDC is based on the estimated cost of serving growth through future capacity -enhancing improvements listed in the Parks and Recreation SDC Project Plan (Project Plan) and the estimated cost of the available capacity in the existing parks and recreation system to be used by new development. All park and recreation facility types in the parks system are considered in the basis for the charge. The methodology used to calculate parks and recreation SDCs includes the following elements: 1. Growth Capacity Needs - future growth is projected, along with planned system -wide levels of service in order to determine the capacity requirements of future development in terms of park acreage, trails and recreation facilities. 2. SDC Cost Basis -the costs of serving future development are estimated based on the Project Plan (improvement fee cost basis) and the value of existing system available capacity (reimbursement fee) cost basis. 3. SDC Schedule - the improvement and reimbursement costs are summed to determine the system -wide cost per unit, and the number of units attributable to different types of development are estimated for purposes of assessing the charges. The resulting parks and recreation SDC rate schedule is contained in the Appendix F of the City of Eugene (City) SDC methodology. Each element of the parks and recreation SDC methodology is discussed in the sections below. Note: The calculations contained in this appendix were produced using numbers that extend beyond the decimal places shown in the tables presented, so slight variations exist due to rounding. These variations are not material. 1.1 Growth Capacity Needs New development creates demand for parks and facilities by attracting new residents, employees, and overnight visitors to the City. Growth in park and recreation facility users from new development and the associated costs of meeting growth's park and facility needs are projected over the planning horizon reflected in the 2018 Vision and Implementation Plan for Eugene's Parks and Recreation System ("System Plari'). The City —through adoption of the System Plan —is planning for acquisition and development of park land, trails and recreation facilities consistent with the community's desired level of E-2
