Actual costs up to a maximum of 2% of <br />taxes collected on behalf of the City could be withheld by the County to cover these <br />costs. This could divert close to $1 million from the total taxes received by the City from <br /> <br />Lane County. <br /> <br />HB 3479 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to city fees; declaring an emergency. <br /> <br />Title: Includes in definition of "system development charge" certain requirements for property <br />owner to obtain city approval of residential infill development application. <br /> Removes exclusion from definition of "system development charge" for charge in lieu of <br />local improvement district assessment. Declares emergency, effective on passage. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: Representative Huffman <br /> <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/13reg/measpdf/hb3400.dir/hb3479.intro.pdf <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Fred McVey PWE 04/09/2013 Pri. 1 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Priority would apply if the bill moves forward. The objective of this proposed legislation <br />is unclear but the effect would be to confuse and complicate the long-standing separation <br />between SDCs and local improvement requirements (exactions) and/or their associated <br />assessments. Current statutes, and City Code, make very clear that SDCs do not include <br />local improvement district assessments and provide very different rules and requirements <br />1 | Page <br />April 17, 2013 IGR Committee Meeting <br />
