2021 Draft Development Charges

Background:

The Development Charges Act, 1997 (the "DCA") is a provincially legislated tool that allows municipalities to collect charges from developers/builders to fund capital projects that are projected to service growth. The DCA requires that the Development Charges (DC) by-law accompany a DC background study and at least one public meeting. Additionally, the DCA identifies the eligible service categories in which a charge can be imposed. The Township's service areas subject to DCs are as follows:

  • Emergency Services
  • Services Related to a Highway
    • Public Works Buildings & Fleet
    • Roads & Related
  • Stormwater Management
  • Parks & Recreation
  • Development-related Studies (previously identified as general government)

Some examples of growth-related capital projects include intersection improvements/road widenings, construction of sidewalks, expansion of facilities and fleet, and studies to assess the implications of growth. Although permitted, the Township does not include water and wastewater in its DCs as these collections fall under by-law 2019-099 Water and Sewer Connection Charges (also known as impost fees). These are segregated due to the complexity of water and wastewater treatment production capacities, estimated flows, and special agreements with third parties.

The draft DC calculations are based on several factors:

  • Projected growth in accordance with the 2019 growth study and additional analysis of growth to occur in Amherstview West;

  • The growth proportions between population and employment (i.e., residential and non-residential);

  • Projected costs and timing of growth-related capital projects in the next 10 years (i.e., the planning period);

  • The level of uncommitted obligatory reserve funds available within each service area; and

  • The average level of service provided by the Township during the planning period immediately preceding the preparation of the study. This service level helps inform the maximum allowable funding envelope calculation which ensures that DCs are not used to increase the level of service beyond a level which the Township has provided over the preceding 10 years.
