PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT COST CHARGES IMPOSITION BYLAW

Referral Response on the Viability of Applying DCCs on Rebuilts Staff reviewed the DCC legislation, researched the DCC Best Practices Guide and consulted with staff at the Ministry on a local govermnent's ability to impose DCCs to dwellings being rebuilt. The Ministry advised that imposing DCCs on rebuilts (where DCCs were previously paid on the lot or where no capital cost burden was imposed on the municipality) contravenes sections 561(2) and (3) of the Local Government Act (LGA), which states that: LGA 561 (2) A development cost charge is not payable if a development cost charge has previously been paid for the same development unless, as a result of further development, new capital cost burdens will be imposed on the municipality, regional district or greater board. LGA 561 (3) A development cost charge is not payable if the development does not impose new capital cost burdens on the municipality, regional district or greater board. The DCC Best Practices Guide discusses that dwelling size may simply be a reflection of lifestyle preferences and fmiher states that it is unclear whether the size of a dwelling unit is indeed directly proportional to the number of occupants, thereby affecting overall service demand. With the OCP studies and update already underway, staff is recommending that the City continues to follow the current practice of assessing and collecting DC Cs for newly created lot( s) upon subdivision approval. Further review and analysis over the unit of measurement and other underlying DCC service demand and cost assumptions will be incorporated into the next major DCC update upon completion of the upcoming OCP update.
