Committee of the Whole
Council to direct staff on proposed DCC bylaw and phased fee increases
This Committee of the Whole meeting will provide direction on whether to proceed with the proposed Development Cost Charge (DCC) Bylaw update, which has not been adjusted since 2006. Staff recommend a phased assist factor starting at 20% and decreasing to 1%, as well as delaying the Amenity Cost Charge (ACC) Bylaw. The report outlines options with financial implications including a potential 7.65% tax increase over 20 years to cover the municipal share of infrastructure costs.
- Staff recommendation to proceed with DCC Bylaw only, using a phased assist factor beginning at 20% and reducing by 10% annually to a minimum of 1%
- Current DCC rates are the lowest in the Okanagan; proposed rate of $36,000 per single-family lot discussed
- Options include delaying ACC Bylaw until market stabilizes or not proceeding at all
- Projected DCC program would collect approximately $46 million over 20 years from developers, requiring $17.9 million municipal contribution (7.65% tax rate increase)
- Engagement feedback: developers support phased increase but oppose ACC; public questionnaire showed mixed views on taxpayer subsidy
