Development Cost Charges Bylaw

Information Session

June 26, 2019

Background

3

What are Development Cost Charges (DCCs)?

• A fair and equitable method of distributing growth-related costs to

developers

• Costs include expanding and upgrading community’s

infrastructure — water, sanitary sewer, drainage, roads, and parks — needs due to growth

• DCCs are based on projects determined by estimated growth
• ver a 10 year time horizon
• One time fee

4

Why update now? The current DCC bylaw has not changed since 1986.

• Projects addressed in the 1986 Bylaw are now

completed or obsolete

• Development not currently paying its share for

growth-related infrastructure

• New list of infrastructure projects based on

growth over the next 10 years

• Construction and land costs have risen

substantially

5

How are DCCs governed?

• Provincial Government – Local Government Act (2015)
• DCC Best Practices Guide by Ministry of Community Services
• City’s DCC Bylaw
