Payment of development charges
11.(1) Development charges set out in Schedule "B" and adjusted in accordance
with Section 10 of this by-law to the date of payment, shall be payable:
(a) in regard to development charges imposed under section 5 of this by-law,
with respect to a dwelling unit in a building or structure for which a building
permit is issued, on the date that the building permit is issued; and,
(b) in regard to development charges being imposed under section 5 of this
by-law, with respect to a building or structure for which a building permit is
issued, on the date that the building permit is issued;
(c) prior to final approval of a plan of subdivision or a plan of condominium
for the land that is to be developed;
(d) prior to a certificate being issued for a consent for the land that is to
be developed; or,
(e) prior to a building permit being issued for the construction of a building
or structure on the land that is to be developed;
whichever occurs earlier.
(2) Development charges for rental housing and institutional developments are
due and payable in 6 installments commencing with the first installment
payable on the date of occupancy, and each subsequent installment, including
interest, payable on the anniversary date each year thereafter.
In the alternative to payment by the means provided in subsection 1 of this
section, the Town may, by an agreement made under section 38 of the Act with
the owner or owners of land that is to be developed, accept the provision of
services in full or partial satisfaction of development charges otherwise payable
by such owner or owners, provided that:
(a) If the Town and such owner or owners cannot agree as to the reasonable
cost of providing the services, the dispute shall be referred to the Council
of the Town and its decision shall be final and binding; and,
(b) -- if the reasonable cost of providing the services exceeds the amount of
the development charge for the service to which the work relates:
(i) the excess amount shall not be credited against the development
charge for any other service, unless the Town has so agreed in
an agreement made under section 39 of the Act; and,
(ii) in no event shall the Town be required to make a cash payment
to such owner or owners.
(4) -- Nothing in this by-law shall prevent the Council of the Town from requiring, as a
condition of any approval under the Planning Act, that the owner or owners of
land install such local services as the Council of the Town may require in
accordance with the policies of the Town with respect to local services.
(5) The Town may require the owner or owners of land that is to be developed to
enter into an agreement, including the provision of security for the obligations of
such owner or owners under the agreement pursuant to section 27 of the Act
providing for all or part of a development charge to be paid before or after it
otherwise would be payable, and the terms of such agreement shall prevail over
the provisions of this by-law.
12. The Development Charge payable for Rental Housing developments will
be reduced based on the number of bedrooms in each unit as follows:
(a) | Three or more bedrooms -- 25% reduction;
(b) | Two bedrooms -- 20% reduction
(c) Less than two bedrooms -- 15% reduction
Front-ending agreements
13.(1) Where a development charge by-law is in force, Council may enter into a front-
ending agreement with any or all owners within the benefiting area, providing for
the payment by the owner or owners of a front-end payment or for the installation
of services by the owners or any combination of front-end payments and
installation of services. The cost of the work that will benefit a defined benefiting
area is to be borne by one or more of the parties to the agreement who will be
reimbursed some part of the costs by persons who, in the future, develop land
within the benefiting area.
(2) | Aperson is entitled to be given a credit towards a development charge for the
amount of their non-reimbursable share of the costs of work under a front-ending
agreement.
(3) | Nocredit given pursuant to subsection (2) shall exceed the total development
charge payable by the owner for that service, or the level of service
underlying Schedule "B".
(4) The front-end payment required to be made by the benefiting owner under the
front-ending agreement may be adjusted annually, without amendment to this
bylaw, each October, while this by-law is in force, in accordance with the
average Bank of Canada rate applied annually.
