HARRISON HOT SPRINGS
VILLAGE OF HARRISON HOT SPRINGS
BYLAW NO. 960
A bylaw to impose Development Cost Charges
WHEREAS pursuant to Sections 933 and 934 of the Local Government Act Council
may impose terms and conditions for Development Cost Charges.
AND WHEREAS the Development Cost Charges may be imposed for the purpose of
providing funds to the Village to pay the Capital Costs of constructing, altering or
expanding sewage, water, drainage and highways and for providing and improving
parkland in order to serve, directly or indirectly the developments for which the charges
are imposed.
AND WHEREAS a Development Cost Charge is not payable if a development cost
charge has been previously paid for the same development, unless as a result of further
development, new capital cost burdens will be imposed on the Village.
AND WHEREAS in imposing the development cost charges, Council has taken into
consideration future land use patterns and development, the phasing of works and
services, the provision and improvement of parkland and whether the charges:
1. Are excessive in relation to the capital cost of prevailing standards of service in
the Village;
2. Will deter development;
3. Will discourage the construction of reasonably priced housing or the provision of
reasonably priced serviced land in the Village; or
4. Will discourage the development or redevelopment of commercial properties
which would otherwise provide employment and economic diversity and stability
in the community.
AND WHEREAS, the Village has not viewed its Development Cost Charge bylaw since
2000, and the new charges imposed by this bylaw are related to the capital costs of
projects included in the Village's 10 year financial plan.
