1. DISTRICT OF MISSION Community Amenity Contributions and Related Community Amenity Projects Public Information Meeting October 2, 2008

2. Community amenities are generally capital facilities/improvements that are needed to service a growing population or create a more complete community, e.g. cultural/arts centers, recreational facilities, transit improvements, police buildings, parks & trails, etc.

3. Development Cost Charges (DCCs) are limited by legislation to funding basic infrastructure that is required because of growth, namely: drainage, parkland purchases, roads, sewage, and water.

4. Financial Contributions for Community Amenities Policy adopted in 1996 The Policy recognizes that residential rezoning results in new development/ growth that in turn creates a demand for new community facilities/amenities

5. Contributions were $1,000 per single family unit and $2,500 per multi-family unit up until 2007 In 2007, a contribution of $1,800 for both single and multi-family units was established The current contribution level is $1,850 for both single and multi-family units

6. Proposed developer community amenity contribution is $10,300 for each single and multi-family unit that results from residential rezoning Increase reflects the cost and scope of the proposed projects, and the sharing of costs by taxpayers and developers

7. The primary effect of developer community amenity contributions is to put downward pressure on the value of development sites, i.e. land, not increase the cost of housing * Same effect as rising DCC levies * Increase will result in lower land values * *Coriolis Consulting Corp. Report dated February 2007

8. Developers are not bound to buy land that requires rezoning; they can instead purchase sites already zoned for development * Council has an obligation to consider the fiscal impact of growth when considering a rezoning application * If a proposed project will impose unacceptable capital cost burdens on the community, Council can reasonably deny the application * *Coriolis Consulting Corp. Report dated February 2007

9. Important for the community to tell council and staff: Whether proposed community amenity projects are important? What portion should be paid for by developers versus taxpayers?

22. Preliminary funding plan based on certain assumptions Results in approximate 0.25% tax increase ($60,000 per year) from 2010 to 2020 No provision for operating costs May be possible to allocate new construction revenues as opposed to a direct tax increase One can minimize the property tax impact of large community amenity projects by planning and saving well ahead of time, and by allowing for some flexibility in terms of the timing of projects
