District of Peachland Development Cost Charge (DCC) Update Information Panels

Why Does the District Levy DCCs? To pay for the costs of expanding and upgrading the District’s roads, water transmission, water treatment, parks, and wastewater infrastructure to meet the needs and impacts of growth.

What Do DCCs Pay For? DCCs can be levied for: . Transportation infrastructure . Wastewater infrastructure . Water infrastructure . Drainage infrastructure . Parks and park development

Infrastructure needs must be related to development.

By legislation, DCCs cannot be used to pay for: . Operation and maintenance of District engineering infrastructure or parkland . New or upgraded works needed only for the existing population . New libraries, fire halls, police stations and recreation buildings. Who Pays For DCCs? . Applicants for subdivision approval to create single-family development sites.

. Applicants for building permits to construct multi-family or commercial development. Why Update the DCC Bylaw?

Development cost charge bylaws must be reviewed periodically to ensure consistency with development, Peachland master planning documents and to accurately reflect construction costs.

The last review of the DCC programs and rates was completed in 2008. Since then, the following changes have taken place:

. District of Peachland Water Master Plan – amended 2015 . District of Peachland Subdivision & Development Servicing Bylaw No. 1956 - Consolidated 2014 . Parks and Recreation Master Plan - completed 2010 . Sustainable Downtown Peachland Plan – completed 2010 . Lower Princeton Area Sector Plan – completed 2011 . New Monaco Area Sector Plan – completed 2011 . Ponderosa / Pincushion Ridge Area Sector Plan – completed 2011 . District of Peachland Official Community Plan Update – ongoing . District of Peachland Zoning Bylaw 2100 – second reading 2016 . District of Peachland Corporate Strategic Plan . Updated financial information including current District of Peachland DCC Reserves . Other reports that identify future requirements for Roads, Water, Sewer, Drainage and Parks projects required to address growth.

The District is now revising its DCC rates to reflect these changes. How Were the New Rates Calculated?

The following steps were followed to calculate the new DCC rates:

STEP 1: ESTIMATE GROWTH: Growth estimates were revised to reflect land use plans for Peachland.

STEP 2: DETERMINE CAPITAL COSTS: To service anticipated growth, existing DCC capital programs were updated.

STEP 3: DETERMINE BENEFIT FACTORS: To ensure costs were shared fairly between new and existing development, a benefit factor was determined for each DCC project. The benefit factor is the percentage of a project’s costs that is attributed to growth.

STEP 4: DETERMINE MUNICIPAL ASSIST FACTOR The Local Government Act requires municipalities to assist new development with the DCC program costs. The District of Peachland will contribute 1% of DCC costs attributed to growth (the Assist Factor is currently 1%). It should be noted that increasing the Assist Factor will result in lower DCCs, but the difference must be made-up through other sources such as property taxes.

STEP 5: DETERMINE EQUIVALENT UNITS

Different land uses have different impacts on infrastructure. To reflect these differences, equivalent units were used to allocate DCC costs across land uses.

STEP 6: CALCULATE DCC RATES

The final step was to calculate DCC rates. In general, this meant dividing the DCC costs by the amount of growth to generate a charge per lot/unit/square metre. Growth Projections Residential Growth

Residential Growth estimates (20 years) are based on population projections developed by the District through review of the OCP, 15 years of population and building permit data, and other relevant planning documents (e.g. New Monaco Area Sector Plan, Lower Princeton Area Sector Plan, etc.)

. Growth projections for residential land uses are based on a baseline population growth rate of 0.5% established through 15 years of population data from BCStats.

. The baseline residential population growth rate (0.5%) in Peachland was then compared to Lake Country to determine how the onset of several large scale developments affected growth over the past ten years. The increase in percentage growth associated with large development in Lake Country (3.1%) was then added to Peachland Baseline growth (0.5%).

. This resulted in a 3.6% total annual average growth rate, which equates to an increase of about 2,097 residential units by 2036. . Growth estimates for water treatment were only applied for a ten year period. Water treatment timelines were shortened to align with the shorter timeline of these projects. Non-Residential Growth

To determine future commercial, industrial and institutional growth:

. 10 years of subdivision and building permit data was reviewed . local building permit values and construction cost estimates were used to evaluate recent trends
