RE: Approval of Development Cost Charges Bylaw No. 554

3. BACKGROUND 3.1. Council has directed Staff to prepare a revised DCC Bylaw for their

consideration. The process of updating this bylaw began in April 2016 and incorporated growth projections for the District over a twenty-year period, as well as off-site infrastructure and park projects required to support this growth. This process involved extensive consultation with District developers and home builders as well as the general public.

3.2. On July 13, 2016, the Finance, Culture and Economic Development (FCED) Committee discussed the DCC Bylaw preparation process and passed the following resolutions:

3.2.1. That the Committee recommends that Council authorize setting a 1%

municipal assist factor for transportation, wastewater, drainage and parks DCC’s.

3.2.2. That the Committee recommends that Council rescind Council Policy 2.4.2 Reducing or Waiving Development Cost Charges, and direct staff to include a provision for waiving or reducing DCC’s in the new DCC bylaw. Note: Council Policy 2.4.2 is included in this report as Attachment “B”.

3.2.3. That the Committee directs Staff to prepare a DCC Bylaw for Council’s

consideration with the comments provided.

3.3. The result of this updating process is a new set of DCC rates applicable to residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional development. The new rates reflect the FCED Committee’s recommendation to include a 1% assist factor for transportation, wastewater, drainage and parks DCC’s. Attachment "A" is the proposed DCC Bylaw in which the new rates are embedded.

3.4. The comments referred to in paragraph 3.2.3 are provided in the Discussion section of this report with a response from the District staff where applicable.

4. DISCUSSION 4.1. During the discussion by the FCED Committee, several issues were raised.

Some of the issues can be addressed now, others will require work that can be completed by the time the DCC Bylaw is adopted, and some cannot be addressed without considerable work. If Council directs Staff to gather the additional information prior to their willingness to consider reading and adopting the revised DCC bylaw the final adoption of the bylaw will be significantly delayed.

4.2. A number of the questions asked by the FCED Committee were specific to the Equivalency Factors used to calculate the DCC charges. They are:

Page 3: REPORT TO COUNCIL document library...2016/07/25  · Note: Council Policy 2.4.2 is included in this report as Attachment “B”. 3.2.3. That the Committee directs Staff to prepare

RE: Approval of Development Cost Charges Bylaw No. 554

4.2.1. It appears the parks and transportation contributions in DCC rates indicate higher DCC costs for lower density. The Committee feels that although this may encourage high density and discourage low density, it may not be logical if it is based on the use of infrastructure.

4.2.2. The Committee feels the per person and dwelling unit numbers do not

correctly reflect past experience with District of Sechelt per unit population numbers for the variety of residential development types.

4.2.3. The Committee indicated that Council will want a rationale for the explanation of the transportation and parks charges.

4.2.4. Page 50 Equivalency Factors for transportation states that the cost of development is distributed based on the trips generated by each land use. If residential type directly generates required transportation improvements, the fact that those residences are in a high, low or medium density area raises questions as to whether transportation needs change for residents depending on where they live. The bylaw has a very different rate for those as discussed earlier.

4.2.5. On the same page it states that the need for parks is determined by population increases. The Committee questioned that if population is the determining factor then why does this bylaw have a varying contribution based on multi-family or single family units. The Committee requires additional clarification on this matter.

4.3. The Equivalent Factor calculations are based on the suggestions in the

Development Cost Charges Best Practices Guide produced by the Ministry of Community Sport and Cultural Development. Pages 7.5 to 7.14 of the Best Practices guide are provided as Attachment “C” in this report.

4.4. The DCC Background Report prepared for the District in 2013 by Bob Twerdoff Consulting Ltd. calculated the Equivalent Factors used in the current DCC calculation. Urban Systems reviewed the factors provided by Bob Twerdoff Consulting Ltd. and determined that they are reasonable based on other DCC review engagement they have worked on. Staff do not have access to the raw data Bob Twerdoff Consulting Ltd. used in their calculations.

4.5. In regard to the East Porpoise Bay Expansion study, it was noted by a member of the FCED Committee that “After viewing the DCC report in terms of the sewer program, he didn’t see anything for East Porpoise Bay and it seems that it had not been consistent with the expansion study. The Committee would like a sense of how that works.

4.6. The East Porpoise Bay Expansion study was not included in this DCC program

because it is currently outside of the Sanitary Sewer Specified Area, and, therefore; not DCC program eligible.

Page 4: REPORT TO COUNCIL document library...2016/07/25  · Note: Council Policy 2.4.2 is included in this report as Attachment “B”. 3.2.3. That the Committee directs Staff to prepare

RE: Approval of Development Cost Charges Bylaw No. 554

4.7. During the FCED meeting the following was noted: “There is some confusion around item 3.3 stating the expansions into West Sechelt and West Porpoise Bay are now virtually complete. The Committee was under the assumption the sewer and development is not complete in this area as there is still a lot of undeveloped land that is zoned.”

4.8. The statement in the report is referring to the infrastructure still required to support the growth in these areas. It is not making any comment on the land development still to occur. 10% of the capital projects relate specifically to West Sechelt and the amount for West Porpoise Bay is only 1.5%. This is compared to 67% of the projects that are deemed District-wide. The purpose of the comment in the report was to explain why District staff are recommending a single DCC charge throughout the District rather than neighbourhood specific charges.

4.9. The FCED Committee noted that some documents clarifying how the DCC

program will be administered need to be prepared. District staff will prepare the following documents over the next two months and have them available prior to Council adopting the DCC bylaw:

4.9.1. A policy and procedures for the waiving of DCC charges.

4.9.2. An explanation and examples of when exemptions and waivers would

apply. 4.9.3. A policy and procedures for administering DCC Rebates and Credits.

4.10. At the FCED meeting the following was noted: “There was discussion as to whether the District could look at time limits on the commercial DCC portion. It was suggested that the District could structure commercial DCCs between 2016 and 2018 at zero as an incentive to spur development in the downtown core”.

4.11. The Provincial Government legislation governing the imposition of DCC’s does not allow for differing DCC charges in specific areas simply as a means of encouraging development. Other mechanism are available (such as revitalization bylaws that provide property tax relief for specific types of development in pre-defined areas) to encourage growth in certain areas. This type of analysis is beyond the scope of the current DCC Bylaw update project and has not been investigated by Staff.

4.12. When preparing the DCC Bylaw and Background Report, Staff relied solely on studies and consultant reports previously prepared to expedite the process. The reports used were assumed to be accurate and to provide the best information the District currently has.

Page 5: REPORT TO COUNCIL document library...2016/07/25  · Note: Council Policy 2.4.2 is included in this report as Attachment “B”. 3.2.3. That the Committee directs Staff to prepare

RE: Approval of Development Cost Charges Bylaw No. 554

4.13. The FCED Committee raised the following concerns that cannot be addressed at this time:

4.13.1. There was some concern on Page 48, 4.1 – “Residential Growth

Projections”. The Committee felt these numbers may not be correct. The report states a growth projection of 1,568 new residents over the next 20 years, however; there is a growth estimate of units to accommodate more than 1,568 already proposed by developments currently at First Reading, with new potential developments are in the works. The Committee has requested the projection be deconstructed.

4.13.2. On page 53, “Exceptions and Waivers”, it was noted there are no DCC charges on projects under $50,000 in value and this amount has been the same for years. The Committee is questioning whether this amount should be increased to facilitate renovations and rejuvenation in the downtown core. Suggestions were made that increasing this to the $150-200,000 range should be a point of discussion. Suggestions were made that increasing this to the $150-200,000 range should be a point of discussion.

4.13.3. The Committee indicted that there are efforts being made coast-wide to have fire sprinklers installed during building renovations over a certain value. This could increase a renovation project value substantially.

4.13.4. On page 68, “Parks Projects”, the Committee expressed concerns with

the projects, costs, and the direction assumed in relation to parks. This requires further discussion.

4.13.5. The Committee may have more substantial comments on the project list

itself regarding specific projects.

4.14. District staff recommends that the items listed in paragraphs 4.13.1 through 4.13.5 be considered during the next DCC review project to avoid delaying the adoption of the proposed DCC Bylaw attached to this report.

DISTRICT OF SECHELT Council Policy

2.4.2

PURPOSE

To establish guidelines for reducing or waiving Development Cost Charges

POLICY

That Council adopts a policy for reducing or waiving Development Cost Charges (DCC’s):

1. Written applications for DCC discounts will be considered on a case by case basis;

2. Consideration will be given to the need to upgrade existing municipal services paid for

by DCC’s that are impacted by the development;

3. A DCC discount will be considered as a last resort, to facilitate projects that cannot

raise sufficient funds from other sources (senior governments, philanthropic organizations);

4. DCC discounts will be combined with covenants to ensure not-for-profit rental

housing is supported by the discount. DEFINITIONS

Development Cost Charge a charge set by bylaw for new developments to pay for

anticipated future costs of existing and new infrastructure Approval Date: November 7, 2007 Resolution #: 19260

Reducing or Waiving Development Cost Charges

Storm Drainage DCCs

the need for storm drainage works is directly related to the potential runoff generated by developments in different land use zones (and not population). therefore, storm drainage DCCs should be based on the relative runoff potential for various land uses. the most significant factor that influences the amount of runoff produced is the imperviousness of the development site, and for all intents and purposes, the runoff coefficient is equal to the percentage of impervious area. urban development increases the amount of impervious areas as a result of the construction of roads, driveways, parking lots, and rooftops. the more impervious surfaces in a watershed, the greater the increase in runoff peak and volume, in comparison to pre-development conditions. Drainage improvements are demanded in response to these impacts.

to determine the relative runoff potential between residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional categories, the total area accommodated by each land use should be calculated from the new development projections and respective gross unit densities. the minimum lot sizes and floorspace ratios are often found in background documents such as the Zoning Bylaw or other planning reports

typically, 20% of a parcel’s gross area is used for road and servicing rights-of-ways. as an example, average gross densities can be assumed for the residential DCC categories as shown in table 7.1.

tAbLe 7.1 – Average Gross Density for residential DCC Categories

DCC Categories Gross unit Density

Low Density residential 10 units per gross ha

Medium Density residential 30 units per gross ha

High Density residential (1) 60 units per gross ha

High Density residential (2) 75 units per gross ha

Values for the runoff coefficient for various land uses may be found in engineering documents such as the subdivision Control Bylaw or engineering Design Criteria Manual. an example of typical runoff coefficients for various land uses is shown in table 7.2.

tAbLe 7.2 – typical runoff Coefficients for various Land uses

Land use typical runoff Coefficients

Low Density residential 0.40 (i.e., 40% of the site is impervious)

Medium Density residential 0.65 (i.e., 65% of the site is impervious)

High Density residential (1) 0.80 (i.e., 80% of the site is impervious)

High Density residential (2) 0.80 (i.e., 80% of the site is impervious)

Commercial 0.90 (i.e., 90% of the site is impervious)

industrial 0.90 (i.e., 90% of the site is impervious)

institutional 0.85 (i.e., 85% of the site is impervious)

using the runoff coefficients, the total amount of impervious surface area for each land use can be calculated. the total impervious area may be related to low density residential land use through the concept of “equivalent drainage units” (eDu’s). an eDu is the amount of impervious area of a low-density residential unit.

For example, at a density of 10 units per hectare with a runoff coefficient of 0.40, one unit has an impervious area of 400 m2. in comparison, medium density residential at density of 30 units per hectare with a runoff coefficient of 0.65 has an impervious area of 217 m2. thus in terms of imperviousness, one unit of medium density residential is equivalent to 217/400 or 0.54 of a low-density residential unit. this ratio is known as the “equivalence factor.” in this manner, the total equivalent drainage units can be determined.

Dividing the net amount to be paid by DCCs by the total equivalent drainage units results in a DCC per eDu. the storm drainage DCC for each land use is calculated by multiplying the DCC per eDu by the equivalence factor. a sample calculation is provided in example 7.3.

Sanitary DCCs

sanitary DCCs are based on the premise that expansion and upgrading of sewerage facilities are demanded by population growth. For residential land use, typical occupancy rates were discussed in Chapter 4 on projected residential development. the impact on the sanitary sewer system from non-residential land uses is commonly expressed as a population density or as an area based demand. For example, a typical range of equivalent density is 62 to 93 m2 per person (1 to 1.5 persons per 1,000 ft.2 gross floor area) for commercial and institutional land. an area based demand can be converted to an equivalent population demand. For example, a typical commercial or industrial flow is 22,500 L/day/ha of gross site area, while the typical average per capita flow is 350 L/day. thus the equivalent population can be calculated, as shown in example 7.4 below.

Based on the average population densities for the various land uses, the total equivalent service population can be calculated. Dividing the net amount to be paid by DCCs by the total equivalent service population results in a DCC per capita. the sanitary DCC for each land use is then established by multiplying the DCC per capita by the average population densities for the respective development units. an example of the sanitary DCC calculation is provided in example 7.5 and example 7.5a.

exAMPLe 7.4 equivalent population of non-residential Land uses for Sanitary Impact

water DCCs

impact on the water supply and distribution system arises from both domestic (peak day and peak hour) demand and the requirement to provide adequate flows for fire protection. Both domestic or daily flows and fire flows vary, but to differing extents, with land use. the sizing of overall facilities has been found to be primarily dependent on peak day and peak hour flows. therefore, allocation of net DCC recoverable costs between land uses is dependent on their relative impacts on the water system. the comparative impact on the water system can be expressed in terms of domestic demand which in turn relates to population density or for non-residential development, equivalent population density. typical population densities for residential land uses can be applied in a manner similar to that which is used for the sanitary DCC calculation. similarly, an area based demand may be expressed as an equivalent population demand. a typical industrial or commercial demand is 22,500 L/day/ha of gross site area; in comparison, the typical average per capita flow is 500 L/day. the calculation of equivalent population for non-residential land uses is shown in example 7.6.

exAMPLe 7.6 equivalent Population of non-residential Land uses for water Impact

PeQ

= QN/Q

r

= 22,500 L/day/ha 500/L/day = 45 pers/ha

GiVeN:

average demand (L/day/ha gross site area) = Q

N

average per capita demand (L/day/capita) = Q

r

equivalent Population = PeQ

assumptions:Q

N = 22,500 L/day/ha

Qr = 500/L/day

With average population densities for the various land uses, the total equivalent population can be calculated. Dividing the net amount to be paid by DCCs by the total equivalent service population results in a DCC per eDu. the water DCC for each land use is established by multiplying the DCC per capita by the per person densities for the respective land use development unit. example 7.7 shows the water DCC calculation.

Parkland DCCs

since people generate the need for park and open space, DCCs are based on the relative impact of each land use according to the same equivalent population factors that were used to derive sanitary and water DCCs. if non-residential land uses have been considered to benefit from the provision of parkland (discussion in Chapter 2) and thus will be charged DCCs, then equivalent populations for these uses must be determined as well.

to obtain a schedule of parkland DCCs, the following steps should be completed:

•determine the total equivalent population;

• divide the net DCC recoverable amount by the total equivalent population to obtain a per capita DCC; and,

• multiply the DCC per capita by the population density for the respective development unit.

For the collection of DCCs for improving parkland, the inspector of Municipalities will be guided by the elements which are specifically listed in the legislation. the following comments are offered as an illustration of what will guide reviews of submissions to the inspector of Municipalities.

•Landscaping includes the construction of playing fields (levelling ground, planting grass and other plant material), but does not include the construction of parking lots or access roads.

•irrigation includes sprinkler systems.

•Playground and playing field equipment includes items normally classified as equipment such as swings and slides, but does not include buildings or structures such as dugouts, bleachers, or field houses. the term also does not include the construction of tennis or basketball courts, baseball diamonds, tracks or the installation of lighting systems.

a sample parkland DCC calculation is provided in example 7.8.
