Development Charges

• Purpose of Development Charges (D.C.) is to recover the capital costs

associated with residential and non-residential growth within the

constructed as part of a subdivision (i.e. internal roads, watermains,

roads, sidewalks, streetlights, etc.)

• Municipalities are empowered to impose these charges via the

Development Charges Act (D.C.A.)

1. For newly constructed projects benefit to existing or non-growth share is considered to be nil. For road widenings or upgrades, benefit to existing or non-growth share is based on the cost to the Town of repaving theexisting sections of

road twice to build-out of the Town. In short the non-growth share is the capital cost the Town would incur if there was no growth in the Town to 2031. The calculation of the non-growth share assumes thefollowing resurfacing costs per km:

• The Act is specific in identifying that the revenue forgone may not be

made up by increasing the D.C.s for other classes of development

funded via taxes, rates, reserves or other financial resources

Non-Statutory Exemptions for Further Considerations

• Clarifying non-residential farm building definition to exclude

commercial, retail, and marijuana production facilities from the

application of the exemption

D.C. By-Law Definitions

• Dwelling Units (Special Care Dwellings)

• Proposed that dwelling unit definition include wording that exclusive

culinary facilities may be provided, suggesting special care

dwellings would be treated as residential development

• Industrial Definition re: Self Storage Facilities

• Recommended that the definition of Industrial Uses exclude Self

Storage Facilities

• This recommendation is consistent with the treatment of these types

of employment in the North American Industrial Classification

System, where this employment is classified as real estate and

rental leasing and is included in the commercial sector in the DC

Background Study Growth Forecast.

• Further revisions to by-law definitions are being considered to clarify

current policies and practices

buildings or structures are generally granted to recognize what is being

by-law reviews

• Indexing can be:

D.C. By-Law Policies

• Where no D.C.s currently exist or calculated increases are more

significant, Council may wish to consider a transition policy

• Phasing-in the implementation of the charge over multiple years

(e.g. equal instalments over the 5-year by-law term)

• Transition period of 6 months between notification of increase (i.e.

stakeholder consultation) and implementation of increased charge
