If a development doesn’t fall into a category in the SDC fee schedule, additional information will be required so that a case-by-case determination can be made. In addition, certain SDC categories or situations may require additional information to be submitted to calculate SDC charges, often in the form of an analysis.
Wet Use
If the use is defined as a “Wet” Industrial use, the SDC fee schedule bases the charge on gallons per day (GPD) of water use for both water and sewer SDCs. If this is the case, information indicating GPD must be provided to the City by the applicant. Staff will confirm the information submitted is accurate and then assess SDCs will be assessed. For more information click on the link for analysis below.
If transportation SDCs need to be assessed, a PM peak hour trip rate is needed so that the City can charge a per trip rate.
Irrigation
Irrigation uses that exceed ¼ acre and that are served by a meter that serves both the irrigation use and other (e.g., indoor) water uses require additional analysis. When other water uses serve buildings that are more than an incidental use (e.g., school or office buildings), the irrigation portion of the SDC will be determined based on the meter size that would be required if the irrigation space were served by a stand-alone meter. Applies to water SDCs only.
Irrigation meters 3” and above will be assessed based on an analysis of gallons per day (GDP). Information indicating GPD must be provided to the City by the applicant. Staff will confirm the information submitted is accurate and then assess SDCs will be assessed.
In addition, certain SDC categories or situations may require additional information to be submitted to calculate SDC charges, often in the form of an analysis. For a case-by-case determination contact development@bendoregon.gov.
