FACT SHEET
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
FOR PARK AND RECREATION IMPROVEMENTS
Effective Jan. 1, 2013
The Park and Recreation SDC rates, effective Jan. 1, 2013, are as follows:
Dwelling Unit Type SDC Rate
Single Family Detached $3,410
Single Family Attached $3,385
Multi-Family $3,021
Background
SDCs are one-time fees charged to new development to help pay a portion of the costs
associated with building five types of public capital facilities—transportation, water, sewer,
stormwater and parks and recreation—to meet the needs created by growth.Adequate
funding for growth-related park and recreation capital improvements is vital to maintaining
Willamalane's level of service. In Springfield, park and recreation SDCs are collected for
Willamalane by the city of Springfield at the time a building permit is issued on new residential
construction.
Legislative Authority
While SDCs have been in use in Oregon since the mid-1970s, the Oregon State Legislature
adopted the Oregon Systems Development Act (ORS 223.297-223.314) in 1989. Legislative
additions and modifications to the act were made in 1993, 1999, 2001 and 2003. The law
provides a uniform framework that all local governments must follow if they choose to collect
• and expend SDCs.
Park and Recreation SDC Methodology
On October 10, 2006, after hearing recommendations from its SDC Citizen Advisory
Committee, the Willamalane Board of Directors adopted an update to its Park and Recreation
System Development Charges Methodology and implementing Resolution No. 06-07-6. It
establishes SDC rates that reflect the growth-related impact of new residential development
on park and recreation facilities in Springfield.

Determining Park and Recreation SDCs
The following assumptions were used to develop SDC rates:
• Fees will be assessed only on new residential development.
• Costs used in developing the SDC rates reflect current costs for constructing capital
improvements.
• Fees reflect no more than the residential development's equitable share or use of the
park and recreation system.
• Credit may be given for certain improvements that either reduce a development's
impact on the park and recreation system, or provide more facilities than are needed
to serve the development.
• Rates will be adjusted annually based on changes in costs, per established guidelines.
Calculating the Park and Recreation SDC
The methodology used to update the park and recreation SDCs establishes the required
connection between the demands of growth and the SDC, by analyzing the proportionate need
of each type of park and recreation facility for use by current and future residents.
SDC-eligible projects were selected from those identified in Willamalane's 2004 Park and
Recreation Comprehensive Plan, and are included in the SDC Capacity Improvement Projects
List (Appendix A of the SDC Methodology). Projects include acquisition and development of
neighborhood parks, community parks, natural area parks, linear parks/trails and pathways,
special use parks, community recreation facilities, and swim centers, through 2022.
Park and recreation SDC rates were calculated using a series of sequential formulas which,
when completed, yield the total SDC rates for each new dwelling unit in the district.
Effective Date
The park and recreation SDC program was first implemented on Sep. 1, 1993, in Springfield,
and on Oct. 1, 1993, in Glenwood. SDC rates were revised on June 1, 1995. The October 2006
Park and Recreation System Development Charges Methodology Update and implementing
resolution adopted new SDC rates that were effective on Jan. 1, 2007.
SDC Rate Phase-In and Annual Adjustment
SDC rates were phased in over a period of five years, beginning Jan. 1, 2007, per WPRD
Resolution No. 06-07-6, Section 4(a). The SDC rates were discounted by 20 percent during the
first year (2007), 15 percent during the second year (2008), 10 percent during the third year
(2009), and 5 percent during the fourth year(2010). Beginning in the fifth year(Jan. 1, 2011)
the full amount of the SDC was charged.
On Jan. 1 of each year SDC rates shall be adjusted for inflation, per WPRD Resolution No. 06-
07-6, Section 4(g). Accordingly, on Dec. 12, 2012,the WPRD Board of Directors adopted
Resolution No. 12-13-10, adjusting park and recreation SDC rates to reflect changes in costs,
effective Jan. 1 2013. See page 1 for Willamalane's 2013 SDC rates.

balance of the new development that does not qualify for any exemption shall be subject to

park and recreation system greater than those of the present use of the property are
fully exempt.
Credits
Willamalane shall grant a credit against the park and recreation SDC, which is otherwise
assessed for a new development, for any qualified public improvements(s) constructed or
dedicated as part of that new development. Such credit shall be subject to the approval of
Willamalane, and will be granted only if specific requirements and standards are fulfilled. To
obtain an SDC credit, the applicant must specifically request, in writing, a credit prior to the
city's issuance of a building permit for the new development. (See Section 6 of Resolution 06-
07-6 for more information, or contact Willamalane.)
