System Development Charge (SDC) including School CET
The City of Scappoose conducts periodic updates to its Comprehensive Plan and its various Public Facility Plans to provide orderly and sustainable growth of local roads, water, sewer, stormwater, and parks.
A key component to funding these public facilities is the system development charge (SDC) program. SDCs are one-time charges for new development-designed to recover the costs of infrastructure capacity needed to serve new development. This section describes the policy context and project scope upon which the body of this report is based. It concludes with a non-numeric overview of the calculations presented in subsequent sections of this report.
View all SDC Rate-Study information here.
Street SDC update (2018)
The city's current schedule of SDCs for transportation/streets were last reviewed in July of 2005. In September, 2016, the City completed the task of updating the capital improvement plan (CIP) for the transportation system. With the preparation/adoption of the new transportation CIP and Transportation System Plan (TSP), the City commissioned this update of its transportation SDCs to get the methodology and rates current. (see link below for resolution and study, 31-pages)
Water SDC update (2021)
The city's current schedule of SDCs for Water were last reviewed on May of 2002. Upon completion of that review, the City Council adopted its current Water SDC Methodology via Resolution No. 02-19 date August 5, 2002. In January 2020, the City completed the task of updating the capital improvement plan (CIP) for the Water System. With the preparation/adoption of the new Water CIP and Water System Master Plan Update (WSMPU), the City commissioned this update of its Water SDCs to get the methodology and rates current. (see link below resolution & study, 22-pages)
With these reviews and updates, the City has stated a number of objectives:
• Review the basis for transportation charges to ensure a consistent methodology;
• Address specific policy, administrative, and technical issues which had arisen from application of the existing transportation SDCs;
• Determine the most appropriate and defensible fees, ensuring that development is paying its way;
• Consider possible revisions to the structure or basis of the charges which might improve equity or proportionality to demand;
• Provide clear, orderly documentation of the assumptions, methodology, and results, so that City staff could, by reference, respond to questions or concerns from the public.
