Subdivision, Development & Servicing Bylaw No 7900
Schedule 7 - Fees and Guidelines for Determining Servicing Requirements for Certain Developments Having a "Directly Attributable" Impact on Infrastructure
In determining which Works and Services are directly attributable, the City Engineer shall consider:
- the ability of the City’s infrastructure systems to provide service to a Subdivision or Development in accordance with the needs of the Subdivision or Development and the standards outlined in Schedule 1, and
- the impact that servicing a proposed Subdivision or Development will have on the City’s ability to maintain its existing system levels of service for future Developments in accordance with the OCP and any other infrastructure master plans.
In general, a directly attributable impact on one or more particular system will be created when any of the following arises as a result of a Subdivision, or Development via Building Permit:
- a need for increased flow or capacity of the system(s), or
- a need to upgrade the system(s) due to the inability of the system to provide adequate service because of, but not limited to, insufficient capacity, age, condition, accessibility, operational challenges, safety concerns, or other concerns regarding integration with existing services.
The need for increased flow or capacity, or for an upgrade to an existing system, as outlined in above, will generally arise, and consequently a directly attributable impact necessitating a requirement for some service upgrades or installations will be created to adequately service the Development or offset the impact to a particular service, with:
- any proposed Subdivision; or
- any Building Permit that allows for:
- construction on vacant lots (whether previously developed, or previously developed at some time but vacant for an extended period of time immediately prior to the proposed construction);
- significant usage changes;
- significant usage increases or expansions; or
- demolition of existing structure(s) and construction of new structure(s) with significant usage changes or increases or expansion.
