Executive Summary
1. The report provided herein represents the Development Charges (D.C.)
Background Study for the Town of Carleton Place (Town) required by the
Development Charges Act, 1997, as amended (D.C.A.). This report has been
prepared in accordance with the methodology required under the D.C.A. The
contents include the following:
- Chapter 1 - Introduction and overview of the legislative requirements of
the D.C.A.;
- Chapter 2 - Review of the Town's present D.C. policies;
- Chapter 3 - Summary of the anticipated residential and non-residential
development for the Town;
- Chapter 4 - Approach to calculating the D.C.;

needs, identification of future capital costs to service the anticipated
development, and related deductions and allocations;
- Chapter 6 - Calculation of the D.C.s;
- Chapter 7 - D.C. policy recommendations and rules; and
- Chapter 8 - By-law implementation.
2. D.C.s provide for the recovery of growth-related capital expenditures from new
development. The D.C.A. is the statutory basis to impose these charges. The
methodology required to determine the charges is detailed in Chapter 4; a
simplified summary is provided below.
1) Identify amount, type, and location of the anticipated development;
2) Identify the increase in need for service to accommodate growth;
3) Identify capital costs to provide services to meet the needs;
4) Deduct:
- Grants, subsidies, and other contributions;
- Benefit to existing development;
- Amounts in excess of 15-year historical service calculation; and
- D.C. reserve funds (where applicable);
5) Net capital costs are then allocated between residential and non-
residential development types; and

5. Table ES-2 includes a summary of the D.C.-eligible capital costs for each eligible
service arising from the anticipated development. These capital costs are
provided in detail in Chapter 5. The D.C.A. requires that the background study
include a summary of the gross and net capital costs to be incurred over the term
of the by-law (i.e., 10 years) for existing and future development. This summary
is provided by service in Table 6-7 of the D.C. Background Study.
In total, gross capital costs of approximately $210.04 million are forecast for the
10-year by-law term. These capital costs have been identified through
discussions with Town staff. A portion of these capital costs, approximately
$28.37 million, relate to the needs of growth beyond the forecast period. These
costs are not included in the D.C. calculation, however, will be considered in
future D.C. studies. Other deductions in the determination of the D.C.-
recoverable costs include approximately $27.03 million related to the portion of
capital projects that will benefit the existing development, $83,800 related to
costs associated with services not eligible for D.C.s, and $40.76 million related to
grants, subsidies, and other contributions.
The resultant net D.C.-recoverable costs included in the calculations for capital
works anticipated over the 10-year forecast period total approximately $113.80

million, of which $97.35 million is allocated to the forecast residential
development and $16.45 million allocated to the forecast non-residential
development.

6. At present, the Town imposes D.C.s on residential and non-residential
developments in accordance with By-Law 41-2021. The Town is undertaking a
D.C. public process and anticipates passing a new D.C. by-law for the services
identified in the D.C. Background Study. The statutory mandatory public meeting
has been set for January 14, 2025, with adoption of the D.C. by-law anticipated
for February 18, 2025.
This report provides the calculations of the residential and non-residential
charges to recover the capital costs of the anticipated increase in need for
services arising from the forecast development (summarized in Schedule ES-3).

8. Chapter 7 herein, provides the D.C. by-law policy recommendations and rules
that govern the imposition of the charges. Council will consider the findings and
recommendations provided herein and, in conjunction with public input, approve
such policies and rates it deems appropriate. These directions will refine the
draft D.C. by-law, which is appended in Appendix G. These decisions may
include:
- adopting the charges and policies recommended herein;
- considering additional exemptions to the D.C. by-law; and
- considering reductions in the charges (obtained by removing certain
services or capital costs on which the charge is based and/or by a general
reduction in the charge).
The D.C.A. does not allow for D.C. revenue foregone as a result of an exemption
or reduction in the charge to be made up through higher D.C.s on other
development. As such, any decision to provide further exemptions or reductions
should consider alternative funding sources to address the foregone revenue.

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this Document
The Town of Carleton Place (Town) retained Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
(Watson), to undertake the development charges (D.C.s) background study and by-law
process in 2024. This background study has been prepared for public comment. This
background study has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Development
Charges Act, as amended 1997 (D.C.A.), and recommends new charges and by-law
policies for the Town.
This D.C. background study will be distributed to members of the public to provide them
with sufficient background information on the legislation, the study's recommendations,
and an outline of the basis for these recommendations. Watson will continue to work
with Town staff to further refine the background study (as required) based on public
feedback, before releasing the final D.C. background study prior to the Council adoption
of the by-law.
This report has been prepared, in the first instance, to meet the statutory requirements
applicable to the Town's D.C. background study, as summarized in Chapter 4. Chapter
6 contains the calculated D.C.s based on the increase in need and capital costs of
services identified in Chapter 5. It also addresses the requirement for "rules" outlining
the implementation of the charge as contained in Chapter 7. Appendix H provides the
proposed by-law to be made available to the public as part of the approval process.
The report also includes a summary of the Town's current D.C. rates and policies
(Chapter 2) to provide a comparison with those being proposed. It further addresses
post-by-law adoption implementation requirements (Chapter 8), which are critical to the
successful application of the new by-law.
The chapters in the report are supported by appendices containing the data required to
explain and substantiate the calculation of the charges.
1.2 Summary of the Process
The public meeting required under section 12 of the D.C.A., has been scheduled for
January 14, 2025. Its purpose is to present the study to the public and to solicit public
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 1-2
input. The public meeting is also being held to answer any questions regarding the
study's purpose, methodology, and the proposed D.C. by-law.
In accordance with the legislation, the background study and proposed D.C. by-law will
be available for public review on December 18, 2024.
The process to be followed in finalizing the report and recommendations includes:
- Consideration of responses received prior to, at, or immediately following the
public meeting;
- Refinements to the report, if required; and
- Council consideration of the by-law subsequent to the public meeting.
Figure 1-1 outlines the proposed schedule to be followed with respect to the D.C. by-law
adoption process.

1.3 Changes to the Development Charges Act, 1997
Over the past few years, a number of changes to the D.C.A. have been introduced
through various legislation including the following:
- Bill 109: More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022;
- Bill 23: More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022;
- Bill 97: Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023; and
- Bill 134: Affordable Homes and Good Jobs Act, 2023.
- Bill 185: Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, 2024.
The following provides an overview of the amendments to the D.C.A. that each of these
pieces of legislation provided.
1.3.1 Bill 109: More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022
On April 14, 2022, the More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022 received Royal Assent.
One of the D.C.A. amendments, and O. Reg. 438/22, prescribed additional information
to be included in the annual Treasurer's Statement on D.C. reserve funds and its
publication. The following additional information must be provided for each service for
which a D.C. is collected for during the year:
a) whether, as of the end of the year, the municipality expects to incur the amount
of capital costs that were estimated, in the relevant development charge
background study, to be incurred during the term of the applicable development
charge by-law;
b) if the answer to a) is no, the amount the municipality now expects to incur and a
statement as to why this amount is expected; and
c) if no money was spent from the reserve fund during the year, a statement as to
why there was no spending during the year.
These requirements have been further amended to require that the annual Treasurer's
Statement be made available to the public on the municipality's website, or in the
municipal office.
1.3.2 Bill 23: More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022
The More Homes Built Fast Act, 2022, received Royal Assent on November 28, 2022.
This Act amends several pieces of legislation including the Planning Act and the D.C.A.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 1-4
The following provides a summary of the amendments to the D.C.A. Some of these
changes have been further revised through subsequent amendments to the D.C.A.:
1.3.2.1 Additional Residential Unit Exemption
The rules for these exemptions are now provided in the D.C.A., rather than the
regulations and are summarized as follows:
- Exemption for residential units in existing rental residential buildings - For rental
residential buildings with four or more residential units, the greater of one unit or
1% of the existing residential units will be exempt from D.C.
- Exemption for additional residential units in existing and new residential
buildings - The following developments will be exempt from a D.C.:
o A second unit in a detached, semi-detached, or rowhouse if all buildings
and ancillary structures cumulatively contain no more than one residential
unit;
o A third unit in a detached, semi-detached, or rowhouse if no buildings or
ancillary structures contain any residential units; and
o One residential unit in a building or structure ancillary to a detached, semi-
detached, or rowhouse on a parcel of urban land, if the detached, semi-
detached, or rowhouse contains no more than two residential units and no
other buildings or ancillary structures contain any residential units.
1.3.2.2 Removal of Housing as an Eligible D.C. Service
Housing services are removed as an eligible service. Municipalities with by-laws that
include a charge for housing services can no longer collect for this service.
1.3.2.3 New Statutory Exemptions for Affordable Units, Attainable Units,
Inclusionary Zoning Units, and Non-Profit Housing developments
Affordable units, attainable units, inclusionary zoning units and non-profit housing
developments are exempt from the payment of D.C.s, as follows:
- Affordable Rental Units: Where rent is no more than 80% of the average market
rent as defined by a new bulletin published by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs
and Housing.
- Affordable Owned Units: Where the price of the unit is no more than 80% of the
average purchase price as defined by a new bulletin published by the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 1-5
- Attainable Units: Excludes affordable units and rental units; will be defined as
prescribed development or class of development and sold to a person who is at
"arm's length" from the seller.
o Note: for affordable and attainable units, the municipality shall enter into
an agreement that ensures the unit remains affordable or attainable for 25
years.
- Inclusionary Zoning Units: Affordable housing units required under inclusionary
zoning by-laws are exempt from a D.C.
- Non-Profit Housing: Non-profit housing units are exempt from D.C.s and D.C.
instalment payments due after November 28, 2022.
1.3.2.4 Historical Level of Service extended to 15-year period instead of
the historical 10-year period
Prior to Royal Assent, the increase in need for service was limited by the average
historical level of service calculated over the 10-year period preceding the preparation
of the D.C. background study. This average is now extended to the historical 15-year
period.
1.3.2.5 Revised Definition of Capital Costs
The definition of capital costs has been revised to remove studies. Furthermore, the
regulations of the Act will prescribe services for which land or an interest in land will be
restricted. As at the time of writing, no services have been prescribed.
1.3.2.6 Mandatory Phase-in of a D.C.
For all D.C. by-laws passed after January 1, 2022, the charge must be phased-in
annually over the first five years the by-law is in force, as follows:
- Year 1 - 80% of the maximum charge;
- Year 2 - 85% of the maximum charge;
- Year 3 - 90% of the maximum charge;
- Year 4 - 95% of the maximum charge; and
- Year 5 to expiry - 100% of the maximum charge.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 1-6
1.3.2.7 D.C. By-law Expiry
A D.C. by-law now expires ten years after the day it comes into force unless the by-law
provides for an earlier expiry or repeal date. This extends the by-law's life from what
used to be a maximum of five years.
1.3.2.8 Instalment Payments
Non-profit housing development has been removed from the instalment payment
section of the D.C.A. under section 26.1, as these units are now exempt from the
payment of a D.C.
1.3.2.9 Rental Housing Discount
The D.C. payable for rental housing development will be reduced based on the number
of bedrooms in each unit as follows:
- Three or more bedrooms - 25% reduction;
- Two bedrooms - 20% reduction; and
- All other bedroom quantities - 15% reduction.
1.3.2.10 Maximum Interest Rate for Instalments and Determination of
Charge for Eligible Site Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment
Applications
No maximum interest rate was previously prescribed, which allowed municipalities to
choose the interest rate to impose. As per Bill 23, the maximum interest rate is set at
the average prime rate plus 1%. This maximum interest rate provision would apply to
all instalment payments and eligible site plan and zoning by-law amendment
applications occurring after November 28, 2022.
1.3.2.11 Requirement to Allocate Funds Received
Annually, beginning in 2023, municipalities are required to spend or allocate at least
60% of the monies in a reserve fund at the beginning of the year for water services,
wastewater services, and services related to a highway. Other services may be
prescribed by regulation.

1.3.3 Bill 97: Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023
The Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023 (Bill 97) received Royal Assent
on June 8, 2023. This legislation extends the mandatory exemption from payment of
D.C.s for additional residential units in new residential buildings or in existing houses to
all lands versus just urban lands.
1.3.4 Bill 134: Affordable Homes and Good Jobs Act, 2023
The exemption for affordable residential units was included in the More Homes Built
Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23), enacted by the Province on November 28, 2022. Under this
legislation, affordable residential units were defined within subsection 4.1 of the D.C.A.
and exemptions for D.C.s were provided in respect of this definition. While the
legislation was enacted in November 2022, the ability for municipalities to implement the
exemptions required the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to publish an
"Affordable Residential Units for the Purposes of the Development Charges Act, 1997
Bulletin." This bulletin provides the average market rent, average purchase price, and
average household income thresholds to be used in determining which developments
qualify as affordable residential units. The bulletin was published by the Minister on
May 1, 2024.
Bill 134 received Royal Assent on December 4, 2023, and provides for a modification to
the affordable residential unit definition by:
- Introducing an income-based test for affordable rent and purchase price; and
- Increasing the threshold for the market test of affordable rent and purchase price.
This change provides the exemption based on the lesser of the two measures.
Moreover, the rules in subsection 4.1 of the D.C.A. are unchanged with respect to:
- The tenant and purchaser transacting the affordable unit being at arm's length;
- The intent of maintaining the affordable residential unit definition for a 25-year
period, requiring an agreement with the municipality (which may be registered on
title); and
- Exemptions for attainable residential units and associated rules (requiring further
regulations).

As noted, the bulletin, which was released on May 1, 2024, provides the information the
Town needs to determine if the exemption from D.C.s (as well as C.B.C. and Parkland
requirements) applies. The bulletin provides the following information is specific to the
Town (it is noted that the bulletin will be updated annually):
- For Affordable Ownership Units: Table 1-2 indicates that for detached house,
semi-detached house, and row/townhouse the cost of a house based on average
household income in the Town, provides the amount to be measured against as
this is less than 90% of the average purchase prices . For condominium
apartments, 90% of the average purchase price in the Town is less than the
affordable cost of a house based on average household income in the Town,
(note applicable affordable purchase price thresholds are in bold font).

- For Affordable Rental Units: The average monthly market rent for a bachelor, 1-
bedroom, and 2-bedroom unit is lower than the average rent based on the
household income in the Town and therefore, provides the amount to be
measured against (as noted in Table 1-3, where the monthly rent is lower than
the amounts indicated). For units with 3 or more bedrooms, the average rent
based on average household income in the Town provides the amount to be
measured against (note applicable thresholds are in bold font).

1.3.5 Bill 185: Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, 2024
The Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, 2024 (Bill 185), was introduced on
April 10, 2024, and received Royal Assent on June 6, 2024. This Act amends the D.C.A
as follows:
- Reintroduces studies as an eligible cost for services, including a D.C.
background study;
- Removes the mandatory phase-in of a D.C. by-law;
- Reduces the time period for the determination of a D.C. applicable to site plan
and zoning by-law amendment applications, whereby the time period between
the building permit issuance and planning application approval is reduced to 18
months from two years (note, the two-year time period still applies to applications
received and approved between January 1, 2020, and June 5, 2024);
- Permits the repeal of the date the D.C. by-law expires (allowing for the 10-year
by-law term provided in the D.C.A.);
- Allows minor D.C. by-law amendments related to the inclusion of studies,
removal of the mandatory phase-in of a D.C. by-law, and removal of expiry date
for all by-laws; and
- Permits municipalities to publish D.C. public notice on municipal websites where
newspapers of general circulation are not available.
As Bill 185 has been enacted, this D.C. Background Study includes the cost of studies,
and embraces the other amendments made to the D.C.A. as noted above, where
applicable.

PAGE 3-1
3. Anticipated Development in the Town of
Carleton Place
3.1 Requirement of the Act
The growth forecast contained in this chapter (with supplemental tables in Appendix A)
provides for the anticipated development for which the Town will be required to provide
services over a 10-year (mid-2024 to mid-2034), a 20-year (mid-2024 to mid-2044), and
a buildout time horizon (2024 to buildout).[1]
Chapter 4 provides the methodology for calculating a D.C. as per the D.C.A. Figure 4-1
presents this methodology graphically. It is noted in the first box of the schematic that in
order to determine the D.C. that may be imposed, it is a requirement of subsection 5 (1)
of the D.C.A. that "the anticipated amount, type and location of development, for which
development charges can be imposed, must be estimated."
3.2 Basis of Population, Household and Non-Residential
Gross Floor Area Forecast
The D.C. growth forecast has been derived by Watson in consultation with the Town of
Carleton Place. In preparing the growth forecast, the following information sources
were consulted to assess the residential and non-residential development potential for
the Town over the forecast period, including:
- Lanark County Growth Management Strategy (Draft), Watson & Associates
Economists Ltd. in association with W.S.P., 2024;
- Town of Carleton Place Official Plan, Adopted July 23, 2013;
- Town of Carleton Place 2020 Development Charges Study, December 7, 2020,
by Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.;
- Carleton Place Water & Wastewater Master Plan - Phase 2 Report, Final, May
30, 2022, Stantec Consulting Ltd.;
- 2011, 2016 and 2021 population, household, and employment Census data;
- Historical residential building permit data over the 2014 to 2023 period;
1 Growth forecast to buildout refers to the urban area with full services or with plans to
provide full services based on discussions with Town of Carleton Place staff.

- Residential and non-residential supply opportunities as identified by Town of
Carleton Place staff; and
- Discussions with Town staff regarding anticipated residential and non-residential
development in the Town of Carleton Place.
3.3 Summary of Growth Forecast
A detailed analysis of the residential and non-residential growth forecasts is provided in
Appendix A and the methodology employed is illustrated in Figure 3-1. The discussion
provided herein summarizes the anticipated growth for the Town and describes the
basis for the forecast. The results of the residential growth forecast analysis are
summarized in Table 3-1 below, and Schedule 1 in Appendix A.
As identified in Table 3-1 and Appendix A - Schedule 1, population in the Town of
Carleton Place (excluding census undercount) is anticipated to reach approximately
17,690 by mid-2034, 20,960 by mid-2044 and 23,640 by buildout, resulting in an
increase of approximately 3,820, 7,090, and 9,770 persons, respectively.[1]
1 The population figures used in the calculation of the 2024 D.C. exclude the net
Census undercount, which is estimated at approximately 2.5%. Population figures
presented herein have been rounded.

Provided below is a summary of the key assumptions and findings regarding the
Carleton Place's D.C. growth forecast:
- Unit Mix (Appendix A - Schedules 1, 6 and 7):
o The housing unit mix for the Town was derived from a detailed review of
historical development activity (as per Schedule 7), as well as active
residential development applications (as per Schedule 6) and discussions
with Town staff regarding anticipated development trends for the Town.
o Based on the above indicators, the 2024 to 2044 household growth
forecast for the Town is comprised of a unit mix of 42% low density units
(single detached and semi-detached), 22% medium density (multiples
except apartments) and 36% high density (bachelor, 1-bedroom and 2-
bedroom apartments).
- Planning Period:
o Short-term and longer-term time horizons are required for the D.C.
process. The D.C.A. limits the planning horizon for transit services to a
10-year planning horizon. All other services can utilize a longer planning
period if the Town has identified the growth-related capital infrastructure
needs associated with the longer-term growth planning period.
- Population in New Housing Units (Appendix A - Schedules 3, 4 and 5):
o The number of housing units to be constructed by buildout in the Town
over the forecast period is presented in Table 3-1. Over the mid-2024 to
mid-2044 forecast period, the Town is anticipated to average
approximately 162 new housing units per year.
o Institutional population[1] is anticipated to increase by approximately 300
people between mid-2024 to mid-2044.
o Population in new units is derived from Schedules 3, 4 and 5 which
incorporate historical development activity, anticipated units (see unit mix
discussion) and average persons per unit (P.P.U.) by dwelling type for
new units.
o Schedule 8a summarizes the average P.P.U. assumed for new housing
units by age and type of dwelling based on Statistics Canada 2021 custom
Census data for the Town. Due to data limitations high density P.P.U.
1 Institutional population largely includes special care facilities such as long-term home
or residences for senior citizens, group homes, hospices, etc. A P.P.U. of 1.050 depicts
1-bedroom and 2-or-more-bedroom units in these types of collective households.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 3-7
data was derived from the Lanark County Census Division which includes
the Town of Carleton Place and is outlined in Schedule 8b. The total
calculated P.P.U. for all density types has been adjusted accordingly to
account for the P.P.U. trends which have been recently experienced in
both new and older units. Forecasted 25-year average P.P.U.s by
dwelling type are as follows:
- Low density:
2.655
- Medium density:
2.304
- High density:
1.368
- Existing Units and Population Change (Appendix A - Schedules 3, 4 and 5):
o Existing households for mid-2024 are based on the 2021 Census
households, plus estimated residential units constructed between mid-
2021 to the beginning of the growth period, assuming a minimum six-
month lag between construction and occupancy (see Schedule 3).
o The change in average occupancy levels for existing housing units is
calculated in Schedules 3 through 5.[1] The forecast population change in
existing households over the mid-2024 to mid-2044 forecast period is
forecast to decline by approximately 70.
- Employment (Appendix A - Schedules 10a and 10b):
o The employment projections provided herein are largely based on the
activity rate method, which is defined as the number of jobs in the Town
divided by the number of residents. Key employment sectors include
primary, industrial, commercial/population-related, institutional, and work
at home, which are considered individually below.
o Mid-2016 employment data (place of work) for the Town is outlined in
Schedule 10a.[2], [3] The 2016 employment base is comprised of the
following sectors:
1 Statistics Canada 2021 Census place of work employment data has been reviewed.
The 2021 Census employment results have not been utilized due to a significant
increase in work at home employment captured due to Census enumeration occurring
during the provincial COVID-19 lockdown from April 1, 2021, to June 14, 2021.
2 Change in occupancy levels for existing households occurs due to aging of the
population and family life cycle changes, lower fertility rates and changing economic
conditions.
3 2016 employment is based on Statistics Canada 2016 Place of Work Employment
dataset by Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 3-8
- 15 primary (<1%);
- 320 work at home employment (7%);
- 690 industrial (16%);
- 2,240 commercial/population-related (51%); and
- 1,105 institutional (25%).
o The mid-2016 employment by usual place of work, including work at
home, is 4,370. An additional 570 employees have been identified for the
Town in mid-2016 that have no fixed place of work (N.F.P.O.W.).[1]
o Total employment, including work at home and N.F.P.O.W. for the Town is
anticipated to reach approximately 7,150 by mid-2034, 8,010 by mid-2044,
and 9,540 by buildout. This represents an employment increase of
approximately 1,240 for the 10-year forecast period, 2,090 for the 20-year
forecast period, and 3,630 for the buildout forecast period.
o Schedule 10b, Appendix A, summarizes the employment forecast,
excluding work at home employment and N.F.P.O.W. employment, which
is the basis for the D.C. employment forecast. The impact on municipal
services from work at home employees has already been included in the
population forecast. The need for municipal services related to
N.F.P.O.W. employees has largely been included in the employment
forecast by usual place of work (i.e., employment and gross floor area
(G.F.A.) generated from N.F.P.O.W. construction employment).
Furthermore, since these employees have no fixed work address, they
cannot be captured in the non-residential G.F.A. calculation. Accordingly,
work at home and N.F.P.O.W. employees have been removed from the
D.C.A. employment forecast and calculation.
o Total employment for the Town (excluding work at home and N.F.P.O.W.
employment) is anticipated to reach approximately 5,520 by mid-2034,
5,970 by mid-2044, and 7,150 by buildout. This represents an
1 No fixed place of work is defined by Statistics Canada as "persons who do not go from
home to the same workplace location at the beginning of each shift. Such persons
include building and landscape contractors, travelling salespersons, independent truck
drivers, etc."

employment increase of 820 for the 10-year forecast period, 1,270 for the
20-year forecast period, and 2,450 for the buildout forecast period.[1]
- Non-Residential Sq.ft. Estimates (G.F.A.), (Appendix A - Schedule 10b):
o Square footage estimates were calculated in Schedule 10b based on the
following employee density assumptions:
- 3,000 sq.ft. per employee for primary;
- 1,300 sq.ft. per employee for industrial;
- 450 sq.ft. per employee for commercial/population-related; and
- 680 sq.ft. per employee for institutional employment.
o The Town-wide incremental G.F.A. is anticipated to increase by
approximately 490,900 sq.ft. over the 10-year forecast period, 783,300
sq.ft. over the 20-year forecast period, and 1,332,100 sq.ft. over the
buildout forecast period.
o In terms of percentage growth, the mid-2024 to mid-2044 incremental
G.F.A. forecast by sector is broken down as follows:
- Primary - 1%
- Industrial - 40%;
- Commercial/population-related - 37%; and
- Institutional - 22%.
1 G.F.A. and employment associated within special care institutional dwellings treated
as residential, resulting in an institutional employment difference between Schedules
10a and 10b. Total employment growth in Schedule 10b (excluding work at home and
N.F.P.O.W. employment) has been downwardly adjusted to account for institutional
employment associated with special care facilities. Total employment in Schedule 10b
is anticipated to reach approximately 5,430 by mid-2034, 5,840 by mid-2044, and 6,910
by buildout.

The Approach to the
Calculation of the Charge

4. The Approach to the Calculation of the Charge
4.1 Introduction
This chapter addresses the requirements of subsection 5 (1) of the D.C.A. with respect
to the establishment of the need for service which underpins the D.C. calculation.
These requirements are illustrated schematically in Figure 4-1.
4.2 Services Potentially Involved
Table 4-1 lists the full range of municipal services that are provided within municipalities
and indicates the D.C.-eligible service components included in the D.C. background
study for the Town.
A number of these services are not included in the list of eligible services provided in
subsection 2 (4) of the D.C.A. as being ineligible for inclusion in D.C.s. These are
shown as "ineligible" on Table 4-1B (as per the legend in Table 4-1A). Two ineligible
costs defined in subsection 5 (3) of the D.C.A. are "computer equipment" and "rolling
stock with an estimated useful life of (less than) seven years." In addition, local roads
are covered separately under subdivision agreements and related means (as are other
local services). Services that are potentially eligible for inclusion in the Town's D.C. are
indicated with a "Yes."
4.3 Increase in the Need for Service
The D.C. calculation commences with an estimate of "the increase in the need for
service attributable to the anticipated development," for each service to be covered by
the by-law. There must be some form of link or attribution between the anticipated
development and the estimated increase in the need for service. While the need could
conceivably be expressed generally in terms of units of capacity, subsection 5 (1) 3,
which requires that Town Council indicate that it intends to ensure that such an increase
in need will be met, suggests that a project-specific expression of need would be most
appropriate.

Some of the need for services generated by additional development consists of local
services related to a plan of subdivision. As such, they will be required as a condition of
subdivision agreements or consent conditions. The Town's Local Service Policy is
included in Appendix E.
1 With a 7+ year useful life
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 4-6
4.5 Capital Forecast
Paragraph 7 of subsection 5 (1) of the D.C.A. requires that "the capital costs necessary
to provide the increased services must be estimated." The Act goes on to require two
potential cost reductions and the regulation sets out the way in which such costs are to
be presented. These requirements are outlined below.
These estimates involve capital costing of the increased services discussed above.
This entails costing actual projects or the provision of service units, depending on how
each service has been addressed.
The capital costs include:
a. costs to acquire land or an interest therein (including a leasehold interest);
b. costs to improve land;
c. costs to acquire, lease, construct or improve buildings and structures;
d. costs to acquire, lease or improve facilities, including rolling stock (with a useful
life of 7 or more years), furniture and equipment (other than computer
equipment), materials acquired for library circulation, reference, or information
purposes;
e. interest on money borrowed to pay for the above-referenced costs; and
f. costs to undertake studies in connection with the above-referenced matters
(include costs of the D.C. background study).
In order for an increase in need for service to be included in the D.C. calculation, Town
Council must indicate "that it intends to ensure that such an increase in need will be
met" (subsection 5 (1) 3). This can be done if the increase in service forms part of a
Council-approved Official Plan, capital forecast, or similar expression of the intention of
Council (O. Reg. 82/98 section 3). The capital program contained herein reflects the
Town's approved capital forecast, and master servicing/needs studies, along with the
prior D.C. study.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 4-7
4.6 Treatment of Credits
Section 8, paragraph 5, of O. Reg. 82/98 indicates that a D.C. background study must
set out "the estimated value of credits that are being carried forward relating to the
service." Subsection 17, paragraph 4, of the same regulation indicates that, "...the
value of the credit cannot be recovered from future D.C.s," if the credit pertains to an
ineligible service. This implies that a credit for eligible services can be recovered from
future D.C.s. As a result, this provision should be made in the calculation, in order to
avoid a funding shortfall with respect to future service needs.
Currently, there are no outstanding credits to be included in the D.C. calculations.
4.7 Class of Services
Section 7 of the D.C.A. states that a D.C. by-law may provide for any D.C.-eligible
service or the capital costs with respect to those services. Furthermore, a class may be
composed of any number or combination of services and may include parts or portions
of each D.C.-eligible services. With respect to growth-related studies, section 7(3) of
the D.C.A. states that:
"For greater certainty, a development charge by-law may provide for a
class consisting of studies in respect of any service listed in subsection 2
(4) whose capital costs are described in paragraphs 5 and 6 of subsection
5 (3)."
These provisions allow for services to be grouped together to create a class for the
purposes of the D.C. by-law and D.C. reserve funds. As of June 6, 2024, Bill 185 has
received Royal Assent, thereby the growth-related studies have been provided as a
class of services for purposes of calculating the D.C.s.
4.8 Existing Reserve Funds
Section 35 of the D.C.A. states that:
"The money in a reserve fund established for a service may be spent only
for capital costs determined under paragraphs 2 to 7 of subsection 5 (1)."
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 4-8
There is no explicit requirement under the D.C.A. calculation method set out in s. 5 (1)
to net the outstanding reserve fund balance as part of making the D.C. calculation;
however, section 35 does restrict the way in which the funds are used in future.
For services that are subject to a per-capita-based, service level "cap," the reserve fund
balance should be applied against the development-related costs for which the charge
was imposed once the project is constructed (i.e., the needs of recent growth). This
cost component is distinct from the development-related costs for the next 10-year
period, which underlie the D.C. calculation herein.
The alternative would involve the Town spending all reserve fund monies prior to
renewing each by-law, which would not be a sound basis for capital budgeting. Thus,
the Town will use these reserve funds for the Town's cost share of applicable
development-related projects, which are required but have not yet been undertaken, as
a way of directing the funds to the benefit of the development which contributed them
(rather than to future development, which will generate the need for additional facilities
directly proportionate to future growth).
The Town's D.C. reserve fund balance, by service, as of December 31, 2023, is
provided in Table 4-2. These balances have been considered in the D.C. calculations:

4.9 Deductions
The D.C.A. potentially requires that four deductions be made to the increase in the need
for service. These relate to:
- the historical level of service ceiling;
- uncommitted excess capacity;
- benefit to existing development; and
- anticipated grants, subsidies, and other contributions.
The requirements behind each of these reductions are addressed below.
4.9.1 Reduction Require by Historical Level of Service Ceiling
This is designed to ensure that the increase in need included in section 4.3 does "not
include an increase that would result in the level of service [for the additional
development increment] exceeding the average historical level of the service provided
in the municipality over the 15-year period immediately preceding the preparation of the
background study" (D.C.A., subsection 5 (1) 4). O. Reg. 82/98 (section 4) goes further
to indicate that "both the quantity and quality of a service shall be taken into account in
determining the level of service and the average level of service."
In many cases, this can be done by establishing a quantity measure in terms of units as
floor area, land area, or road length per capita and a quality measure, in terms of the
average cost of providing such units based on replacement costs, engineering
standards, or recognized performance measurement systems, depending on
circumstances. When the quantity and quality factors are multiplied together, they
produce a measure of the level of service which meets the requirements of the Act, i.e.,
cost per unit.
The average historical service level calculation sheets for each service component in
the D.C. calculation are set out in Appendix B.
4.9.2 Reduction for Uncommitted Excess Capacity
Paragraph 5 of subsection 5 (1) requires a deduction from the increase in the need for
service attributable to the anticipated development that can be met using the Town's
"excess capacity," other than excess capacity which is "committed."
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 4-10
"Excess capacity" is undefined, but in this case must be able to meet some or all of the
increase in need for service, in order to potentially represent a deduction. The
deduction of uncommitted excess capacity from the future increase in the need for
service would normally occur as part of the conceptual planning and feasibility work
associated with justifying and sizing new facilities, (e.g., if a road widening to
accommodate increased traffic is not required because sufficient excess capacity is
already available, then widening would not be included as an increase in need, in the
first instance).
4.9.3 Reduction for Benefit to Existing Development
Section 5 (1) 6 of the D.C.A. provides that, "The increase in the need for service must
be reduced by the extent to which an increase in service to meet the increased need
would benefit existing development." The general guidelines used to consider benefit to
existing development included:
- the repair or unexpanded replacement of existing assets that are in need of
repair;
- an increase in average service level of quantity or quality;
- the elimination of a chronic servicing problem not created by growth; and
- providing services where none previously existed (generally considered for water
or wastewater services).
This step involves a further reduction in the need by the extent to which such an
increase in service would benefit existing development. The level of service cap in
section 4.9.1 is related but is not the identical requirement. Sanitary, storm, and water
trunks are highly localized to growth areas and can be more readily allocated in this
regard than other services such as services related to a highway, which do not have a
fixed service area.
Where existing development has an adequate service level which will not be tangibly
increased by an increase in service, no benefit would appear to be involved. For
example, where expanding existing library facilities simply replicates what existing
residents are receiving, they receive limited (or no) benefit as a result. On the other
hand, where a clear existing service problem is to be remedied, a deduction should be
made accordingly.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 4-11
In the case of services such as recreation facilities, community parks, libraries, etc., the
service is typically provided on a Town-wide system basis. For example, facilities of the
same type may provide different services (i.e., leisure pool vs. competitive pool),
different programs (i.e., hockey vs. figure skating), and different time availability for the
same service (i.e., leisure skating available on Wednesdays in one arena and
Thursdays in another). As a result, residents will travel to different facilities to access
the services they want at the times they wish to use them, and facility location generally
does not correlate directly with residence location. Even where it does, displacing users
from an existing facility to a new facility frees up capacity for use by others and
generally results in only a limited benefit to existing development. Furthermore, where
an increase in demand is not met for a number of years, a negative service impact on
existing development is involved for a portion of the planning period.
4.9.4 Reduction for Anticipated Grants, Subsidies, and Other
Contributions
This step involves reducing the capital costs necessary to provide the increased
services by capital grants, subsidies, and other contributions (including direct developer
contributions required due to the local service policy) made or anticipated by Council
and in accordance with various rules such as the attribution between the share related
to new vs. existing development. That is, some grants and contributions may not
specifically be applicable to growth or where Council targets fundraising as a measure
to offset impacts on taxes (O. Reg. 82/98, section 6).
4.10 Town-Wide vs. Area-Specific
This step involves determining whether all the subject costs are to be recovered on a
uniform municipal-wide basis or whether some or all are to be recovered on an area-
specific basis. Under the amended D.C.A., it is now mandatory to "consider" area-rating
of services (providing charges for specific areas and services); however, it is not
mandatory to implement area rating.
At present, the Town's by-law provides for water and wastewater services in the
municipal serviced area only. All other Town services are recovered based on a
uniform, Town-wide basis.

4.11 Allocation by Type of Development
This step involves relating the costs involved to anticipated development for each period
under consideration and using allocations between residential and non-residential
development and between one type of development and another, to arrive at a schedule
of charges.
4.12 Asset Management
The legislation requires that a D.C. background study must include an asset
management plan (subsection 10 (2) c.2). The asset management plan (A.M.P.) must
deal with all assets that are proposed to be funded, in whole or in part, by D.C.s. The
current regulations provide very extensive and specific requirements for the A.M.P.
related to transit services; however, they are silent with respect to how the A.M.P. is to
be provided for all other services. As part of any A.M.P., the examination should be
consistent with the municipality's existing assumptions, approaches, and policies on
asset management planning. This examination has been included in Appendix F.

5. Development Charge Eligible Cost Analysis by
Service and Class of Service
5.1 Introduction
This chapter outlines the basis for calculating eligible costs for the D.C.s to be applied
on a uniform basis for the defined service areas. In each case, the required calculation
process set out in subsection 5 (1) paragraphs 2 to 7 in the D.C.A., and described in
Chapter 4, was followed in determining D.C.-eligible costs.
The service component is evaluated on two format sheets:
- The service standards that provide the average historical 15-year level of service
calculation (see Appendix B), which "caps" the D.C. amounts; and
- The infrastructure cost calculation, which determines the potential D.C.-
recoverable cost.
The nature of the capital projects and timing identified in the Chapter reflect Council's
current intention. Over time, however, Town projects and Council priorities may
change; accordingly, Council's intentions may be altered, and different capital projects
(and timing) may be necessary to meet the need for services required by new growth.
5.2 Service Levels and 10-Year Capital Costs for Town-wide
Development Charge Services and Class of Services
Calculation
This section evaluates the development-related capital requirements for Town services
under a 10-year planning period.
5.2.1 Parks and Recreation Services
The Town owns and maintains a variety of assets to provide parks and recreation
services to the community. These assets include 90 acres of developed parkland, 384
parkland amenities such as ball diamonds fields, playgrounds, dog parks, trail site
amenities, gazebos, and approximately 11.2 kilometres (km) of trails throughout the
Town. Additionally, the Town operates multiple indoor recreation facilities providing a
total of 148,024 sq.ft. of space. The Town utilizes 29 vehicles and pieces of equipment
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 5-2
to maintain its parks and recreation services and assets. The total inventory of assets
related to parks and recreation services over the past 15 years results in an invested
level of service of $9,585 per capita. When applied to the 10-year forecast population, a
maximum D.C.-eligible cost of approximately $36.62 million is applicable.
The 10-year capital needs for parks and recreation services, to accommodate growth,
have a total gross capital cost of approximately $30.41 million, as identified in Table 5-1.
These capital needs include additional equipment storage, a provision for additional
indoor recreation space, a community centre, furnishings for recreation facilities, parks,
trails, sports fields, vehicles, and equipment. Additionally, growth-related debt
repayments for the Beckwith Recreation Complex have been included in the calculation
of the charge. Deductions of approximately $1.65 million and $90,000 have been
applied to reflect the benefit to existing development and external grants/contributions
attributable to new development, respectively. Furthermore, a deduction related to the
benefit to growth beyond the 10-year forecast period, totaling approximately $8.26
million, has been made. After deducting the existing reserve fund balance of
approximately $2.39 million, the resulting net growth-related capital costs for inclusion in
the calculation of the D.C. totals $18.01 million.
As the predominant users of parks and recreation services tend to be residents of the
Town, the forecast D.C.-recoverable costs have been allocated 95% to future residential
development and 5% to future non-residential development. Therefore, approximately
$17.11 million, and $900,700 has been allocated to residential and non-residential
developments, respectively.
5.2.2 Library Services
Library services are provided by the Town through 9,257 sq.ft. of facility space and
approximately 165,000 library collection material items. Based on the level of
investment, the average level of service provided over the past 15 years is $898 per
capita. In total, the maximum D.C.-eligible amount for library services over the 10-year
forecast period is $3.43 million.
Table 5-2 provides the capital program for library services for the 10-year forecast
period. The capital program includes the expansion of the library and associated
furniture, fixtures, equipment, and collection materials. The total gross capital cost
estimate for the program is approximately $2.89 million. A deduction of $25,900 has
been made to recognize the benefits to the existing community. Additionally, a
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 5-3
deduction of $969,000 has been made to recognize the benefits to growth beyond the
10-year forecast period. After deducting the existing balance in the D.C. reserve fund
($55,200), the resulting total D.C.-recoverable cost of $1.84 million has been included in
the calculation of the charge.
Similar to parks and recreation services, the forecast D.C.-recoverable costs have been
allocated 95% (approximately $1.75 million) to residential development and 5%
(approximately $91,900) to non-residential development.
5.2.3 Provincial Offences Act including By-law Enforcement Services
The Town provides 1,322 sq.ft. of facility space for by-law enforcement services. In
addition, the Town utilizes seven vehicles and equipment items to provide by-law
enforcement services. As such, the Town's level of service over the past 15 years
equates to $55 per capita. When applied to the 10-year forecast population, a
maximum D.C.-eligible cost of approximately $209,100 can be included in the D.C.
calculation.
Table 5-3 provides the capital program related to Provincial Offences Act including by-
law enforcement services. The capital program includes additional facility space, a
provision for an additional vehicle, and additional equipment to expand by-law
enforcement services to the anticipated growth within the Town. The gross capital costs
for the program total approximately $1.10 million. A deduction related to benefit to
growth beyond the forecast period totaling $685,000 has been made. Additionally,
$201,300 has been deducted to recognize the costs that will benefit the existing
development. As a result, $209,000 in net D.C.-recoverable costs have been included
in the calculation of the charge.
These costs have been allocated $175,500 (84%) to residential development and
$33,400 (16%).to non-residential development based on the relationship between
incremental population and employment growth anticipated over the 10-year forecast
period.
5.2.4 Child Care and Early Years Programs Services
The Town currently utilizes 46,614 sq.ft. of facility space and seven items of equipment
to provide child care and early years program services. This translates to a 15-year
historical average level of service of approximately $1,864 per capita. When applied to
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 5-4
the 10-year forecast population, this historical level of investment provides for a
maximum D.C.-eligible cost of approximately $7.12 million.
Based on discussions with staff, the Town will require funds for additional child care
spaces and associated furnishings, as presented in Table 5-4. The gross capital cost
estimates for the capital program total approximately $5.04 million. A deduction of
$3.13 million has been made to recognize the costs that will benefit the existing
community. After incorporating the $655,900 existing deficit balance in the D.C. reserve
fund, $1.91 million in net D.C.-recoverable costs have been included in the calculation
of the charge.
As the predominant users of child care services tend to be residents of the Town, the
forecast growth-related costs have been allocated 100% to residential and 0% to non-
residential.
5.2.5 Waste Diversion Services
The Town provides waste diversion services to its community through 880 sq.ft. of
eligible facility space. This inventory of assets results in a 15-year average historical
level of service of $26 per capita. In total, the maximum D.C. eligible amount that could
be included in the calculation of the charge over the 10-year forecast period is
$100,200.
Table 5-5 provides the capital program related to waste diversion services. It consists
of a provision to expand the hazardous waste facility with a gross capital cost estimate
of $500,000. $239,000 has been deducted to recognize the benefit to existing
development. Additionally, $161,500 has been deducted to account for the benefit to
growth beyond the forecast period, resulting in net D.C.-recoverable costs of $99,500,
which have been included in the calculation of the charge.
The net D.C.-recoverable costs have been allocated $83,600 (84%) to residential and
$15,900 (16%) to non-residential development based on forecast incremental
population and employment growth over the 10-year period.
5.2.6 Growth-Related Studies (Class of Service)
Section 7 of the D.C.A. states that a D.C. by-law may provide for any D.C. eligible
service or the capital costs with respect to those services. Further, a class may be
composed of any number or combination of services and may include parts or portions
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 5-5
of each D.C. eligible services. With respect to growth-related studies, section 7 (3) of
the D.C.A. states that:
"For greater certainty, a development charge by-law may provide for a
class consisting of studies in respect of any service listed in subsection 2
(4) whose capital costs are described in paragraphs 5 and 6 of subsection
5 (3)".
These provisions allow for services to be grouped together to create a class for the
purposes of the D.C. by-law and D.C. reserve funds. The D.C. calculations and draft
by-law provided herein include a class for growth-related studies. This class comprises
the following municipal-wide services:
- Services Related to a Highway;
- Fire Protection Services;
- Policing Services;
- Transit Services;
- Parks and Recreation Services;
- Library Services;
- Provincial Offences Act including By-law Enforcement;
- Child Care and Early Years Programs Services;
- Waste Diversion Services;
- Wastewater Services; and
- Water Services.
The following provides a list of the studies that have been identified for the 10-year
forecast period:
- Development Permit and Zoning By-law;
- Development Charges Study;
- Official Plan Amendment;
- Development Permit By-law Update;
- Secondary Plan for Future Dev. Lands - Highway 7/Franktown Road;
- Secondary Plan for Future Dev. Lands - Cavanagh Road;
- Secondary Plan for Future Dev. Lands Townline Road;
- Comprehensive Review and boundary Expansion;
- Interim Control By-law;
- Community Improvement Plan Update;

- Centennial Park Study;
- Parks and Recreation Master Plan;
- Recreation Facility Concept Plan;
- Library Review Plan for growth;
- Facilities Plan;
- Library Strategic Plan; and
- Water and Wastewater Master Plan.
The list of growth-related studies, as provided in Table 5-6, and the existing deficit
balance in the D.C. reserve fund have an estimated gross capital cost of approximately
$1.99 million. For planning related studies, a deduction of 10% of the growth-related
costs has been applied to recognize the extent to which the studies relate to non-D.C.-
eligible services. The deduction for non-D.C. eligible services totals $83,800.
Additionally, $448,300 has been deducted to recognize the benefit to existing
development. As a result, $1.46 million in net D.C. recoverable costs has been included
in the calculation of the charge.
Planning related studies and future D.C. background studies have been allocated to the
services in the following manner:
- Services Related to a Highway - 10.88%
- Fire Protection Services - 3.46%
- Policing Services - 3.58%
- Parks and Recreation Services - 16.96%
- Library Services -1.73%
- Provincial Offences Act including By-law Enforcement - 0.20%
- Child Care and Early Years Programs Services - 1.79%
- Waste Diversion Services - 0.09%

5.3 Service Levels and 20-Year Capital Costs for Town-wide
D.C. Services Calculation
This section evaluates the development-related capital requirements for services over
the mid-2024 to mid-2044 planning period.
5.3.1 Services Related to a Highway
The Town has a current inventory of 21 kilometres of arterial/collector roads (including
sidewalks), 10 km of active transportation trails, five bridges and major culverts, and
672 traffic signals and streetlights. Additionally, the Town's public works department
utilizes 14,250 sq.ft. of facility space and operates 34 vehicle/equipment items. The
total inventory of assets over the past 15 years results in an invested level of service of
$6,692 per capita. When applied to the 20-year forecast population, a maximum D.C.-
eligible cost of approximately $47.47 million is applicable.
Table 5-8 provides the capital program for services related to a highway. The capital
needs include various road and bridge projects, additional vehicles, and facility space
required to service growth over the forecast period. The total gross capital cost of the
program is approximately $35.0 million. A deduction of approximately $5.76 million has

been applied to recognize the benefit to the existing development. Further deductions
of $163,500 for grants and other contributions, and approximately $1.95 million for the
existing reserve fund balance, have been made. As a result, the total D.C.-recoverable
cost of approximately $27.13 million has been included in the calculation of the charge.
Approximately $23.03 million (86%) has been allocated to residential development, and
$4.10 million (16%) to non-residential development, based on the incremental growth
anticipated in population and employment over the 20-year forecast period.
5.3.2 Fire Protection Services
The Town currently has one fire station that is a shared facility with the Ontario
Provincial Police and By-law Enforcement services, and which provides a total of
10,640 sq.ft. of fire station floor space. The fire department also has a current inventory
of nine vehicles and provides 28 sets of equipment for firefighter outfitting. The total
inventory of assets over the past 15 years results in a 15-year average historical level of
service of $1,601 per capita. When applied to the 20-year forecast population, this
provides a maximum D.C.-eligible cost of approximately $11.36 million.
The 20-year capital program for fire protection services is provided in Table 5-7. The
capital program includes a training centre, additional fire station space, additional
vehicles, and firefighter equipment. The total gross capital cost estimate for the capital
program is approximately $10.50 million. After deducting $3.94 million to recognize the
benefit to existing development and $135,500 to account for the existing reserve fund
balance, the net D.C.-recoverable costs are $6.42 million and have been included in the
calculation of the charge.
The D.C.-recoverable costs have been allocated 86% ($5.52 million) to residential
development and 14% ($898,500) to non-residential development. This allocation is
based on the incremental population and employment growth over the forecast period.
5.3.3 Policing Services
The Town utilizes 6,319 sq.ft. of facility space, located in shared facility with the Fire
Protection and By-law Enforcement services, to provide policing services. Additionally,
five vehicles and 13 sets of equipment for police officers outfitting are utilized in the
provision of these services. The asset inventory provides a historical average level of
service of $592 per capita, which produces a maximum D.C.-eligible amount that can be
included in the charge of $4.20 million.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 5-16
The anticipated capital needs related to policing services for the forecast period have
been determined through discussions with Town staff and are presented in Table 5-10.
The total capital program is approximately $15.79 million and includes facility relocation
and expansion, additional outfitting equipment, and vehicles. Approximately $5.27
million has been deducted to account for growth-related capital beyond the 20-year
planning horizon. A further deduction of approximately $6.32 million has been made for
the benefit to existing development. As a result of these deductions, the D.C.-
recoverable costs are approximately $4.16 million and have been included in the
calculation of the charge.
The D.C.-recoverable costs have allocated approximately $3.61 million (86%) to
residential and $587,400 (14%) to non-residential development based on forecast
incremental population and employment growth over the 20-year period.

5.4 System Buildout Capital Costs for Municipally Serviced
Urban Area D.C. Calculation
This D.C. background study provides for the application of wastewater and water
charges within the municipally serviced urban areas. The anticipated development-
related capital requirements for these services have been considered over the forecast
period to system buildout, which was calculated based on the forecast to urban buildout
detailed in Chapter 3.
5.4.1 Water Services
The water program, identified in Table 5-11, includes water treatment capacity
expansion, additional water storage, watermain extensions, additions to the distribution
system, and a pick-up truck. The anticipated capital needs have been determined
through the Water and Wastewater Master Plan and discussions with Town staff. The
gross capital cost estimates for the capital program total approximately $48.33 million.
$3.85 million has been deducted in recognition of the benefits to existing development.
Further deductions of approximately $4.63 million to account for landowners'
contributions due to local service requirements, and approximately $4.52 million in
recognition of the benefit to growth beyond the planning horizon. After deducting the
existing D.C. reserve fund balance of $1.17 million, approximately $34.16 million in
capital needs have been included in the D.C. calculation.
The growth-related costs have been allocated 82% (approximately $28.01 million) to
residential and 18% (approximately $6.15 million) to non-residential development based
on population-to-employment growth over the forecast period.
5.4.2 Wastewater Services
The capital program for wastewater services, identified in Table 5-12, includes
wastewater treatment capacity expansion, a pumping station, sanitary extension, and
sewer upsizing. The anticipated capital needs have been determined through the Water
and Wastewater Master Plan and discussions with Town staff. The gross capital cost
estimates for the capital program total approximately $84.03 million. Of that,
approximately $6.78 million has been deducted in recognition of the benefits to existing
development. A further deduction of approximately $35.88 million has been made to
account for landowners' contributions due to local service requirements and a grant

from the Province of Ontario. Additionally, deductions of approximately $8.50 million
and $1.34 million have been made to recognize the benefit to growth beyond the
planning horizon and to account for the existing D.C. reserve fund balance, respectively.
As a result, approximately $31.64 million in D.C.-recoverable costs have been included
in the calculation of the charge.
Similar to water services, the growth-related costs have been allocated 82%
(approximately $25.94 million) to residential and 18% (approximately $5.69 million) non-
residential development based on population-to-employment growth over the forecast
period.

PAGE 6-1
6. Development Charge Calculation
The calculation of the maximum D.C.s that could be imposed by Council has been
undertaken using a cash-flow approach for the growth-related capital costs identified in
Chapter 5. Tables 6-1 presents the calculation of the D.C.s to be imposed for water and
wastewater services in the municipally serviced area over the buildout forecast period.
Table 6-2 presents the calculation of the D.C.s for Town-wide services over a 20-year
planning horizon. Table 6-3 provides the calculation of the proposed uniform D.C.s to
be imposed on anticipated development on a Town-wide basis for services and class of
services over a 10-year planning horizon.
The calculation for residential development is generated on a per capita basis and is
based upon five housing types (singles and semi-detached, other multiples, apartments
2+ bedrooms, apartments bachelor and 1-bedroom, and special care units). The non-
residential D.C.s have been calculated on a per sq.ft. of gross floor area basis for all
types of non-residential development (industrial, commercial, and institutional).
The D.C.-eligible costs for each service component were developed in Chapter 5 for all
Town services, based on their proposed capital programs.
The cash-flow calculations of the maximum D.C.s that could be imposed by Council
have been undertaken to account for the timing of revenues and expenditures and the
resultant financing needs. The cash-flow calculations have been undertaken for each
forecast development type (i.e. residential, and non-residential) for all services. D.C.
cash flow calculation tables are provided in Appendix G and have been undertaken to
account for 3.0% earnings on D.C. reserve fund balances and 4.5% interest charged for
reserve fund borrowing.
For the residential calculations, the total cost is divided by the "gross" (new resident)
population to determine the per capita amount. The residential D.C.-recoverable capital
cost calculations set out in Chapter 5 are based on the net anticipated population
increase (the forecast new unit population less the anticipated decline in existing units).
The cost per capita is then multiplied by the average occupancy of the new units
(Appendix A, Schedule 8a) to calculate the charges in Tables 6-1 to 6-3.
Table 6-4 provides the schedule of charges that is applicable for all services by type of
development.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 6-2
Tables 6-5 and 6-6 provide a comparison of the D.C.s currently imposed in the Town
and the charges proposed herein (Table 6-4). These comparisons are provided for a
single detached residential house and non-residential development, on a per sq.ft. of
G.F.A., respectively. The calculated charges for new development within the urban
serviced area of the Town are $43,980 for a single detached residential house,
representing an increase of $27,306 over the current charges. The calculated non-
residential D.C.s for new development within the urban serviced area are $20.25 per
sq.ft. of G.F.A. representing an increase of $12.26 compared to the Town's current
charges.
Table 6-7 summarizes the gross capital expenditures and sources of revenue for works
to be undertaken during the 10-year life of the by-law.

7. Development Charge Policy Recommendations
and By-law Rules
7.1 Introduction
This chapter outlines the D.C. policy recommendations and by-law rules.
Subsection 5 (1) 9 of the D.C.A. states that rules must be developed:
"to determine if a development charge is payable in any particular case
and to determine the amount of the charge, subject to the limitations set
out in subsection 6."
Paragraph 10 of the section goes on to state that the rules may provide for exemptions,
phasing in and/or indexing of D.C.s.
Subsection 5 (6) establishes the following restrictions on the rules:
- the total of all D.C.s that would be imposed on anticipated development must not
exceed the capital costs determined under subsection 5 (1) 2-7 for all services
involved;
- if the rules expressly identify a type of development, they must not provide for it
to pay D.C.s that exceed the capital costs that arise from the increase in the
need for service for that type of development; however, this requirement does not
relate to any particular development; and
- if the rules provide for a type of development to have a lower D.C. than is
allowed, the rules for determining D.C.s may not provide for any resulting
shortfall to be made up via other development.
With respect to "the rules," section 6 states that a D.C. by-law must expressly address
the matters referred to above re subsection 5 (1) paragraphs 9 and 10, as well as how
the rules apply to the redevelopment of land.
The rules provided give consideration for the recent amendments to the D.C.A. as
summarized in Chapter 1. These policies, however, are provided for Council's
consideration and may be refined prior to adoption of the by-law.

PAGE 7-2
7.2 Development Charge By-law Structure
It is recommended that:
- The Town uses a uniform Town-wide D.C. calculation for all municipal services,
except water and wastewater services;
- The Town uses area-specific D.C. calculations for water and wastewater services
in the urban serviced areas of the Town;
- The Town uses a uniform Town-wide D.C. calculation for the growth-related
studies class of service; and
- One municipal D.C. by-law be used for all services and class of services.
7.3 Development Charge By-law Rules
The following sets out the recommended rules governing the calculation, payment, and
collection of D.C.s in accordance with subsection 6 of the D.C.A.
It is recommended that the following provides the basis for the D.C.s:
7.3.1 Payment in any Particular Case
In accordance with the D.C.A., subsection 2 (2), a D.C. be calculated, payable and
collected where the development requires one or more of the following:
(a) the passing of a zoning by-law or of an amendment to a zoning by-law under
section 34 of the Planning Act;
(b) the approval of a minor variance under section 45 of the Planning Act;
(c) a conveyance of land to which a by-law passed under subsection 50 (7) of the
Planning Act applies;
(d) the approval of a plan of subdivision under section 51 of the Planning Act;
(e) a consent under section 53 of the Planning Act;
(f)
the approval of a description under section 9 of the Condominium Act, 1998; or
(g) the issuing of a permit under the Building Code Act, 1992 in relation to a
building or structure.

PAGE 7-3
7.3.2 Determination of the Amount of the Charge
The following conventions should be adopted:
1. Costs allocated to residential uses will be assigned to different types of
residential units based on the average occupancy for each housing type
constructed during the previous 25 years. Costs allocated to non-residential
uses will be assigned based on the number of square feet of G.F.A. constructed
for eligible uses (i.e., industrial, commercial, and institutional).
2. Costs allocated to residential and non-residential uses are based upon a number
of conventions, as may be suited to each municipal circumstance, as follows:
- For services related to a highway, fire protection services, and policing
services, an 86% residential/14% non-residential attribution has been
made based on a population vs. employment growth ratio over the 20-year
forecast period;
- For parks and recreation and library services, attributions for residential
and non-residential splits have been determined based on an allocation of
95% to residential development and 5% to non-residential development as
the predominant users of parks and recreation and library services tend to
be residents of the Town;
- For child care and early years programs services, 100% residential
attribution has been made as residents are the predominant users of the
service;
- For P.O.A., including by-law enforcement services and waste diversion
services, an 84% residential and 16% non-residential attribution has been
made based on based on the relationship between incremental population
and employment growth anticipated over the Town-wide 10-Year forecast
period;
- For water and wastewater services, an 82%/18% residential/non-
residential attribution has been made. This is based on a population vs.
employment growth ratio over the buildout forecast period.
- For the growth-related studies class of services, the costs related to each
service have been allocated to residential and non-residential
development on the same basis as the capital costs for the service.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 7-4
These allocations result in an overall share between residential and non-
residential development for growth-related studies of 88%/12%.
7.3.3 Application to Redevelopment of Land (Demolition and
Conversion)
If a development involves the demolition and replacement of a building or structure on
the same site, or the conversion from one principal use to another, the developer shall
be allowed a credit equivalent to:
- the number of dwelling units demolished/converted multiplied by the applicable
residential development charge in place at the time the development charge is
payable; and/or
- the gross floor area of the building demolished/converted multiplied by the
current non-residential development charge in place at the time the development
charge is payable.
The demolition credit is allowed only if the demolition permit related to the site was
issued less five (5) years prior to the issuance of a building permit. The credit can, in no
case, exceed the amount of development charges that would otherwise be payable.
7.3.4 Exemptions
Statutory exemptions include the following:
- Partial exemption for industrial building additions of up to and including 50% of
the existing G.F.A. (defined in O. Reg. 82/98, section 1) of the building; for
industrial building additions that exceed 50% of the existing G.F.A., only the
portion of the addition in excess of 50%, is subject to D.C.s (subsection 4 (3) of
the D.C.A.).
- Full exemption for buildings or structures owned by and used for the purposes of
any municipality, local board, or Board of Education.
- Full exemption for the enlargement of an existing residential dwelling unit in
accordance with section 2(3) of the D.C.A.
- Full exemption for the creation of the greater of one residential unit or one
percent of the existing residential units in an existing rental residential building,
which contains four or more residential units (based on prescribed limits out in
section 2 (3.1) of the D.C.A.).
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 7-5
- Full exemption for additional residential development in existing buildings:
development that results only in the creation of up to two additional dwelling units
(based on prescribed limits set out in section 2 (3.2) of the D.C.A.
- Full exemption for additional residential development in new dwellings:
development that includes the creation of up to two additional dwelling units
(based on prescribed limits set out in section 2 (3.3) of the D.C.A ).
- Full exemption for a university in Ontario that receives direct, regular, and
ongoing operating funding from the Government of Ontario.
- Full exemption for affordable units (see bulletin rates identified in section 1.3.8).
- Full exemption for attainable units (note that further definition is required through
regulations prior to being in full effect).
- Full exemption for affordable inclusionary zoning units.
- Full exemption for non-profit housing developments.
- Partial exemption through a discount for rental housing units based on the
number of bedrooms contained in each unit, as prescribed (note that these
discounts are not part of the methodology required for calculating the charge, but
a rule that has to be included in the by-law which informs implementation):
o Residential units intended for use as a rented residential premises with
three (3) or more bedrooms - 25% discount.
o Residential units intended for use as a rented residential premises with
two (2) bedrooms - 20% discount.
o Residential units intended for use as a rented residential premises not
referred to 1 or 2 above - 15% discount.
7.3.5 Timing of Collection
The D.C.s for all services and classes are payable upon issuance of the first building
permit for each dwelling unit, building, or structure, subject to early or late payment
agreements entered into by the Town and an owner under s.27 of the D.C.A., 1997.
Rental housing and institutional developments will pay D.C.s in six equal annual
payments commencing at occupancy, and then on the anniversary of occupancy for the
following five years.
Moreover, the D.C. amount for all developments occurring within two (2) years of a Site
Plan or Zoning By-law Amendment planning approval (for applications submitted and
approved after January 1, 2020, and June 5, 2024), shall be determined based on the
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 7-6
D.C. in effect on the day of the applicable Site Plan or Zoning By-law Amendment
application. The D.C. amount for all developments occurring within eighteen (18)
months of a Site Plan or Zoning By-law Amendment planning approval (for applications
received on or after January 1, 2020, that have not received approval prior to June 6,
2024), shall be determined based on the D.C. in effect on the day of the applicable Site
Plan or Zoning By-law Amendment application.
Instalment payments and payments determined at the time of Site Plan or Zoning By-
law Amendment application are subject to annual interest charges. The maximum
interest rate the Town can impose is the average prime rate plus 1%.
7.3.6 Indexing
All D.C.s will be subject to mandatory indexing annually on January 1st of each year in
accordance with the Statistics Canada Quarterly, Non-Residential Building Construction
Price Index.
7.3.7 Development Charge Spatial Applicability
The D.C.A. historically has provided the opportunity for a municipality to impose
municipal-wide charges or area specific charges. Subsections 2 (7) and 2 (8) of the
D.C.A. provide that a D.C. by-law may apply to the entire municipality or only part of it
and more than one D.C. by-law may apply to the same area. The D.C.A. now require
municipalities to consider the application of municipal-wide and area-specific D.C.s.
Subsection 10 (2) (c.1) requires Council to consider the use of more than one D.C. by-
law to reflect different needs from services in different areas. Most municipalities in
Ontario have established uniform, municipal-wide D.C.s. When area-specific charges
are used, it is generally to underpin master servicing and front-end financing
arrangements for more localized capital costs.
The rationale for maintaining a Town-wide D.C. approach is based, in part, on the
following:
1. All Town services, except for water, wastewater, and stormwater services,
require that the average 15-year service standard be calculated. This average
service standard multiplied by growth in the Town, establishes an upper ceiling
on the amount of funds that can be collected from all developing landowners.
Section 4 (4) of O. Reg. 82/98 provides that "if a development charge by-law
applies to a part of the municipality, the level of service and average level of
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 7-7
service cannot exceed that which would be determined if the by-law applied to
the whole municipality." Put in layman terms, the average service standard
multiplied by the growth within the specific area would establish an area-specific
ceiling which would significantly reduce the total revenue recoverable for the
Town hence potentially resulting in D.C. revenue shortfalls and impacts on
property taxes.
2. Expanding on item 1, attempting to impose an area charge potentially causes
equity issues in transitioning from a Town-wide approach to an area-specific
approach. For example, if all services were now built (and funded) within Area A
(which is 75% built out) and this was funded with some revenues from Areas B
and C, moving to an area-rating approach would see Area A contribute no funds
to the costs of services in Areas B and C. The D.C.s would be lower in Area A
(as all services are now funded) and higher in Areas B and C. As well, funding
shortfalls may then potentially encourage the municipality to provide less services
to Areas B and C due to reduced revenue.
3. Many services provided (roads, parks, and recreation facilities) are not restricted
to one specific area and are often used by all residents. For example, arenas
located in different parts of the Town will be used by residents from all areas
depending on the programing of the facility (i.e., a public skate is available each
night, but at a different arena; hence usage of any one facility at any given time is
based on programming availability).
Based on the foregoing and discussions with Town staff, area-specific D.C.s are
suitable for water and wastewater (urban) services. Therefore, it is recommended that
the Town:
- Continues to apply Town-wide D.C.s for all municipal services, except water and
wastewater services; and.
- Maintains its approach of imposing area-specific D.C.s for water and wastewater
services across the urban serviced area.

PAGE 7-8
7.4 Other Development Charge By-law Provisions
It is recommended that:
7.4.1 Categories of Services and Class of Services for Reserve Fund
and Credit Purposes
The Town's D.C. collections should be contributed into 11 separate reserve funds,
including:
- Services Related to a Highway;
- Fire Protection Services;
- Policing Services;

7.5 Other Recommendations
It is recommended that Council:
"Whenever appropriate, request that grants, subsidies and other
contributions be clearly designated by the donor as being to the benefit of
existing development or new development, as applicable;"

basis for water and wastewater services;"
"Approve the capital project listing set out in Chapter 5 of the D.C.
Background Study dated December 18, 2024, subject to further annual
review during the capital budget process;"

By-law Implementation

PAGE 8-1
8. By-law Implementation
8.1 Public Consultation Process
8.1.1 Introduction
This chapter addresses the mandatory, formal public consultation process (subsection
8.1.2), as well as the optional, informal consultation process (subsection 8.1.3). The
latter is designed to seek the co-operation and participation of those involved, in order
to produce the most suitable policy. Section 8.2 addresses the anticipated impact of the
D.C. on development from a generic viewpoint.
8.1.2 Public Meeting of Council
Section 12 of the D.C.A. indicates that before passing a D.C. by-law, Council must hold
at least one public meeting, giving at least 20 clear days' notice thereof, in accordance
with the Regulation. Council must also ensure that the proposed by-law and
background report are made available to the public at least two weeks prior to the (first)
meeting.
Any person who attends such a meeting may make representations related to the
proposed by-law.
If a proposed by-law is changed following such a meeting, Council must determine
whether a further meeting (under this section) is necessary (i.e., if the proposed by-law
which is proposed for adoption has been changed in any respect, Council should
formally consider whether an additional public meeting is required, incorporating this
determination as part of the final by-law or associated resolution. It is noted that
Council's decision, once made, is final and not subject to review by a Court or the
Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT).
8.1.3 Other Consultation Activity
There are three broad groupings of the public who are generally the most concerned
with municipal D.C. policy:
1. The first grouping is the residential development community, consisting of land
developers and builders, who are typically responsible for generating the majority
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 8-2
of the D.C. revenues. Others, such as realtors, are directly impacted by D.C.
policy. They are, therefore, potentially interested in all aspects of the charge,
particularly the quantum by unit type, projects to be funded by the D.C. and the
timing thereof, and municipal policy with respect to development agreements,
D.C. credits and front-ending requirements.
2. The second public grouping embraces the public at large and includes taxpayer
coalition groups and others interested in public policy.
3. The third grouping is the industrial/commercial/institutional/primary development
sector, consisting of land developers and major owners or organizations with
significant construction plans, such as hotels, entertainment complexes,
shopping centres, offices, industrial buildings, institutional buildings, and
buildings on agricultural lands. Also involved are organizations such as Industry
Associations, the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade, and the Economic
Development Agencies, who are all potentially interested in Town D.C. policy.
Their primary concern is frequently with the quantum of the charge, G.F.A.
exclusions such as basements, mechanical or indoor parking areas, or
exemptions and phase-in or capping provisions in order to moderate the impact.
8.1.4 Anticipated Impact of the Charge on Development
The establishment of sound D.C. policy often requires the achievement of an
acceptable balance between two competing realities. The first is that high non-
residential D.C.s can, to some degree, represent a barrier to increased economic
activity and sustained industrial/commercial growth, particularly for capital intensive
uses. Also, in many cases, increased residential D.C.s can ultimately be expected to be
recovered via housing prices and can impact project feasibility in some cases (e.g.,
rental apartments).
On the other hand, D.C.s or other municipal capital funding sources need to be obtained
in order to help ensure that the necessary infrastructure and amenities are installed.
The timely installation of such works is a key initiative in providing adequate service
levels and in facilitating strong economic growth, investment, and wealth generation.

PAGE 8-3
8.2 Implementation Requirements
8.2.1 Introduction
Once the Town has calculated the charge, prepared the complete background study,
carried out the public process and passed a new by-law, the emphasis shifts to
implementation matters. These include notices, potential appeals and complaints,
credits, front-ending agreements, subdivision agreement conditions and finally the
collection of revenues and funding of projects.
The sections that follow present an overview of the requirements in each case.
8.2.2 Notice of Passage
In accordance with section 13 of the D.C.A., when a D.C. by-law is passed, the Town
Clerk shall give written notice of the passing and of the last day for appealing the by-law
(the day that is 40 days after the day it was passed). Such notice must be given no
later than 20 days after the day the by-law is passed (i.e., as of the day of newspaper
publication, mailing of the notice, or posting to municipality's website).
Section 10 of O. Reg. 82/98 further defines the notice requirements which are
summarized as follows:
- notice may be given in one of the following ways:
o by personal service, fax, or mail to every owner of land in the area to
which the by-law relates; or
o by publication in a newspaper which is (in the Clerk's opinion) of sufficient
circulation to give the public reasonable notice. If, in the Clerk's opinion, a
newspaper as described above does not exist, the notice can be provided
by posting on the municipality's website.
- subsection 10 (4) lists the persons/organizations who must be given notice; and
- subsection 10 (5) lists the eight items that the notice must cover.
8.2.3 By-law Pamphlet
In addition to the "notice" information, the Town must prepare a "pamphlet" explaining
each D.C. by-law in force, setting out:
- a description of the general purpose of the D.C.s;
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 8-4
- the "rules" for determining if a charge is payable in a particular case and for
determining the amount of the charge;
- the services to which the D.C.s relate; and
- a description of the general purpose of the Treasurer's statement and where it
may be received by the public.
Where a by-law is not appealed to the OLT, the pamphlet must be readied within 60
days after the by-law comes into force. Later dates apply to appealed by-law.
The Town must give one copy of the most recent pamphlet without charge to any
person who requests one.
8.2.4 Appeals
Sections 13 to 19 of the D.C.A. set out the requirements relative to making and
processing a D.C. by-law appeal and OLT hearing in response to an appeal. Any
person or organization may appeal a D.C. by-law to the OLT by filing a notice of appeal
with the Town Clerk, setting out the objection to the by-law and the reasons supporting
the objection. This must be done by the last day for appealing the by-law, which is 40
days after the by-law is passed.
The Town is conducting a public consultation process in order to address the issues
that come forward as part of that process, thereby avoiding or reducing the need for an
appeal to be made.
8.2.5 Complaints
A person required to pay a D.C., or his agent, may complain to the Town Council
imposing the charge that:
- the amount of the charge was incorrectly determined;
- the reduction to be used against the D.C. was incorrectly determined; or
- there was an error in the application of the D.C.
Sections 20 to 25 of the D.C.A. set out the requirements that exist, including the fact
that a complaint may not be made later than 90 days after a D.C. (or any part of it) is
payable. A complainant may appeal the decision of Town Council to the OLT.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 8-5
8.2.6 Credits
Sections 38 to 41 of the D.C.A. set out a number of credit requirements, which apply
where a municipality agrees to allow a person to perform work in the future that relates
to a service in the D.C. by-law.
These credits would be used to reduce the amount of D.C.s to be paid. The value of
the credit is limited to the reasonable cost of the work, which does not exceed the
average level of service. The credit applies only to the service to which the work relates
unless the municipality agrees to expand the credit to other services for which a D.C. is
payable.
8.2.7 Front-Ending Agreements
The Town and one or more landowners may enter into a front-ending agreement that
provides for the costs of a project that will benefit an area in the Town to which the D.C.
by-law applies. Such an agreement can provide for the costs to be borne by one or
more parties to the agreement who are, in turn, reimbursed in future by persons who
develop land defined in the agreement.
Part III of the D.C.A. (sections 44 to 58) addresses front-ending agreements.
Accordingly, the Town assesses whether this mechanism is appropriate for its use, as
part of funding projects prior to Town funds being available.
8.2.8 Severance and Subdivision Agreement Conditions
Section 59 of the D.C.A. prevents a municipality from imposing directly or indirectly, a
charge related to development or a requirement to construct a service related to
development, by way of a condition or agreement under section 51 or section 53 of the
Planning Act, except for:
- "local services, related to a plan of subdivision or within the area to which the
plan relates, to be installed or paid for by the owner as a condition of approval
under section 51 of the Planning Act;" and
- "local services to be installed or paid for by the owner as a condition of approval
under section 53 of the Planning Act."
It is also noted that subsection 59 (4) of the D.C.A. requires that the municipal approval
authority for a draft plan of subdivision under subsection 51 (31) of the Planning Act,
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 8-6
use its power to impose conditions to ensure that the first purchaser of newly subdivided
land is informed of all the D.C.s related to the development, at the time the land is
transferred.
In this regard, if the municipality in question is a commenting agency, in order to comply
with subsection 59 (4) of the D.C.A. it would need to provide to the approval authority
information regarding the applicable municipal D.C.s related to the site.
If the Town is an approval authority for the purposes of section 51 of the Planning Act, it
would be responsible to ensure that it collects information from all entities that can
impose a D.C.
The most effective way to ensure that purchasers are aware of this condition would be
to require it as a provision in a registered subdivision agreement, so that any purchaser
of the property would be aware of the charges at the time the title was searched prior to
closing a transaction conveying the lands.

Town of Carleton Place
Employment Forecast, 2024 to Buildout
[1] Statistics Canada defines no fixed place of work (N.F.P.O.W.) employees as "persons who do not go from home to the same
workplace location at the beginning of each shift. Such persons include building and landscape contractors, travelling salespersons,
independent truck drivers, etc."
Note: Statistics Canada 2021 Census place of work employment data has been reviewed. The 2021 Census employment results
have not been utilized due to a significant increase in work at home employment captured due to Census enumeration occurring
during the provincial COVID-19 lockdown from April 1, 2021, to June 14, 2021.

Long-Term Capital and
Operating Cost Examination

PAGE C-2
Appendix C: Long-Term Capital and Operating
Cost Examination
As a requirement of the D.C.A. under subsection 10 (2) (c), an analysis must be
undertaken to assess the long-term capital and operating cost impacts for the capital
infrastructure projects identified within the D.C. background study. As part of this
analysis, it was deemed necessary to isolate the incremental operating expenditures
directly associated with these capital projects, factor in cost savings attributable to
economies of scale or cost sharing where applicable and prorate the cost on a per unit
basis (i.e., sq.ft. of building space, per vehicle, etc.). This was undertaken through a
review of the Town's approved 2023 Financial Information Return (F.I.R.).
In addition to the operational impacts, over time the initial capital projects will require
replacement. This replacement of capital is often referred to as lifecycle cost. By
definition, lifecycle costs are all the costs that are incurred during the life of a physical
asset, from the time its acquisition is first considered, to the time it is taken out of
service for disposal or redeployment. Lifecycle costs were estimated by dividing the
growth-related costs by the average useful life. The useful life assumptions used for
each asset class are provided in Table C-1.

Table C-1 depicts the annual operating impact resulting from the proposed gross capital
projects at the time they are all in place. It is important to note that, while Town
program expenditures will increase with growth in population, the costs associated with
the new infrastructure (i.e., facilities) would be delayed until the time these works are in
place.

Fund Policy
D.1
Legislative Requirements
The Development Charges Act, 1997, as amended (D.C.A.) requires development
charge (D.C.) collections (and associated interest) to be placed in separate reserve
funds. Sections 33 through 36 of the D.C.A. provide the following regarding reserve
fund establishment and use:
- A municipality shall establish a reserve fund for each service to which the D.C.
by-law relates; subsection 7 (1), however, allows services to be grouped into
categories of services for reserve fund (and credit) purposes and for classes of
services to be established.
- The municipality shall pay each D.C. it collects into a reserve fund or funds to
which the charge relates.
- The money in a reserve fund shall be spent only for the "capital costs"
determined through the legislated calculation process (as per subsection 5 (1) 2
to 8).
- Money may be borrowed from the fund but must be paid back with interest (O.
Reg. 82/98, subsection 11 (1) defines this as Bank of Canada rate either on the
day the by-law comes into force or, if specified in the by-law, the first business
day of each quarter).
- D.C. reserve funds may not be consolidated with other municipal reserve funds
for investment purposes and may only be used as an interim financing source for
capital undertakings for which D.C.s may be spent (section 37).
Annually, the Treasurer of the municipality is required to provide Council with a financial
statement related to the D.C. by-law(s) and reserve funds. This statement must be
made available to the public and may be requested to be forwarded to the Minister of
Municipal Affairs and Housing.
Subsection 43 (2) and O. Reg. 82/98 prescribe the information that must be included in
the Treasurer's statement, as follows:
- opening balance;
- closing balance;
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE D-3
- description of each service and/or service category for which the reserve fund
was established (including a list of services within a service category);
- transactions for the year (e.g., collections, draws) including each asset's capital
costs to be funded from the D.C. reserve fund and the manner for funding the
capital costs not funded under the D.C. by-law (i.e., non-D.C.-recoverable cost
share and post-period D.C.-recoverable cost share);
- for projects financed by D.C.s, the amount spent on the project from the D.C.
reserve fund and the amount and source of any other monies spent on the
project;
- amounts borrowed, purpose of the borrowing, and interest accrued during
previous year;
- amount and source of money used by the municipality to repay municipal
obligations to the D.C. reserve fund;
- list of credits by service or service category (outstanding at the beginning of the
year, given in the year, and outstanding at the end of the year by the holder);
- for credits granted under section 14 of the previous D.C.A., a schedule identifying
the value of credits recognized by the municipality, the service to which it applies,
and the source of funding used to finance the credit; and
- a statement as to compliance with subsection 59 (1) of the D.C.A., whereby the
municipality shall not impose, directly or indirectly, a charge related to a
development or a requirement to construct a service related to development,
except as permitted by the D.C.A. or another Act.
Recent changes arising from Bill 109 (More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022) provide that
the Council shall make the statement available to the public by posting the statement on
the website or, if there is no such website, in the municipal office. In addition, Bill 109
introduced the following requirements which shall be included in the treasurer's
statement:
- For each service for which a development charge is collected during the year,
o whether, as of the end of the year, the municipality expects to incur the
amount of capital costs that were estimated, in the relevant development
charge background study, to be incurred during the term of the applicable
development charge by-law; and
o if the answer to the above is no, the amount the municipality now expects
to incur and a statement as to why this amount is expected.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE D-4
- For any service for which a development charge was collected during the year
but in respect of which no money from a reserve fund was spent during the year,
a statement as to why there was no spending during the year.
Additionally, as per subsection 35 (3) of the D.C.A.:
"35 (3) If a service is prescribed for the purposes of this subsection,
beginning in the first calendar year that commences after the service is
prescribed and in each calendar year thereafter, a municipality shall spend
or allocate at least 60 per cent of the monies that are in a reserve fund for
the prescribed service at the beginning of the year."
The services currently prescribed are water, wastewater, and services related to a
highway. Therefore, as of 2023, a municipality shall spend or allocate at least 60
percent of the monies in the reserve fund at the beginning of the year. There are
generally two ways in which a municipality may approach this requirement:
1. Include a schedule as part of the annual Treasurer's statement; or
2. Incorporate the information into the annual budgeting process.
Based upon the above, Figure D-1 and Attachments 1 and 2, set out the format for
which annual reporting to Council should be provided. Figure D-4 provides the
schedule for allocating reserve fund balances to projects.
Based upon the above, Tables D-1 to D-4 provide an example format for which annual
reporting to Council should be provided. Table D-5 provides the schedule for allocating
prescribed reserve fund balances to projects.
D.2
Development Charge Reserve Fund Application
Section 35 of the D.C.A. states that:
"The money in a reserve fund established for a service may be spent only
for capital costs determined under paragraphs 2 to 7 of subsection 5(1)."
This provision clearly establishes that reserve funds collected for a specific service are
only to be used for that service, or to be used as a source of interim financing of capital
undertakings for which a D.C. may be spent.

PAGE E-2
Appendix E: Local Service Policy
This Appendix sets out the Town's General Policy Guidelines on Development Charges
(D.C.) and local service funding for Services Related to a Highway, Stormwater
Management Services, Water Services, Wastewater Services, and Parkland
Development. The guidelines outline, in general terms, the size and nature of
engineered infrastructure that is included in the study as a development charge project,
versus infrastructure that is considered as a local service, to be emplaced separately by
landowners, pursuant to a development agreement.
The following policy guidelines are general principles by which staff will be guided in
considering development applications. However, each application will be considered, in
the context of these policy guidelines and subsection 59(2) of the Development Charges
Act, 1997, on its own merits having regard to, among other factors, the nature, type and
location of the development and any existing and proposed development in the
surrounding area, as well as the location and type of services required and their
relationship to the proposed development and to existing and proposed development in
the area.
A. Services Related to a Highway
A highway and services related to a highway are intended for the transportation of
people and goods via many different modes including, but not limited to passenger
automobiles, commercial vehicles, transit vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians to ensure
a complete street approach is applied throughout the Town. The highway shall consist
of all land and associated infrastructure built to support (or service) this movement of
people and goods regardless of the mode of transportation employed, thereby achieving
a complete street. A complete street is the concept whereby a highway is planned,
designed, operated, and maintained to enable pedestrians, cyclists, public transit users
and motorists to safely and comfortably be moved, thereby allowing for the efficient
movement of persons and goods.
The associated infrastructure to achieve this concept may include, but is not limited to:
road pavement structure and curbs; grade separation/bridge structures (for any
vehicles, railways and/or pedestrians); grading, drainage and retaining wall features;
culvert structures; storm water drainage systems; utilities; traffic control systems;
signage; gateway features; street furniture; active transportation facilities (e.g.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.

sidewalks, bike lanes, multi-use trails which interconnect the transportation network,
pedestrian crossovers, etc.); transit lanes & lay-bys; roadway illumination systems;
boulevard and median surfaces (e.g. sod & topsoil, paving, etc.); street trees and
landscaping; parking lanes & lay-bys; and driveway entrances; noise attenuation
systems; and railings and safety barriers.

Asset Management Plan

PAGE F-2
Appendix F: Asset Management Plan
The Development Charges Act, 1997, as amended (D.C.A.) (subsection 10 (2) (c.2))
requires that the background study must include an asset management plan (A.M.P.)
related to new infrastructure. Subsection 10 (3) of the D.C.A. provides:
"The asset management plan shall,
(a) deal with all assets whose capital costs are proposed to be funded
under the development charge by-law;
(b) demonstrate that all the assets mentioned in clause (a) are financially
sustainable over their full life cycle;
(c) contain any other information that is prescribed; and
(d) be prepared in the prescribed manner."
In regard to the above, section 8 of the regulations was amended to include subsections
(2), (3), and (4) which set out specific detailed requirements for transit (only). For all
services except transit, there are no prescribed requirements at this time, thus requiring
the municipality to define the approach to include in the background study.
At a broad level, the A.M.P. provides for the long-term investment in an asset over its
entire useful life along with the funding. The schematic below identifies the costs for an
asset through its entire lifecycle. For growth-related works, the majority of capital costs
will be funded by the development charge (D.C.). Non-growth-related expenditures will
then be funded from non-D.C. revenues as noted below. During the useful life of the
asset, there will be minor maintenance costs to extend the life of the asset along with
additional program-related expenditures to provide the full services to the residents. At
the end of the life of the asset, it will be replaced by non-D.C. financing sources.
It should be noted that with the recent passing of the Infrastructure for Jobs and
Prosperity Act (I.J.P.A.) municipalities are now required to complete A.M.P.s, based on
certain criteria, which are to be completed by 2022 for core municipal services and 2024
for all other services. The D.C.A. does not require municipalities to complete these
A.M.P.s (required under I.J.P.A.) for the D.C. background study, rather the D.C.A.
requires that the D.C. background study include information to show the assets to be
funded by the D.C. are sustainable over their full lifecycle.

In 2012, the Province developed Building Together: Guide for municipal asset
management plans which outlines the key elements for an A.M.P., as follows:
- State of local infrastructure: asset types, quantities, age, condition, financial
accounting valuation and replacement cost valuation.
- Desired levels of service: defines levels of service through performance
measures and discusses any external trends or issues that may affect expected
levels of service or the municipality's ability to meet them (for example, new
accessibility standards, climate change impacts).
- Asset management strategy: the asset management strategy is the set of
planned actions that will seek to generate the desired levels of service in a
sustainable way, while managing risk, at the lowest lifecycle cost.
- Financing strategy: having a financial plan is critical for putting an A.M.P. into
action. By having a strong financial plan, municipalities can also demonstrate
that they have made a concerted effort to integrate the A.M.P. with financial
planning and municipal budgeting and are making full use of all available
infrastructure financing tools.

Commensurate with the above, the Town prepared an A.M.P. in 2024 for its existing
core infrastructure assets; however, it did not consider future growth-related assets. As
a result, the asset management requirement for the D.C. must be undertaken in the
absence of this information.
In recognition of the schematic above, the following table (presented in 2024$) has
been developed to provide the annualized expenditures and revenues associated with
new growth. Note that the D.C.A. does not require an analysis of the non-D.C. capital
needs or their associated operating costs so these are omitted from the table below. As
well, as all capital costs included in the D.C.-eligible capital costs are not included in the
Town's A.M.P., the present infrastructure gap and associated funding plan have not
been considered at this time. Hence the following does not represent a fiscal impact
assessment (including future tax/rate increases) but provides insight into the potential
affordability of the new assets:
1. The non-D.C.-recoverable portion of the projects that will require financing from
municipal financial resources (i.e., rates, fees, etc.). This amount has been
presented on an annual debt charge amount based on 20-year financing.
2. Lifecycle costs for the 2024 D.C. capital works have been presented based on a
straight-line basis. The assets have been considered over their estimated useful
lives.
3. Incremental operating costs for the D.C. services (only) have been included.
4. The resultant total annualized expenditures are approximately $16.33 million.
5. Consideration was given to the potential new tax and user fee revenue which will
be generated as a result of new growth. These revenues will be available to
assist in financing the expenditures above. The new operating revenues are
$12.69 million. This additional revenue would increase the existing revenues
from $38.03 million to $50.73 million.
6. In consideration of the above, the capital plan is deemed to be financially
sustainable.
