1. Introduction 1.1

Purpose of this Document

This background study has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Development Charges Act (D.C.A.), 1997 (s.10), and accordingly, recommends new development charges (D.C.) and policies for the County of Prince Edward. The County retained Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. (Watson) to undertake the D.C. Background Study process in 2017. Watson worked with senior staff from the County in preparing this D.C. analysis and the policy recommendations. This D.C. Background Study, containing the proposed D.C. By-Law, will be distributed to members of the public in order to provide interested parties with sufficient background information on the legislation, the study’s recommendations and an outline of the basis for these recommendations. This report has been prepared, in the first instance, to meet the statutory requirements applicable to the County’s D.C. Background Study, as summarized in Chapter 4 and applied in Chapters 5 and 6. It also addresses the forecast amount, type and location of growth (Chapter 3), the requirement for “rules” governing the imposition of the charges (Chapter 7), asset management plan requirements under the D.C.A. (Chapter 8), and the proposed by-law to be made available as part of the approval process (Appendix D). In addition, the report is designed to set out sufficient background on the legislation, the County’s current D.C. policy (Chapter 2) and the policies underlying the proposed bylaw, to make the exercise understandable to interested parties. Finally, the D.C. Background Study addresses post-adoption implementation requirements (Chapter 9) which are critical to the successful application of the new policy. The chapters in the report are supported by Appendices containing the data required to explain and substantiate the calculation of the charge. A full discussion of the statutory requirements for the preparation of a background study and calculation of a D.C. is provided herein.

Summary of the Process

Subsequent to the issuance of this report publicly, a public meeting required under Section 12 of the D.C.A., will be held. Its purpose is to present the study to the public and to solicit public input on the proposed D.C. by-law. The meeting will also be held to answer any questions regarding the study’s purpose and methodology. Figure 1-1 outlines the process undertaken to date and the proposed schedule to be followed with respect to the D.C. by-law adoption process. In accordance with the legislation, the D.C. Background Study will be posted on the County’s website no later than 60 days prior to by-law passage, and the study and proposed D.C. by-law will be made available for public review at least two weeks prior to the statutory public meeting. Following the statutory public meeting, the process to be followed in finalizing the report and recommendations includes: •

consideration of responses received prior to, at or immediately following the public meeting;

•

Council determination if any further public meetings are required on the matter;

•

finalization of the study and Council consideration of the by-law (prior to expiry of By-law 3205-2013, on March 6, 2018); and

•

2. Current County of Prince Edward D.C. Policy 2.1

By-law Enactment

On March 5, 2013, the County of Prince Edward passed By-Law 3205-2013 under the D.C.A., 1997. The By-law came into effect on the day after passage and imposes uniform County-wide D.C.s by service for all permissible municipal services, with the exception of Water and Wastewater Services which are imposed under a Municipal Act Capital Charge. By-Law 3205-2013 was subsequently amended by By-Law 3069-2015 to add D.C.s for wind and solar and clarify definitions within the by-law, and By-Law 3759-2016 to extend the partial D.C. exemption for residential developments within the municipal water and wastewater service and for non-residential developments within the County.

2.2

2.3

Timing of D.C. Calculation and Payment

D.C. s are calculated, payable, and collected by the County at the time a building permit is issued for development.

2.4

Redevelopment Credit

The County’s current By-law provides D.C. credits where as a result of the redevelopment of land, a building or structure existing on land was or is to be demolished in whole or in part, or converted form one principal use to another principal use. A credit will only be issued where a building or structure existing on the same land within 5 years prior to the date of payment of D.C.s. D.C.s are payable for the dwelling units or additional non-residential floor area created in excess of what was demolished. In no case shall the net charge be less than zero.

2.5

Exemptions

The County’s D.C. By-Law includes statutory exemptions from payment of D.C.s with respect to: •

Industrial additions of up to and including 50% of the existing gross floor area of the building – for industrial additions which exceed 50% of the existing gross floor area, only the portion of the addition in excess of 50% is subject to the payment of D.C.s;

•

Land used for Municipal or Board of Education purposes; and

•

Residential development that results in only the enlargement of an existing dwelling unit, or that results only in the creation of up to two additional dwelling units (as specified by O.Reg. 82/98).



Page 2-3 The By-Law also provides non-statutory exemptions from payment of D.C.s with respect to: • •

A non-residential farm building as defined in the Building Code Act; A place of worship;

• •

New Industrial development (excluding wind and solar energy facilities); Park Model Trailer conforming to National Standard of Canada CAN CSAZ241.0-92 or similar standard that is up to a maximum size of 50 square metres; A temporary building or structure;

• •

A reduction of 30% in D.C.s is allowed for the affordable housing, as defined in the by-law, for any residential dwelling unit for which the purchase price is at least 25% less than the average purchase price for the same type of residential dwelling unit in the County of Prince Edward and for any residential dwelling unit where the monthly rent is at or below the maximum affordable monthly rent amount established by the Residential Rental Standers board for the Province of Ontario; and

•

Reduction of D.C.s to Encourage Growth in Specific Areas • 50% reduction for residential development occurring in fully or partially serviced areas •

50% reduction for all non-residential development.

3. Anticipated Development in the County of Prince Edward 3.1

Requirements of the Act

Chapter 4 provides the methodology for calculating a D.C. as per the D.C.A. Figure 4-1 presents this methodology graphically. It is noted in the first box of the schematic that in order to determine the D.C. that may be imposed, it is a requirement of section 5(1) of the D.C.A. that, “the anticipated amount, type and location of development, for which D.C.s can be imposed, must be estimated.” The growth forecast contained in this chapter (with supplemental tables in Appendix A) provides for the anticipated development for which the County of Prince Edward will be required to provide services, over a 10-year (2018 – 2028), 20-year (2018 – 2038), and buildout time horizon.

3.2

Basis of Population, Household and Non-Residential Gross Floor Area Forecast

The D.C. growth forecast has been derived based on extensive discussions with County staff regarding historical and anticipated development trends, phasing, land availability and market demand. In compiling the growth forecast, the following reports were also consulted to help assess residential and non-residential development potential for Prince Edward County over the forecast period, including: •

Prince Edward County, 2013 D.C. Background Study;

•

Prince Edward County, 2013 D.C. Statutory Review and Growth Options Study;

•

2001, 2006, 2011, and 2016 residential Census data;

• •

2001, 2006, and 2011 Census employment data; A review of residential and non-residential land supply;

•

A review of historical residential (permanent and seasonal) and nonresidential development activity over the past 10 years; and

•

Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (O.M.A.F.R.A) EMSI Analyst, 2011-2017 (Q1 2017 employment data set).

Page 3-3 As identified in Table 3-1 and Schedule 1, Prince Edward County’s population is anticipated to reach approximately 26,214 by 2028, 27,430 by 2038, and 34,900 by buildout. 1 This represents an increase of 1,330 persons, 2,545 persons, and 10,015 persons over the 10-year, 20-year, and buildout forecast period, respectively. The County’s seasonal population 2 is forecast to increase to 10,205 in 2028, 12,125 in 2038, and 18,860 by buildout. The County’s total population (permanent and seasonal population) is forecast to reach 35,730 by 2028, 38,835 by 2038, and 52,840 by buildout. Provided below is a summary of the key assumptions and findings regarding Prince Edward County’s D.C. growth forecast. 1. Unit Mix (Appendix A – Schedules 1 through 7) •

The unit mix for the County was derived from the 2013 Growth Options Study, a review of historical development activity, a review of designated urban land supply, (as per Schedule 6 & 7) and discussions with planning staff regarding anticipated development trends for the County.

•

Based on the above, the 20-year (2018-2038) household growth forecast is comprised of a housing unit mix of approximately 76% low density (single detached and semi-detached), 14% medium density (multiples except apartments) and 10% high density (bachelor, 1 bedroom and 2+ bedroom apartments).

2. Geographic Location of Residential Development (Appendix A – Schedule 2) •

Schedule 2 summarizes the anticipated amount, type, and location of development for Prince Edward County by development location. The percentage of forecast housing growth between 2018 and 2038 by settlement area and remaining rural area is provided on the following page.

Page 3-6 4. Planning Period •

Short- and longer-term time horizons are required for the D.C. process. The D.C.A. limits the planning horizon for certain services, such as parks, recreation and libraries, to a 10-year planning horizon. Roads, fire and other hard services utilize a longer forecast period.

5. Population in New Units (Appendix A – Schedules 3 through 8) • The number of housing units to be constructed in Prince Edward County during the planning periods is presented on Figure 3-2. Over the 20-year term (2018-2038) forecast period, the County is anticipated to average approximately 146 new permanent and seasonal housing units per year. •

Population in new units is derived from Schedules 3, 4, and 5, which incorporates historical development activity, anticipated units (see unit mix discussion) and average persons per unit by dwelling type for new units.

•

Schedule 8 summarizes the average number of persons per unit (P.P.U.) for new housing units by age and type of dwelling, based on 2011 custom Census data for Prince Edward County. The 20-year average P.P.U.s by dwelling type are as follows: • •

Low density: Medium density:

2.56 1.47

•

High density:

1.35

Existing households as of 2018 are based on the 2016 Census households, plus estimated residential units constructed between 2016 and 2017, assuming a 6-month lag between construction and occupancy (see Schedule 3). The decline in average occupancy levels for existing housing units is calculated in Schedules 3 through 5, by aging the existing population over the forecast period. The forecast population decline in existing households over the 2018 to 2038 forecast period is estimated at approximately 1,295.

Employment projections are largely based on the activity rate method, which is defined as the number of jobs in Prince Edward County divided by the number of residents. Key employment sectors include primary, industrial, commercial/ population-related, institutional and work-at-home, which are considered individually below. The County’s 2011 1 employment base by place of work is outlined in Schedule 10. The 2011 employment base is comprised of the following sectors: • 420 primary (approx. 6%); • •

1,185 work-at-home employment (approx. 18%); 888 industrial (approx. 14%);

• •

2,198 commercial (approx. 34%); and 1,785 institutional (approx. 28%).

•

The 2011 employment base by usual place of work, including work at home, is approximately 6,475 jobs.

•

The County’s 2018 employment base is estimated at 7,215 based on a review of non-residential development and employment growth trends between 2011 and 2017. Prince Edward County’s employment base is anticipated to reach 7,980 by 2028, 8,750 by 2038, and 11,085 at buildout.

•

Schedule 10b, Appendix A, summarized the employment forecast, excluding work at home employment, which is the basis for the D.C.A. employment forecast. The impact on the County’s services from work at home employees has already been included in the population forecast. Accordingly, work at home employees have been removed from the D.C.A. employment forecast calculations.

•

Total employment for Prince Edward County (excluding work at home employment) is anticipated to reach approximately 6,590 by 2028, 7,265 by 2038, and 9,240 at buildout. This represents an employment increase of approximately 615, 1,290, and 3,265 additional jobs over the 10-year, 20-year, and buildout periods, respectively.

2011 employment based on Statistics Canada custom employment data.



Page 3-9 8. Non-Residential Sq.ft. Estimates ((Gross Floor Area (G.F.A.), Appendix A – Schedule 10b) •

Square footage estimates were calculated in Schedule 10b based on the following employee density assumptions: • •

•

•

1,100 sq.ft. per employee for industrial; 500 sq.ft. per employee for commercial; and

• 700 sq.ft. per employee for institutional employment. The County-wide incremental non-residential G.F.A. increase is anticipated to be approximately 403,000 sq.ft. over the 10-year forecast period, 853,000 sq.ft. over the 20-year forecast period, and 2,143,000 sq.ft. over the buildout forecast period. In terms of percentage growth, the 20-year incremental G.F.A. forecast by sector is broken down as follows: • industrial – approx. 42%; • •

commercial – approx. 44%; and institutional – approx. 14%.

4. The Approach to the Calculation of the Charge This chapter addresses the requirements of s.s.5(1) of the D.C.A., 1997 with respect to the establishment of the need for service which underpins the D.C. calculation. These requirements are illustrated schematically in Figure 4-1.

4.1

Services Potentially Involved

Table 4-1 lists the full range of municipal service categories which are provided within the County. A number of these services are defined in s.s.2(4) of the D.C.A., 1997 as being ineligible for inclusion in D.C.s. These are shown as “ineligible” on Table 4-1. In addition, two ineligible costs defined in s.s.5(3) of the D.C.A. are “computer equipment” and “rolling stock with an estimated useful life of [less than] seven years...” In addition, certain roads and stormwater management services covered separately under subdivision and consent agreements are excluded from D.C. calculations as local services. Moreover, the capital costs of water and wastewater services related to development are recovered for under a separate Municipal Act Capital Charges By-law. Services which are potentially eligible for inclusion in the County’s D.C. are indicated with a “Yes”. The D.C.A allows municipalities to define services for inclusion in the by-law. In discussions with County staff it was determined that services previously defined as Outdoor Recreation Services, and Indoor Recreation Services, would be combined more broadly and defined as Parks and Recreation Services. Moreover, new services have been considered in this D.C. Background Study for Waste Diversion Services and Municipal Parking Services.

4.2

Increase in Need for Service

The D.C. calculation commences with an estimate of “the increase in the need for service attributable to the anticipated development,” for each service to be covered by the By-Law. There must be some form of link or attribution between the anticipated development and the estimated increase in the need for service. While the need could conceivably be expressed generally in terms of units of capacity, s.s.5(1)3, which requires that municipal council indicate that it intends to ensure that such an increase in



Page 4-2 need will be met, suggests that a project-specific expression of need would be most appropriate. In order for an increase in need for service to be included in the D.C. calculation, municipal council must indicate “...that it intends to ensure that such an increase in need will be met” (s.s.5(1)3). This can be done if the increase in service forms part of a Council-approved Official Plan, capital forecast or similar expression of the intention of Council (O.Reg. 82/98 s.3). The capital program contained herein reflects the County’s approved and proposed capital budgets and master servicing/needs assessments.

4.3

Local Service Policy

Some of the need for services generated by additional development consists of local services related to a plan of subdivision or consent agreement. As such, they will be required to be emplaced (or funded) directly by developers as a condition of subdivision agreements or consent conditions. This precludes these works from being included in the calculation of a development charge. The County’s general policy guidelines on D.C. and local service funding is detailed in Appendix E to this report.

4.4

Capital Forecast

Paragraph 7 of s.s.5(1) of the D.C.A. requires that, “the capital costs necessary to provide the increased services must be estimated.” The Act goes on to require two potential cost reductions and the Regulation sets out the way in which such costs are to be presented. These requirements are outlined below. These estimates involve capital costing of the increased services discussed above. This entails costing actual projects or the provision of service units, depending on how each service has been addressed. The capital costs include: a) b) c) d)

costs to acquire land or an interest therein (including a leasehold interest); costs to improve land; costs to acquire, lease, construct or improve buildings and structures; costs to acquire, lease or improve facilities including rolling stock (with a useful life of 7 or more years), furniture and equipment (other than computer equipment), materials acquired for library circulation, reference or information purposes; e) interest on money borrowed to pay for the above-referenced costs; f) costs to undertake studies in connection with the above-referenced matters; and g) costs of the D.C. background study.

Treatment of Credits

Section 8 para. 5 of O.Reg. 82/98 indicates that a D.C. background study must set out, “the estimated value of credits that are being carried forward relating to the service.” s.s.17 para. 4 of the same Regulation indicates that, “...the value of the credit cannot be recovered from future D.C.s,” if the credit pertains to an ineligible service. This implies that a credit for eligible services can be recovered from future D.C.s. As a result, this provision should be made in the calculation, in order to avoid a funding shortfall with respect to future service needs. The County currently has no outstanding credit obligations.

4.6

Eligible Debt and Committed Excess Capacity

Section 66 of the D.C.A., 1997 states that for the purposes of developing a D.C. by-law, a debt incurred with respect to an eligible service may be included as a capital cost, subject to any limitations or reductions in the Act. Similarly, s.18 of O.Reg. 82/98 indicates that debt with respect to an ineligible service may be included as a capital cost, subject to several restrictions. In order for such costs to be eligible, two conditions must apply. First, they must have funded excess capacity which is able to meet service needs attributable to the anticipated development. Second, the excess capacity must be “committed,” that is, either before or at the time it was created, Council must have expressed a clear intention that it would be paid for by D.C.s or other similar charges. For example, this may have been done as part of previous D.C. processes. The County currently has outstanding debt payments related to the replacement and expansion of the Wellington Arena, which are included in the calculation of the D.C. for Parks and Recreation Services. Furthermore, capital costs for previous expansions to the provision of Fire facilities has been included as ‘committed excess capacity’ in the anticipated capital needs for Fire Protection Services.

4.7

Existing Reserve Funds

Section 35 of the D.C.A. states that: “The money in a reserve fund established for a service may be spent only for capital costs determined under paragraphs 2 to 8 of subsection 5(1).”



Page 4-8 There is no explicit requirement under the D.C.A. calculation method set out in s.s.5(1) to net the outstanding reserve fund balance as part of making the D.C. calculation; however, s.35 does restrict the way in which the funds are used in future. The County’s projected uncommitted D.C. reserve fund balances, by service, as at December 31, 2017 are presented in Table 4-2. Projected balances account for required draws for completed D.C. eligible projects and anticipated D.C. collections to December 31, 2017. These balances have been applied against future spending requirements for all services. Table 4-2 County of Prince Edward Projected Uncommitted D.C.

Deductions

The D.C.A., 1997 potentially requires that five deductions be made to the increase in the need for service. These relate to: • •

the level of service ceiling; uncommitted excess capacity;

• •

benefit to existing development; anticipated grants, subsidies and other contributions; and

•

a 10% reduction for certain services.

The requirements behind each of these reductions are addressed as follows:

4.8.1 Reduction Required by Level of Service Ceiling This is designed to ensure that the increase in need for services does “…not include an increase that would result in the level of service (for the additional development Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.


Page 4-9 increment) exceeding the average level of the service provided in the County over the 10-year period immediately preceding the preparation of the background study…” O.Reg. 82/98 (s.4) goes further to indicate that, “…both the quantity and quality of a service shall be taken into account in determining the level of service and the average level of service.” Moreover, the D.C.A., 1997 does not require this historical level of service calculation for transit services. As per subsection 5.2(3) of the D.C.A., “…the estimate for the increase in the need for a prescribed service (i.e. transit services) shall not exceed the planned level of service over the 10-year period immediately following the preparation of the background study…”. In many cases this can be done by establishing a quantity measure in terms of units as floor area, land area or road length per capita, and a quality measure in terms of the average cost of providing such units based on replacement costs, engineering standards or recognized performance measurement systems, depending on circumstances. When the quantity and quality factor are multiplied together, they produce a measure of the level of service, which meets the requirements of the Act, i.e. cost per unit. The average service level calculation sheets for each service component in the D.C. calculation are set out in Appendix B.

4.8.2 Reduction for Uncommitted Excess Capacity Paragraph 5 of s.s.5(1) requires a deduction from the increase in the need for service attributable to the anticipated development that can be met using the County’s “excess capacity,” other than excess capacity which is “committed” (discussed above in 4.5). “Excess capacity” is undefined, but in this case must be able to meet some or all of the increase in need for service, in order to potentially represent a deduction. The deduction of uncommitted excess capacity from the future increase in the need for service, would normally occur as part of the conceptual planning and feasibility work associated with justifying and sizing new facilities, e.g. if a road widening to accommodate increased traffic is not required because sufficient excess capacity is already available, then widening would not be included as an increase in need, in the first instance.

4.8.3 Reduction for Benefit to Existing Development This step involves a further reduction to the need, by the extent to which such an increase in service would benefit existing development. The level of services cap is related, but is not the identical requirement. Wastewater (sanitary), stormwater and Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.


Page 4-10 water trunks are highly localized to growth areas and can be more readily allocated in this regard than other services such as roads which do not have a fixed service area. Where existing development has an adequate service level which will not be tangibly increased by an increase in service, no benefit would appear to be involved. For example, where expanding existing library facilities simply replicates what existing residents are receiving, they receive very limited (or no) benefit as a result. On the other hand, where a clear existing service problem is to be remedied, a deduction should be made accordingly. In the case of services such as recreation facilities, community parks, libraries, etc., the service is typically provided on a municipal-wide system basis. For example, facilities of the same type may provide different services (i.e. leisure pool vs. competitive pool), different programs (i.e. hockey vs. figure skating) and different time availability for the same service (i.e. leisure skating available on Wednesday in one arena and Thursday in another). As a result, residents will travel to different facilities to access the services they want at the times they wish to use them, and facility location generally does not correlate directly with residence location. Even where it does, displacing users from an existing facility to a new facility frees up capacity for use by others and generally results in only a very limited benefit to existing development. Further, where an increase in demand is not met for a number of years, a negative service impact to existing development is involved for a portion of the planning period.

4.8.4 Reduction for Anticipated Grants, Subsidies and Other Contributions This step involves reducing the capital costs necessary to provide the increased services by capital grants, subsidies and other contributions made or anticipated by Council and in accordance with various rules such as the attribution between the share related to new vs. existing development O.Reg. 82/98, s.6. Where grant programs do not allow funds to be applied to growth-related capital needs, the proceeds can be applied to the non-growth share of the project exclusively. Moreover, Gas Tax revenues are typically used to fund non-growth-related works or the non-growth share of D.C. projects, given that the contribution is not being made in respect of particular growth-related capital projects.

4.8.5 The 10% Reduction Paragraph 8 of s.s.(1) of the D.C.A. requires that, “the capital costs must be reduced by 10 percent.” This paragraph does not apply to water supply services, wastewater services, stormwater drainage and control services, services related to a highway, Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.


Page 4-11 police, fire protection services, and transit services. The primary services that the 10% reduction does apply to include services such as parks and recreation, libraries, childcare/social services, ambulance, homes for the aged and health. The 10% is to be netted from the capital costs necessary to provide the increased services, once the other deductions have been made, as per the infrastructure cost sheets in Chapter 5.

4.9

D.C. By-Law Spatial Applicability

There are four basic choices to be addressed when considering the geographic application of a D.C.: 1. the entire municipality for all services (which is the most commonly-used approach); 2. part of the municipality for all services; balance of the municipality is exempt (because it is outside the service’s coverage area or can be served at little or no incremental cost); 3. different by-laws and charges in different municipal service areas (in order to recognize distinctly different servicing cost situations); and 4. a uniform municipal-wide charge with separate charge covering additional areaspecific services (e.g. the coverage area for specific works). Subsection 2(9) of the D.C.A. may prescribe services for which a D.C. by-law must apply on an area-specific basis. For prescribed services, Council shall pass different D.C. by-laws for different parts of the municipality, in accordance with the prescribed criteria. Currently the Province has not prescribed services under this subsection of the D.C.A. For services that are not prescribed under s.s. 2(9) of the D.C.A., the background study must give consideration of the use of more than one D.C. by-law to reflect different needs for services in different areas. Area-specific charges have been reviewed with County staff as part of the Implementation Policy Review, as contained in Appendix F. Recognizing the system-wide nature of services included in the County’s D.C. By-Law and current preference for uniform funding in other mechanisms (e.g. water and wastewater rates), in part to provide equity across constituents, no changes are currently recommended to the County’s uniform D.C. policies.



Page 5-1

5. D.C. Eligible Cost Analysis by Service This chapter outlines the basis for calculating D.C. eligible costs to be applied on a County-wide uniform basis for all services. The required calculation process set out in s.5(1) paragraphs 2 to 8 in the D.C.A., 1997, and described in Chapter 4, was followed in determining D.C. eligible costs. The nature of the capital projects and timing identified in this chapter reflects Council’s current intention. However, over time, municipal projects and Council priorities change and, accordingly, Council’s intentions may alter and different capital projects (and timing) may be required to meet the need for services required by new growth.

5.1

Service Levels and 10-Year Capital Costs for County-wide D.C. Calculation

This section evaluates the development-related capital requirements for select services over the 10-year planning period (2018-2027). For these services, each service component is evaluated on two format sheets: the average historical 10-year level of service calculation (see Appendix B), which “caps” the D.C. amounts; and the infrastructure cost calculation, which determines the potential D.C. recoverable cost.

5.1.1 Marinas and Boat Launches The County currently has 17 marina locations including boat launches, docks, washrooms, and boardwalks. In total, the inventory of Marina and Boat Launches assets provides a historic average level of service of approximately $63 per capita. The historical level of investment in Marinas and Boat Launches provides for a D.C.-eligible amount over the forecast period of approximately $254,000. The County will require funds related to the municipal cost share of two boardwalk projects. In total, the gross capital cost estimates for the municipal cost share of the increase in need for service, totals $427,000. After deductions of $102,000 for the benefit to development beyond the 10-year period, and $32,000 for the statutory 10% deduction, the net D.C. eligible costs total $288,000. Accounting for $70,000 related to D.C.s already collected towards these needs, the total D.C. eligible capital costs that have been included in the calculation of the charge is $222,000. The allocation of net growth-related costs for Marinas and Boat Launches between residential, and non-residential development is 87% and 13% respectively, reflective of the incremental growth in population and employment over the forecast period. Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.


Page 5-2

5.1.2 Parks and Recreation Services The County currently maintains approximately 151 acres of developed parkland, and 133 parkland amenities (including trails, playground equipment, changerooms, etc.). Furthermore, the County utilizes 184,000 sq.ft. of indoor recreation facility space in providing parks and recreation services. To assist in the provision of services through the aforementioned facilities, parks, and trails inventory, the County utilizes 16 vehicle and equipment items. The County’s level of service over the historic 10-year period averaged $1,347 per capita. In total, the maximum D.C.-eligible amount for Parks and Recreation Services over the 10-year forecast period is approximately $5.4 million based on the established level of service standards. The 10-year capital needs for Parks and Recreation Services to accommodate growth have a total gross capital cost of approximately $16.5 million. These capital needs are comprised of future parkland and trail development, additional indoor recreation space needs, and additional parks maintenance vehicles. Furthermore, the future debt payments related to the Wellington Arena/Replacement have also been included. Approximately $12.9 million has been deducted to reflect the benefit to the existing of the identified projects, and a further $291,000 has been deducted to account for a portion of the Wellington Arena debt payment related to an increase in level of service at the time of construction. The statutory 10% deduction applicable for recreation and parks services totals $287,000 and approximately $722,000 has been deducted from the D.C. recoverable capital costs recognizing the existing reserve fund balance. This results in net growth-related capital costs for inclusion in the D.C. calculation of approximately $2.4 million. As the predominant users of parks and recreation services tend to be residents of the County, the forecast growth-related costs have been allocated 95% to residential development and 5% to non-residential development.

5.1.3 Library Services Library services are provided by the County through the provision of approximately 20,400 sq.ft. of facility space and 58,000 library collection material items. The average level of service provided over the historical 10-year period based on this inventory is $199 per capita. When applied to anticipated growth over the 2018-2027 period, the per capita level of service produces a maximum D.C. eligible amount for Library Services of approximately $799,000.



Page 5-3 The gross capital costs included in the D.C. calculation for the 10-year forecast period total $1.5 million. The capital cost estimates include an Expansion to the Picton Library branch and a provision for additional collection items. Deductions for the benefit to existing development total $395,000 reflective of improvements to the existing space within the Picton Library branch and a change in the provision of services benefitting existing development. A further $399,000 has been deducted to reflect the expansion of the library for uses not related to Library Services. To the extent that this additional space is used for Library Services in the future, it may be eligible for inclusion in a future D.C. Background Study. Furthermore, deductions of approximately $65,000 for the required 10% statutory deduction have also been applied. There is a current reserve fund balance of $189,000, when applied results in a net D.C. recoverable capital cost of $393,000 which has been included in the D.C. calculation. Similar to Parks and Recreation Services, the predominant users of library services tend to be residents of the County, as such the forecast growth-related costs have been allocated 95% to residential development and 5% to non-residential development.

5.1.4 Administration (Studies) The D.C.A. permits the inclusion of studies undertaken to facilitate the completion of the County’s capital works program and the D.C. Background Study. The County has made provision for the inclusion of new studies undertaken to facilitate future D.C. processes, as well as other studies which benefit future growth, including, master plans (e.g. Recreation Master Plan) and planning studies (e.g. Secondary Plans, Official Plan Update, and Comprehensive Zoning By-law). The gross capital cost estimates for these studies total approximately $2.2 million over the 10-year forecast period. Approximately $817,000 has been deducted in recognition of the benefits to the existing population, and approximately $514,000 has been deducted for existing reserve fund balances. Applying the 10% statutory deduction, the net growth-related capital costs included in the calculation of the charge totals approximately $635,000. These costs have been allocated 87% to residential development, and 13% to nonresidential development based on the incremental growth in population to employment for the 10-year forecast period.

5.1.5 Homes for the Aged The County currently provides Homes for the Aged Services through the provision of 84 beds within 31,100 sq.ft. of facility space. The average level of service provided over Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.


Page 5-4 the historical 10-year period based on this inventory is $504 per capita. When applied to anticipated growth over the 2018-2027 period, the per capita level of service produces a maximum D.C. eligible amount for Homes for the Aged of approximately $2.0 million. The gross capital cost included in the D.C. calculation for the 10-year forecast period is $7.3 million for a 44-bed expansion to the existing facility. It is anticipated that the increase in service will benefit growth over the 20-year forecast period, and as such $1.2 million has been deducted to reflect the benefits to development beyond the 10year planning period. Deductions for the benefit to existing development total $4.6 million. Furthermore, deductions of approximately $459,000 for anticipated grants and $110,000 for the required 10% statutory deduction and have also been applied. There is a current reserve fund balance of $371,000 when applied to growth-related increase in need results in a net D.C. recoverable capital cost of $615,000 which has been included in the D.C. calculation. The D.C. eligible capital costs for Homes for the Aged Services have allocated entirely to residential development due to the nature of the demand for services.

5.1.6 Waste Diversion Services The County currently provides Waste Diversion Services through a contracted service arrangement. There are currently three transfer stations related to waste diversion, that provide an average level of service over the 10-year historical period of approximately $1 per capita. When applied to anticipated growth over the 2018-2027 period, the per capita level of service produces a maximum D.C. eligible amount for Waste Diversion Services of $5,000. The County does not currently anticipate any growth related capital needs over the 2017-2028 forecast period. However, the service has been included within the D.C. Background Study to provide a basis for consideration in future studies, should the County’s provision for this service change.

5.1.7 Municipal Parking Services The County currently provides Municipal Parking Services through the provision of 192 off-street parking spaces. The average level of service provided over the historical 10year period based on this inventory is $39 per capita. When applied to anticipated growth over the 2018-2027 forecast period, the per capita level of service produces a maximum D.C. eligible amount for Municipal Parking Services of $155,000. Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.


Page 5-5 The County anticipates adding 219 off-street parking spaces within five parking lots over the 2018-2027 forecast period. The gross capital costs included in the D.C. calculation for these needs totals $1.4 million. After deducting $1.2 million reflective of increases in current level of service and benefits to development beyond 2028, and $15,000 deduction for the statutory 10% deduction, approximately $139,000 in D.C. eligible capital costs have been included in the calculation of the charge. These costs have been allocated 87% to residential development, and 13% to nonresidential development based on the incremental growth in population to employment for the 10-year forecast period.

When applied to the forecast population growth to 2037 (i.e. 7,127 incremental net-population growth), a maximum D.C.-eligible cost of approximately $87.1 million could be expected to meet the future increase in needs for service. The review of the County’s transportation needs for the forecast period identified $34.8 million in gross capital costs. These capital needs include various road extensions, widenings, intersection improvements and signalizations, and additional public works facility space and vehicles. Recognizing the benefit to existing development, approximately $16.5 million has been deducted. Furthermore, $2.8 million has been deducted in recognition of new roads servicing potential growth areas outside of the 20year forecast period. Approximately $3.5 million has been deducted from the potential D.C. recoverable costs for existing reserve fund balances, accounting for funds already secured towards these future needs. As a result, approximately $12.0 million in capital costs have been included in the D.C. calculation. The net growth-related costs for Transportation Services have been allocated between future residential and non-residential development on the basis of incremental population to employment growth over the forecast period (i.e. 85% residential, 15% non-residential).

5.2.2 Fire Protection Services The County currently has 47,000 sq.ft. of floor space within four fire stations and 4,300 sq.ft. of facility floor space within 14 locations. The County also maintains an inventory of 35 vehicles and provides 228 items of equipment for fire protection. In total, the inventory of Fire Protection Services assets provides a historic average level of service of approximately $655 per capita. The historical level of investment in Fire Protection



Page 5-14 Services provides for a D.C.-eligible amount over the forecast period of approximately $4.7 million. The County will require funds for the replacement and expansion of two new fire stations, and an additional Fire Rescue Boat. Furthermore, $2.3 million has been included as committed excess capacity reflective of the D.C. eligible costs of previously constructed facilities. In total, the gross capital cost estimates for the increase in need for service, totals $5.5 million. After deductions of $3.0 million for the benefit to existing development, the net D.C. eligible costs total $2.5 million. Accounting for $675,000 related to the reserve fund deficit position, the total D.C. eligible capital costs included in the calculation of the charge are $3.2 million. The allocation of net growth-related costs for fire services between residential, and nonresidential development is 85% and 15% respectively, reflective of the incremental growth in population and employment over the forecast period.

6. D.C. Calculation Tables 6-1 to 6-2 present the D.C. calculation for the growth-related capital costs identified in Chapter 5. Table 6-1 presents the D.C. calculation for County-wide services over the 20-year period (i.e. 2018-2037), and presented in Table 6-2 is the calculated D.C.s for County-wide services over the 10-year planning horizon (i.e. 20182027). Table 6-3 summarizes the calculation of maximum D.C.s by residential dwelling type, per square foot of gross floor area for non-residential development, and per 500kW of generating capacity for wind and solar energy facilities. For the residential calculations, charges are calculated on a per single detached unit (greater than two bedrooms) equivalent basis and converted to six forms of dwelling unit types: • • •

single and semi-detached dwelling (greater than 2 bedrooms); single and semi-detached dwelling (2 bedrooms or less); apartments (2 bedrooms and larger);

• •

apartments (bachelor and 1 bedrooms); other multiples (greater than 2 bedrooms); and

•

other multiples (2 bedrooms or less)

The D.C. for non-residential wind and solar energy facility development has been calculated based on the single and semi-detached dwelling (greater than 2 bedrooms) rate for Transportation Services, Fire Protection Services, and Administration Studies. For all other non-residential development, the D.C. for has been calculated on a per square foot of gross floor area basis. Tables 6-4 and 6-7 compare the County’s existing charges (inflated to 2018$ at 2.3%) to the charges proposed herein (Table 6-3), for single and semi-detached dwellings (greater than 2 bedrooms) and non-residential development respectively.

7. D.C. Policy Recommendations and D.C. By-law Rules This chapter outlines the D.C. policy recommendations and by-law rules. The rules provided are based on the review of methodology and implementation polices with senior County staff. Further background on the implementation policies can be found in Appendix F s.s.5(1)9 states that rules must be developed: “...to determine if a D.C. is payable in any particular case and to determine the amount of the charge, subject to the limitations set out in subsection 6.” Paragraph 10 of subsection 5(1) goes on to state that the rules may provide for exemptions, phasing in and/or indexing of D.C.s. s.s.5(6) establishes the following restrictions on the rules: 1. the total of all D.C.s that would be imposed on anticipated development must not exceed the capital costs determined under 5(1) 2-8 for all services involved; 2. if the rules expressly identify a type of development, they must not provide for it to pay D.C.s that exceed the capital costs that arise from the increase in the need for service for that type of development; however, this requirement does not relate to any particular development; 3. if the rules provide for a type of development to have a lower D.C. than is allowed, the rules for determining D.C.s may not provide for any resulting shortfall to be made up via other development; and 4. with respect to “the rules,” subsection 6 states that a D.C. by-law must expressly address the matters referred to above re s.s.5(1) para. 9 and 10, as well as how the rules apply to the redevelopment of land.

7.1

D.C. By-law Structure

It is recommended that: • •

the County impose a uniform County-wide D.C. for all municipal services herein; and one municipal D.C. by-law be used for all services.



Page 7-2

7.2

D.C. By-law Rules

The following sets out the recommended rules governing the calculation, payment and collection of D.C.s in accordance with subsection 6 of the D.C.A., 1997. It is recommended that the following provides the basis for the D.C.s:

7.2.1 Payment in any Particular Case In accordance with the D.C.A., 1997, s.2(2), a D.C. be calculated, payable and collected where the development requires one or more of the following: a) the passing of a zoning by-law or of an amendment to a zoning by-law under Section 34 of the Planning Act; b) the approval of a minor variance under Section 45 of the Planning Act; c) a conveyance of land to which a by-law passed under Section 50(7) of the Planning Act applies; d) the approval of a plan of subdivision under Section 51 of the Planning Act; e) a consent under Section 53 of the Planning Act; f) the approval of a description under Section 50 of the Condominium Act; or g) the issuing of a building permit under the Building Code Act in relation to a building or structure.

7.2.2 Determination of the Amount of the Charge The following conventions be adopted: 1) Costs allocated to residential uses will be assigned to different types of residential units based on the average occupancy for each housing type constructed during the 20-year period. Costs allocated to non-residential development will be based on the generating capacity for wind and solar energy facilities and on gross floor area constructed for all other non-residential uses. 2) Costs allocated to residential and non-residential uses are based upon a number of conventions, as may be suited to each municipal service circumstance. These are summarized in Chapter 5 herein.



Page 7-3

7.2.3 Application to Redevelopment of Land (Demolition and Conversion) If a development involves the demolition and replacement of a building or structure on the same site, or the conversion from one principal use to another, the developer shall be allowed a credit equivalent to: 1) the number of dwelling units demolished/converted multiplied by the applicable residential D.C. in place at the time the D.C. is payable; and/or 2) the gross floor area of the building demolished/converted multiplied by the current non-residential D.C. in place at the time the D.C. is payable. The credit can, in no case, exceed the amount of D.C.s that would otherwise be payable. Moreover, the applicant will need to provide evidence that the building was habitable prior to demolition to be eligible for redevelopment credits. Building permit applications received prior to March 6, 2018 will not need to provide evidence that the building was habitable prior to demolition.

7.2.4 Exemptions (full or partial) a) Statutory exemptions •

Industrial building additions of up to and including 50% of the existing gross floor area (defined in O.Reg. 82/98, s.1) of the building; for industrial building additions which exceed 50% of the existing gross floor area, only the portion of the addition in excess of 50% is subject to D.C.s (s.4(3));

•

Buildings or structures owned by and used for the purposes of any County, local board or Board of Education (s.3); and Residential development that results in only the enlargement of an existing dwelling unit, or that results only in the creation of up to two additional dwelling units (based on prescribed limits set out in s.2 of O.Reg. 82/98).

•

b) Non-statutory exemptions • •

A non-residential farm building; A place of worship;

• •

The proposed non-statutory exemption for non-residential farm buildings has been narrowed from its current application within the County’s D.C. By-Law. Under the County’s current by-law, farm buildings are defined as in the Building Code Act. For clarity in the application of this exemption, the definition of farm building will be expanded to exclude: •

retail sales activities; including but not limited to restaurants, banquet facilities, hospitality and accommodation facilities, gift shops; services related to grooming, boarding or breeding of household pets; and marijuana and alcohol processing or production facilities.

By-Law 3205-2013, as amended, includes exemptions for Park Model Trailers. In discussion with senior staff from the County, this exemption has been removed.

7.2.5 Phase in Provision(s) The phase-in of D.C.s has not been proposed.

7.2.6 Timing of Collection The D.C.s for all services are payable upon issuance of a building permit for each dwelling unit, building or structure, subject to early or late payment agreements entered into by the County and an owner under s.27 of the D.C.A., 1997.

7.2.7 Indexing All D.C.s will be subject to mandatory indexing annually on the anniversary date of he By-law in accordance with provisions under the D.C.A. The D.C.s shall be adjusted for the change in index for the most recently available annual period.



Page 7-5

7.2.8 D.C. Spatial Applicability In accordance with the D.C.A., the County gave, consideration to the imposition of D.C.s on an area-specific basis, and is maintaining its current approach of imposing uniform County-wide D.C.s for all services. Further discussion on this matter is provided in Appendix F.

7.3

Other D.C. By-law Provisions

7.3.1 Categories of Services for Reserve Fund and Credit Purposes It is recommended that the County’s D.C. collections be contributed into nine (9) separate reserve funds, including: Transportation Services, Fire Protection Services, Marinas and Boat Launches, Parks and Recreation Services, Library Services, Administration Studies, Homes for the Aged, Waste Diversion Services, and Municipal Parking Services. It is further recommended that all D.C. exemptions granted over the life of the by-law be contributed into the applicable D.C. reserve funds from non-D.C. sources.

7.3.2 By-law In-force Date The proposed by-law under D.C.A., 1997 will come into force on March 6, 2018.

7.3.3 Minimum Interest Rate Paid on Refunds and Charged for Inter-Reserve Fund Borrowing The minimum interest rate is the Bank of Canada rate on the day on which the by-law comes into force (as per s.11 of O.Reg. 82/98).

7.4

Other Recommendations

It is recommended that Council: •

“Approve the capital project listing set out in Chapter 5 of the “County of Prince Edward 2017 Development Charges Background Study” dated December 1, 2017, subject to further annual review during the capital budget process;”

•

“Approve the “County of Prince Edward 2017 Development Charges Background Study” dated December 1, 2017;"

• •

“Determine that no further public meeting is required;” and “Approve the Development Charges By-Law as set out in Appendix D”.

8. Asset Management Plan 8.1

Introduction

The recent changes to the D.C.A. (new section 10(c.2)) require that the background study must include an Asset Management Plan (A.M.P) related to new infrastructure. Section 10 (3) of the D.C.A. provides: The A.M.P. shall, (a) deal with all assets whose capital costs are proposed to be funded under the development charge by-law; (b) demonstrate that all the assets mentioned in clause (a) are financially sustainable over their full life cycle; (c) contain any other information that is prescribed; and (d) be prepared in the prescribed manner. At a broad level, the A.M.P. provides for the long-term investment in an asset over its entire useful life along with the funding. The schematic below identifies the costs for an asset through its entire lifecycle. For growth-related works, the majority of capital costs will be funded by the D.C. Non-growth related expenditures will then be funded from non-D.C. revenues as noted below. During the useful life of the asset, there will be minor maintenance costs to extend the life of the asset along with additional program related expenditures to provide the full services to the residents. At the end of the life of the asset, it will be replaced by non-D.C. financing sources.



Page 8-2

In 2012, the Province developed Building Together: Guide for Municipal Asset Management Plans which outlines the key elements for an A.M.P., as follows: State of local infrastructure: asset types, quantities, age, condition, financial accounting valuation and replacement cost valuation. Desired levels of service: defines levels of service through performance measures and discusses any external trends or issues that may affect expected levels of service or the municipality’s ability to meet them (for example, new accessibility standards, climate change impacts). Asset management strategy: the asset management strategy is the set of planned actions that will seek to generate the desired levels of service in a sustainable way, while managing risk, at the lowest lifecycle cost. Financing strategy: having a financial plan is critical for putting an A.M.P. into action. By having a strong financial plan, municipalities can also demonstrate that they have made a concerted effort to integrate the A.M.P. with financial planning and municipal budgeting, and are making full use of all available infrastructure financing tools. The above provides for the general approach to be considered by Ontario municipalities. At this time, there is not a mandated approach for municipalities hence leaving discretion to individual municipalities as to how they plan for the long-term Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.


Page 8-3 replacement of their assets. The County of Prince Edward has undertaken an A.M.P dated September 2014. However, the plan addresses only roads, bridges and culverts, and water and wastewater assets and does not include all assets categories that are included in the capital forecast needs of the D.C. Background Study. As a result, the asset management requirement for this D.C. Background Study must be undertaken in the absence of this information. In recognition to the schematic in Section 8.1, the following table (presented in 2018$) has been developed to provide the annualized expenditures and revenues associated with new growth. Note that the D.C.A. does not require an analysis of the non-D.C. capital needs or their associated operating costs so these are omitted from the table below. Furthermore, as all existing assets for the categories of assets included in the D.C. eligible capital costs are not included in the County’s A.M.P. (parks and recreation, library, etc. not included), the present infrastructure gap and associated funding plan has not been considered at this time. Hence the following does not represent a fiscal impact assessment (including future tax/rate increases) but provides insight into the potential affordability of the new assets: 1. The non-D.C. recoverable portion of the projects which will require financing from County financial resources (i.e. taxation, rates, fees, etc.). This amount has been presented on an annual debt charge amount based on 20-year financing. 2. Lifecycle costs for the 2017 D.C. capital works have been presented based on a sinking fund basis. The assets have been considered over their estimated useful lives. 3. Incremental operating costs for the D.C. services (only) have been included. 4. The resultant total annualized expenditures are $10.4 million. 5. Consideration was given to the potential new taxation and user fee revenues which will be generated as a result of new growth. These revenues will be available to finance the expenditures above. The new operating revenues are $8.4 million. This amount, totalled with the existing operating revenues of $63.7 million, provide annual revenues of $72.1 million by the end of the period. 6. In consideration of the above, the capital plan is deemed to be financially sustainable.

9. By-law Implementation 9.1

Public Consultation

This chapter addresses the mandatory, formal public consultation process (subsection 9.1.1), as well as the optional, informal consultation process (subsection 9.1.2). The latter is designed to seek the co-operation and involvement of those involved, in order to produce the most suitable policy. Section 9.2 addresses the anticipated impact of the D.C. on development, from a generic viewpoint.

9.1.1 Public Meeting of Council Section 12 of the D.C.A., 1997 indicates that before passing a D.C. by-law, Council must hold at least one public meeting, giving at least 20 clear days’ notice thereof, in accordance with the Regulation. Council must also ensure that the proposed by-law and background report are made available to the public at least two weeks prior to the (first) meeting. Any person who attends such a meeting may make representations related to the proposed by-law. If a proposed by-law is changed following such a meeting, the Council must determine whether a further meeting (under this section) is necessary. For example, if the by-law which is proposed for adoption has been changed in any respect, the Council should formally consider whether an additional public meeting is required, incorporating this determination as part of the final by-law or associated resolution. It is noted that Council’s decision, once made, is final and not subject to review by a Court or the O.M.B.

9.1.2 Other Consultation Activity There are three broad groupings of the public who are generally the most concerned with municipal D.C. policy: 1. The residential development community, consisting of land developers and builders, who are typically responsible for generating the majority of the D.C. revenues. Others, such as realtors, are directly impacted by D.C. policy. They are, therefore, potentially interested in all aspects of the charge, particularly the quantum by unit type, projects to be funded by the D.C. and the timing thereof,



Page 9-2 and municipal policy with respect to development agreements, D.C. credits and front-ending requirements. 2. The second public grouping embraces the public at large and includes taxpayer coalition groups and others interested in public policy (e.g. in encouraging a higher non-automobile modal split). 3. The third grouping is the industrial/commercial/institutional development sector, consisting of land developers and major owners or organizations with significant construction plans, such as hotels, entertainment complexes, shopping centres, offices, industrial buildings and institutions. Also involved are organizations such as Industry Associations, the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade and the Economic Development Agencies, who are all potentially interested in municipal D.C. policy. Their primary concern is frequently with the quantum of the charge, gross floor area exclusions such as basement, mechanical or indoor parking areas, or exemptions and phase-in or capping provisions in order to moderate the impact.

9.2

Anticipated Impact of the Charge on Development

The establishment of sound D.C. policy often requires the achievement of an acceptable balance between two competing realities. The first is that high nonresidential D.C.s can, to some degree, represent a barrier to increased economic activity and sustained industrial/commercial growth, particularly for capital intensive uses. Also, in many cases, increased residential D.C.s can ultimately be expected to be recovered via higher housing prices and can impact project feasibility in some cases (e.g. rental apartments). On the other hand, D.C.s or other municipal capital funding sources need to be obtained in order to help ensure that the necessary infrastructure and amenities are installed. The timely installation of such works is a key initiative in providing adequate service levels and in facilitating strong economic growth, investment and wealth generation.

9.3

Implementation Requirements

Once the County has calculated the charge, prepared the complete Background Study, carried out the public process and passed a new by-law, the emphasis shifts to implementation matters.



Page 9-3 These include notices, potential appeals and complaints, credits, front-ending agreements, subdivision agreement conditions and finally the collection of revenues and funding of projects. The following provides an overview of the requirements in each case.

9.3.1 Notice of Passage In accordance with s.13 of the D.C.A., when a D.C. by-law is passed, the municipal clerk shall give written notice of the passing and of the last day for appealing the by-law (the day that is 40 days after the day it was passed). Such notice must be given not later than 20 days after the day the by-law is passed (i.e. as of the day of newspaper publication or the mailing of the notice). Section 10 of O.Reg. 82/98 further defines the notice requirements which are summarized as follows: 1. Notice may be given by publication in a newspaper which is (in the Clerk’s opinion) of sufficient circulation to give the public reasonable notice, or by personal service, fax or mail to every owner of land in the area to which the bylaw relates; 2. s.s.10 (4) lists the persons/organizations who must be given notice; and 3. s.s.10 (5) lists the eight items which the notice must cover.

9.3.2 By-law Pamphlet In addition to the “notice” information, the County must prepare a “pamphlet” explaining each D.C. by-law in force, setting out: 4. a description of the general purpose of the D.C.s; 5. the “rules” for determining if a charge is payable in a particular case and for determining the amount of the charge; 6. the services to which the D.C.s relate; and 7. a general description of the general purpose of the Treasurer’s statement and where it may be received by the public. Where a by-law is not appealed to the O.M.B., the pamphlet must be readied within 60 days after the by-law comes into force. Later dates apply to appealed by-laws. The County must give one copy of the most recent pamphlet without charge, to any person who requests one. Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.


Page 9-4

9.3.3 Appeals Sections 13 to 19 of the D.C.A., 1997 set out requirements relative to making and processing a D.C. by-law appeal and an O.M.B. Hearing in response to an appeal. Any person or organization may appeal a D.C. by-law to the O.M.B. by filing a notice of appeal with the municipal clerk, setting out the objection to the by-law and the reasons supporting the objection. This must be done by the last day for appealing the by-law, which is 40 days after the by-law is passed.

9.3.4 Complaints A person required to pay a D.C., or his agent, may complain to Municipal Council imposing the charge that: 8. the amount of the charge was incorrectly determined; 9. the credit to be used against the D.C. was incorrectly determined; or 10. there was an error in the application of the D.C. Sections 20 to 25 of the D.C.A., 1997 set out the requirements that exist, including the fact that a complaint may not be made later than 90 days after a D.C. (or any part of it) is payable. A complainant may appeal the decision of Municipal Council to the O.M.B.

9.3.5 Credits Sections 38 to 41 of the D.C.A., 1997 set out a number of credit requirements, which apply where a County agrees to allow a person to perform work in the future that relates to a service in the D.C. by-law. These credits would be used to reduce the amount of D.C.s to be paid. The value of the credit is limited to the reasonable cost of the work which does not exceed the average level of service. The credit applies only to the service to which the work relates, unless the County agrees to expand the credit to other services for which a D.C. is payable.

9.3.6 Front-Ending Agreements The County and one or more landowners may enter into a front-ending agreement which provides for the costs of a project which will benefit an area in the County to which the D.C. by-law applies. Such an agreement can provide for the costs to be borne by one or more parties to the agreement who are, in turn, reimbursed in future by persons who develop land defined in the agreement. Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.


Page 9-5 Part III of the D.C.A., 1997 (Sections 44 to 58) addresses front-ending agreements and removes some of the obstacles to their use which were contained in the D.C.A., 1989. Accordingly, the County assesses whether this mechanism is appropriate for its use, as part of funding projects prior to municipal funds being available.

9.3.7 Severance and Subdivision Agreement Conditions Section 59 of the D.C.A., 1997 prevents a County from imposing directly or indirectly, a charge related to development or a requirement to construct a service related to development, by way of a condition or agreement under s.51 or s.53 of the Planning Act, except for: •

“local services, related to a plan of subdivision or within the area to which the plan relates, to be installed or paid for by the owner as a condition of approval under Section 51 of the Planning Act;”

•

“local services to be installed or paid for by the owner as a condition of approval under Section 53 of the Planning Act.”

It is also noted that s.s.59(4) of the D.C.A., 1997 requires that the municipal approval authority for a draft plan of subdivision under s.s.51(31) of the Planning Act, use its power to impose conditions to ensure that the first purchaser of newly subdivided land is informed of all the D.C.s related to the development, at the time the land is transferred. In this regard, if the County in question is a commenting agency, in order to comply with subsection 59(4) of the D.C.A., 1997 it would need to provide to the approval authority, information regarding the applicable municipal D.C.s related to the site. If the County is an approval authority for the purposes of Section 51 of the Planning Act, it would be responsible to ensure that it collects information from all entities which can impose a D.C. The most effective way to ensure that purchasers are aware of this condition would be to require it as a provision in a registered subdivision agreement, so that any purchaser of the property would be aware of the charges at the time the title was searched prior to closing a transaction conveying the lands.

Appendix C – Long-term Capital and Operating Cost Examination



Page C-2

Appendix C – Long-term Capital and Operating Cost Examination As a requirement of the D.C.A., 1997 under subsection 10(2)(c), an analysis must be undertaken to assess the long-term capital and operating cost impacts for the capital infrastructure projects identified within the D.C. As part of this analysis, it was deemed necessary to isolate the incremental operating expenditures directly associated with these capital projects, factor in cost savings attributable to economies of scale or cost sharing where applicable, and prorate the cost on a per unit basis (i.e. square foot of building space, per vehicle, etc.). This was undertaken through a review of the County’s 2016 Financial Information Return. In addition to the operational impacts, over time the initial capital projects will require replacement. This replacement of capital is often referred to as lifecycle cost. By definition, lifecycle costs are all the costs which are incurred during the life of a physical asset, from the time its acquisition is first considered, to the time it is taken out of service for disposal or redeployment. The method selected for lifecycle costing is the sinking fund method which provides that money will be contributed annually and invested, so that those funds will grow over time to equal the amount required for future replacement. The following factors samples of what were utilized to calculate the annual replacement cost of the capital projects (annual contribution = factor x capital asset cost) and are based on an annual growth rate of -1% (net of inflation) over the average useful life of the asset: Lifecycle Cost: Average Useful Life (Years)

5. Non-Statutory Development Charge Exemptions 5.1

Development Charges Act Requirements

The D.C.A. provides for a number of statutory D.C. exemptions, as noted below. 1. Where the only effect of the municipal approval action is to permit the enlargement of an existing dwelling unit (s.s.2(3)(a)); 2. Where the only effect of the municipal approval action is to permit the creation of up to two additional dwelling units, as prescribed (s.s.2(3)(b) and s.2 of O.Reg. 82/98); 3. Where the only effect of the municipal approval action is to permit the creation of a second dwelling unit, subject to the prescribed restrictions, in prescribed classes of proposed new residential buildings. (s.s.2(3)(c) and s.2 of O.Reg. 82/98); 4. Land owned by and used for purposes of a municipality or a school board under the Education Act, by reason only that it is exempt from taxation under the Assessment Act s.3); 5. The amount of the D.C. otherwise payable where the gross floor area of an existing industrial building is enlarged by 50% or less (s.4)3.2\ Based on legal precedents, D.C.s are generally not collectable under the D.C.A. in the case of federal, provincial, crown corporation and, in some cases, college and university development. Rules must be developed to determine if a D.C. is payable in any particular case and these rules may provide for full or partial exemptions for types of development (s.s.5(1)9 & 10). A D.C. by-law must set out an express statement indicating how, if at all, the rules provide for exemptions (s.6, para. 1). A municipality may also provide a form of partial D.C. exemption by phasing in an increased charge or by discounting the amount of the charge on particular types of development (s.s.5(1)10). The D.C.A. states that, “If the development charge by-law will exempt a type of development, phase in a development charge or otherwise provide for a type of development to have a lower development charge than is allowed, the rules for Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. Policy-Dec1.docx


Page 5-3 determining development charges may not provide for any resulting shortfall to be made up through higher development charges for other development” (s.s.5(6)3). In this regard, it is important to note that some development may pay a lower D.C. than similar development located elsewhere. This does not reflect a discount or partial exemption. It is the result of making an area-specific or service-specific calculation.

5.2

County of Prince Edward Current Practices

The County’s 2013 D.C. By-Law (as amended) includes the following non-statutory exemptions •

A non-residential farm building as defined in the Building Code Act;

2017 D.C. Background Study Recommendations

Non-statutory exemptions for farm buildings, places of worship and temporary buildings or structures, within the County’s current D.C. By-law are generally recognized in municipal D.C. by-laws across Ontario. It is proposed that all following exemptions be reviewed by Council to ensure that they are consistent with the County’s current policies. Furthermore, Council should also understand that any exemptions granted over the term of the D.C. by-law are required to be funded from non-D.C. sources. As such, there is a financial impact to the County of doing so. Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. Policy-Dec1.docx

5.3.1 Agricultural Exemptions Agricultural exemptions are widely granted. However, the specific definition of agricultural development to be exempt can vary. With regard to the definition of farm buildings within the County’s current D.C. By-law, Building Code O.Reg. 332/12 defines Farm Buildings as: Farm Building means all or part of a building, a) That does not contain any area used for residential occupancy; b) That is associated with and located on land devoted to the practice of farming; and c) that is used essentially for the housing of equipment or livestock or the production, storage or processing of agricultural and horticultural produce or feeds. For clarity in the application of this exemption, and regard for the increase in agritourism within the County, the County may wish to expand the definition of “non-residential farm buildings” to exclude certain types of uses that are generally considered commercial in nature. For example, the above definition for non-residential farm buildings could be expanded to exclude: •

retail sales activities; including but not limited to restaurants, banquet facilities, hospitality and accommodation facilities, gift shops; services related to grooming, boarding or breeding of household pets; and marijuana and alcohol processing or production facilities.

5.3.2 Places of Worship Exemptions The places of worship exemptions reflect the largely off-peak hour usage of the facilities, in order not to discourage such activities.

5.3.3 Park Model Trailer Exemptions In recent years the County has experienced strong growth in seasonal development in the form of residential trailer developments. The D.C. growth forecast, which includes seasonal residential growth, forecasts an increase of approximately 826 seasonal trailer units by 2038 (i.e. 41 units per year). Based on the calculated D.C.s per single and semi detached dwelling unit (=2 Bedrooms) Single and Semi-Detached Dwelling (=2 Bedrooms) $670,000 Single and Semi-Detached Dwelling (=
