PURPOSE OF 2021 DEVELOPMENT CHARGES (DC)
BACKGROUND STUDY
i.
Legislative Context
The Loyalist Township 2021 Development Charges (DC) Background Study is presented as
part of the process to lead to the approval of a new DC by-law in compliance with the
Development Charges Act, 1997 (DCA). The study is prepared in accordance with the DCA
and associated Regulation, including the amendments that came into force on January 1,
2016, June 6, 2019, January 1, 2020 and September 17, 2020.
ii.
Key Steps in Determining Future Development-Related Projects
In accordance with the DCA and associated regulation, several key steps are required to
calculate development charges. This includes preparing a development forecast,
establishing historical service levels, determining the increase in need for services arising
from development and appropriate shares of costs, attribution to development types (i.e.
residential and non-residential) and the final adjustment to the calculated rate of a cash
flow analysis.
iii.
DC Eligible and Ineligible Costs
Development charges are intended to pay for the initial round of capital costs needed to
service new development over an identified planning period. This is based on the
overarching principle that "growth pays for growth". However, the DCA and associated
regulation includes several statutory adjustments that prevent these costs from fully being
recovered by growth. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to: ineligible costs,
including operating and maintenance costs; ineligible services; deductions for costs that
exceed historical service level caps; and statutory exemptions for specific uses (i.e.
industrial expansions).
iv.
The Development-Related Capital Program is Subject to Change
It is recommended that Council adopt the development-related capital program developed
for the purposes of the 2021 DC Background Study. However, it is recognized that the DC
Background Study is a point-in-time analysis and there may be changes to project timing,
scope and costs through the Townshipʼs normal annual budget process. The following
summarizes the findings of the Loyalist Township 2021 Development Charges Background
Study.

D.
ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN
A key function of the Asset Management Plan is to demonstrate that all assets proposed to
be funded under the DC by-law are financially sustainable over their full life cycle.
By 2031, for General and Engineered Services, the Township will need to fund an additional
$254,900 per annum for Township-wide services in order to properly fund the full life cycle
costs of the new assets supported under the 2021 Development Charges By-law.
E.
LONG-TERM CAPITAL AND OPERATING COSTS
An overview of the long-term capital and operating costs for the capital facilities and
infrastructure to be included in the DC by-law is provided in the study. This examination is
required as one of the provisions of the DCA. Additional details on the long-term capital and
operating impact analysis is found in Appendix E. By 2030 the Townshipʼs net operating
costs are estimated to increase by about $1.02 million per annum if all infrastructure
identified in this study is emplaced.
F.
MODIFICATIONS TO THE TOWNSHIP'S DEVELOPMENT
CHARGES BY-LAW ARE PROPOSED
The Township is proposing to modify the current development charges by-law as part of the
study process. The by-law is available under Appendix F of this report.
Introduction | 4
1. INTRODUCTION
This Loyalist Township Development Charges Background Study is presented as part of a
process to lead to the approval of new development charge by-law(s) in compliance with
the Development Charges Act, 1997 (DCA).
A.
LEGISLATIVE CONTEXT
This study is prepared in accordance with the DCA and associated Regulations, including
recent legislative amendments. In 2019, the province announced changes to the DCA and
the Planning Act through two key pieces of legislation Bill 108: More Homes, More Choice
Act and Bill 138: Plan to Build Ontario Together Act, 2019. Prior to the end of the
consultation process, Canada was impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic. In response,
the province of Ontario introduced legislation to enact the state of emergency and as part of
that in July 2020, Bill 197 COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, 2020 was passed. Bill 197
reversed many of the initiatives put forward through Bill 108 and 138.
On September 17, 2020, the Province enacted Bill 197 including the following changes:
Removal of the statutory ten per cent reduction on "soft" services
A list of eligible services as listed in subsection 2 (4) of the DCA
Ability to create service classes in subsection 7 (3) of the DCA
Changes related to Community Benefits Charges (not included as part of this DC Study
process)
Others.
Other changes to the DCA that came into force on January 1, 2020 include the "DC Freeze"
(Section 26.2 of the DCA) and the "DC Deferrals "(Section 26.1 of the DCA).
B.
PURPOSE OF STUDY
This study presents the results of the review that determines the development-related net
capital costs which are attributable to new development forecast to occur in the Township.
These development-related net capital costs are then apportioned among various types of
development (residential; non-residential) in a manner that reflects the increase in the need
for each service attributable to each type of development. Therefore, the study arrives at
proposed development charges for various types of development.
Introduction | 5
The DCA provides for a period of public review and comment regarding the proposed
development charges. Following completion of this process, in accordance with the DCA
and Councilʼs review of this study and the comments it receives regarding this study or
other information brought to its attention about the proposed charges, it is intended that
Council will pass new development charges for the Township.
Township-Wide Approach | 6
2. TOWNSHIP-WIDE APPROACH
Several key steps are required in calculating any development charge. However, specific
circumstances arise in each municipality which must be reflected in the calculation.
Therefore, this study has been tailored for the Townshipʼs unique circumstances. The
approach to the proposed development charges is focused on providing a reasonable
alignment of development-related costs with the development that necessitates them.
A.
TOWNSHIP-WIDE DEVELOPMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
The Township provides a wide range of services to the community it serves and has an
extensive inventory of facilities, land, infrastructure, vehicles and equipment. The DCA
provides municipalities with flexibility to define services that will be included in
development charge by-laws, provided that the other provisions of the Act and its
associated regulations are met. The DCA also requires that the by-law designates the areas
within which the by-law shall be imposed. The development charges may apply to all lands
in the Township or to other designated development areas as specified in the by-law.
i.
Services Based on a Township-Wide Approach
For the services that the Township provides, a range of capital facilities, land, equipment
and infrastructure is available throughout the Township; fire stations, park facilities, arterial
roads and so on. As new development occurs, new facilities will need to be added so that
service levels in newly developing areas are provided at levels enjoyed in existing
communities. A widely accepted method for sharing the development-related capital costs
for such Township services is to apportion them over all new development anticipated in
the Township. As part of the Townshipʼs 2021 DC update, no area-specific development
charges are calculated.
The following services are included in the Township-wide development charge calculation:
General Services
Emergency Services;
Parks & Recreation; and
Development Related Studies.
Engineered Services
Services Related to a Highway:
Public Works - Buildings &
Fleet; and
Roads & Related.
Stormwater Management.
Township-Wide Approach | 7
These services form a reasonable basis on which to plan and administer the development
charges. The analysis of each of these services examines the individual capital facilities and
equipment that make them up. For example, the Emergency Services includes various
buildings and associated land, vehicles and equipment.
The resulting development charge for these services would be imposed against all
development in the Township.
B.
KEY STEPS IN DETERMINING DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
Several key steps are required in calculating development charges for future development-
related projects. These are summarized below and illustrated in Figure 1.

i.
Development Forecast
The first step in the methodology requires a development forecast to be prepared for the
ten-year study period, 2021-2030 for general and engineered services. The forecasts of
population and households are guided by discussions with Township staff as well the
Forecasts of households, population and employment outlined in Population, Housing and
Employment Projections to 2046 report prepared by Hemson Consulting in 2019.
For the residential portion of the forecast, the net (or Census) population growth and
population growth in new units is estimated. Net population growth equals the population in
new housing units reduced by the decline in the population in the existing base anticipated
over the ten-year period (due to reducing household sizes as the community ages). Net
population is used in the calculation of the development charges funding envelopes. In
calculating the per capita development charge, however, population growth in new units is
used.
The non-residential portion of the forecast estimates the Gross Floor Area (GFA) of building
space to be developed over the ten-year period, 2021-2030. The forecast of GFA is based
on the employment forecast for the Township. A factor for floor space per worker by
category is used to convert the employment forecast into gross floor area for the purposes
of the DC Background Study.
ii.
Service Categories and Historical Service Levels
The DCA provides that the increase in the need for service attributable to anticipated
development:
... must not include an increase that would result in the level of service exceeding the
average level of that service provided in the Township over the ten-year period
immediately preceding the preparation of the background study...(s. 5. (1) 4.)
Historical ten-year average service levels thus form the basis for development charges. A
review of Townshipʼs capital service levels for buildings, land, vehicles and so on, has
therefore been prepared as a reference for the calculation, so that the portion of future
capital projects that may be included in the development charge can be determined. The
historical service levels used in this study have been calculated based on the period 2011-
2020.
Township-Wide Approach | 10
iii.
Development-Related Capital Program and Analysis of Net Capital
Costs to be Included in the Development Charges
A development-related capital program has been prepared by Township staff as part of the
present study. The program identifies development-related projects and their gross and net
costs, after allowing for capital grants, subsidies or other contributions as required by the
Act (DCA, s. 5. (2)). The capital program provides another cornerstone upon which
development charges are based. The DCA requires that the increase in the need for service
attributable to the anticipated development may include an increase:
... only if the council of the Township has indicated that it intends to ensure that such
an increase in need will be met. (s. 5. (1) 3.)
In conjunction with DCA, s. 5. (1) 4. referenced above, these sections have the effect of
requiring that the development charge be calculated on the lesser of the historical ten-year
average service levels or the service levels embodied in future plans of the Township. The
development-related capital forecast prepared for this study ensures that development
charges are only imposed to help pay for projects that have been or are intended to be
purchased or built in order to accommodate future anticipated development. It is not
sufficient in the calculation of development charges merely to have had the service in the
past. There must also be a demonstrated commitment to continue to emplace facilities or
infrastructure in the future. In this regard, Ontario Regulation 82/98, s. 3 states that:
For the purposes of paragraph 3 of subsection 5 (1) of the Act, the council of a
Township has indicated that it intends to ensure that an increase in the need for
service will be met if the increase in service forms part of an Official Plan, capital
forecast or similar expression of the intention of the council and the plan, forecast or
similar expression of the intention of the council has been approved by the council.
For some projects in the development-related capital forecast, a portion of the project may
confer benefits to existing (a "BTE") residents. As required by the DCA, s. 5. (1) 6., these
portions of projects and their associated net costs are the funding responsibility of the
Township from non-development charges sources. The amount of Township funding for
such non-development shares of projects is also identified as part of the preparation of the
development-related capital forecast.
There is also a requirement in the DCA to reduce the applicable development charge by the
amount of any "uncommitted excess capacity" that is available for a service. Such capacity
is available to partially meet future servicing requirements. Adjustments are made in the
analysis to meet this requirement of the Act.
Township-Wide Approach | 11
iv.
Attribution to Types of Development
The next step in the determination of development charges is the allocation of the
development-related net capital costs between the residential and the non-residential
sectors. This is done by using different apportionments for different services in accordance
with the demands which the two sectors would be expected to place on the various services
and the different benefits derived from those services.
Where reasonable data exist, the apportionment is based on the expected demand for, and
use of, the service by each sector (e.g. based on shares of population and employment
growth).
Finally, the residential component of the Township-wide charge is applied to different
housing types on the basis of average occupancy factors. The non-residential component is
applied on the basis of gross building space in square metres.
v.
Final Adjustment
The final determination of the development charge results from adjustments made to
development-related net capital costs for each service and sector resulting from the
application of any unallocated reserve fund balances available to finance the development-
related capital costs in the capital forecast. A cash flow analysis is also undertaken to
account for the timing of projects and receipt of development charges for Township-wide
services. Interest earnings or borrowing costs are therefore accounted for in the calculation
as allowed under the DCA.
vi.
Note on Rounding
Due to rounding in some tables, numbers may not add up precisely to the totals indicated
and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures for the same reason.
Development Forecast | 12
3. DEVELOPMENT FORECAST
This section provides the basis for the development forecasts used in calculating the DCs,
as well as a summary of the forecast results. A more detailed summary of the forecasts,
including tables illustrating historical trends and forecast results is provided in Appendix A.
A.
RESIDENTIAL FORECAST
DCs are levied on residential development as a charge per new unit. Therefore, for the
residential forecast, a projection of both the population growth1 as well as the population in
new units is required.
The population growth determines the need for additional facilities and provides the
foundation for the development-related capital program.
When calculating the DC, however, the development-related net capital costs are
spread over the total additional population that occupy new housing units. This
population in new units represents the population from which DCs will be collected.
Table 1 provides a summary of the residential forecast over the ten-year planning period,
from 2021 to 2030. As noted in Section 2, for DC calculation purposes, the ten-year planning
period is applicable to both general and engineered services, and has been utilized in the
calculation of the DCs.
The Townshipʼs Census population is expected to increase by approximately 1,995 people
over the next ten years, reaching 18,948 by 2030. About 1,229 additional occupied dwelling
units are forecast to be built between 2021 and 2030 and the population residing in these
units is expected to increase by 3,031.
B.
NON-RESIDENTIAL FORECAST
DCs are levied on non-residential development as a charge per square metre of gross floor
area (GFA). As with the residential forecast, the non-residential forecast requires both a
projection of employment growth as well as a projection of the employment growth
associated with new floorspace in the Township.
1 Commonly referred to as "net population growth" in the context of development charges. Penitentiary population is
excluded from the historical and forecast period.
Development Forecast | 13
The non-residential forecast projects an increase of 489 employees to 2030, which is
anticipated to be accommodated in 34,224 square metres of new non-residential building
space. Table 1 also provides a summary of the non-residential development forecasts used
in this analysis.

4. SUMMARY OF HISTORICAL CAPITAL SERVICE
LEVELS
The DCA and Ontario Regulation 82/98 require that DCs be set at a level no higher than the
average level of service provided in the Township over the ten-year period immediately
preceding the preparation of the Background Study, on a service by service basis.
For the services of Emergency Services, Parks & Recreation, Public Works - Buildings &
Fleet and Roads & Related, the legislative requirement is met by documenting historical
service levels for the preceding ten years, in this case, for the period from 2011 to 2020.
Typically, service levels for these services are measured as a ratio of inputs per capita, or
per population plus employment.
O. Reg. 82/98 requires that when determining historical service levels, both quantity and
quality of service be taken into consideration. In most cases, the service levels are initially
established in quantitative terms. For example, service levels for buildings are presented in
terms of square feet per capita. The qualitative aspect is introduced by the consideration of
the monetary value of the facility or service. In the case of buildings, for example, the cost
would be shown in terms of dollars per square foot to replace or construct a facility of the
same quality. This approach helps to ensure that the development-related capital facilities
that are to be charged to new development reflect not only the quantity (number and size)
but also the quality (value or replacement cost) of service provided historically by the
Township. Both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of service levels used in the
present analysis are based on information provided by Township staff, based on historical
records and experience with costs to acquire or construct similar facilities, equipment and
infrastructure as of 2020.
The service levels are expressed as a dollar value per capita ($/capita) or a dollar value per
capita plus employment ($/capita & employment) of infrastructure value. This service level
expression is a construction to meet the requirement of subsection 5(1) of the DCA and
does not directly reflect the utilization of infrastructure or the way municipalities plan for
services.
Table 2 summarizes service levels for all applicable services included in the DC calculation.
Appendices B, C.1.1 and C.1.2 provide the detailed historical inventory data upon which the
calculation of service levels is based.

5. THE DEVELOPMENT-RELATED CAPITAL
PROGRAM
The DCA requires the Council of a municipality to express its intent to provide future capital
facilities at the level reflected by the capital program incorporated in the DC calculation and
recovered through the proposed rates. Ontario Regulation 82/98, s. 3 states that:
For the purposes of paragraph 3 of subsection 5 (1) of the Act, the
council of a municipality has indicated that it intends to ensure that an
increase in the need for service will be met if the increase in service
forms part of an official plan, capital forecast or similar expression of the
intention of the council and the plan, forecast or similar expression of
the intention of the council has been approved by the council.
A.
DEVELOPMENT-RELATED CAPITAL FORECAST IS PROVIDED
FOR COUNCIL'S APPROVAL
Based on the development forecasts detailed in Appendix A, Township staff have created a
development-related capital program setting out those projects that are required to service
anticipated development. For all general and engineered services, the capital plan covers
the ten-year period from 2021 to 2030.
One of the recommendations contained in this DC Background Study is for Council to adopt
the capital program created for the purposes of the DC calculation. It is assumed that future
capital budgets and forecasts will continue to bring forward the development-related
projects contained herein that are consistent with the development occurring Loyalist. It is
acknowledged that changes to the forecast presented may occur through the Townshipʼs
normal capital budget process.
B.
THE DEVELOPMENT-RELATED CAPITAL FORECAST FOR
GENERAL SERVICES
A summary of the development-related capital forecast for general services is presented in
Table 3.
The table provides a total for all general services analysed over the ten-year planning
period. Further details on the capital plans for each individual service category are available
The Development-Related Capital Program | 17
in Appendix B. The development-related capital forecast for general services estimates a
total gross cost of $32.20 million. Alternative funding sources have been identified in the
amount of $15.0 million and account for contributions towards the first phase of the
Community Hub. Therefore, the net municipal cost of the capital program is reduced to
$17.20 million.
Of the $17.20 million ten-year net municipal capital costs for general services, $13.22 (77
per cent) is related to the Parks & Recreation capital program. The forecast includes Phase
1 of the Community Hub, Recreation Maintenance Garage Expansion, a Parks & Recreation
Master Plan and various vehicles, equipment, parks and amenities.
The next largest portion of the capital forecast relates to Emergency Services development-
related capital program at $3.22 million (19 per cent). The program includes the recovery of
completed projects (Amherstview Fire Station and Aerial Truck), an expansion to Odessa
Station, extrication equipment and a Fire Master Plan.
Lastly, Development Related Studies includes $756,800 in net capital costs (4 per cent of
the capital program) and includes a series of development-related studies planned over the
period.
The Development-Related Capital Program | 18
The capital program incorporates those projects identified to be related to development
anticipated in the next ten years. It is not implied that all of these costs are to be recovered
from new development by way of DCs. Portions of this capital forecast may relate to
providing servicing for development which has occurred prior to 2021 (for which DC reserve
fund balances exist), for replacement of existing capital facilities or for development
anticipated to occur beyond the 2021-2030 planning period.
C.
THE DEVELOPMENT-RELATED CAPITAL FORECAST FOR
ENGINEERED SERVICES
Table 4 provides the development-related capital recoveries for the engineered services of
Services Related to a Highway (Roads & Related and Public Works - Buildings & Fleet) and
Stormwater Management. The capital program totals $12.05 million and provides servicing
for anticipated development over the planning period from 2021 to 2030. Further details on

the capital plans for each individual service category are available in Appendix C. Grants,
subsidies and alternative funding sources (inclusive of developer contributions) have been
identified in the amount of $1.99 million for the capital projects and, as such, the remaining
net cost of $10.06 million is the cost to be paid by the Township.
Of the total net capital costs, 41 per cent, or $4.17 million is associated with development-
related Roads & Related projects. The capital program includes various infrastructure road
works (including construction on Main Street at Bath and Windermere and Amherst Drive
from Speers West to County Road 6), sidewalks and multi-use pathways, streetlighting and
studies.
The Public Works - Buildings & Fleet net capital program totals $4.83 million and
represents 48 per cent of the engineered services program. Included in the cost is an
expansion of the Public Works Garage, a Cold Storage Building and the acquisition of
various fleet assets (including half tons, a loader, bucket truck/trailer and sidewalk plows).
Stormwater Management capital projects include a Stormwater Servicing Feasibility
Study/Infrastructure Master Plan and various urban Stormwater management works
(including Amherst Drive from Speers West to County Road 6 and County Road 6 from
Amherst Drive to Kildare). The net municipal cost of the program is $1.06 million, or about
11 per cent of all engineering services costs.

6. CALCULATED DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
This section summarizes the calculation of DCs for each service category and the resulting
total charges by sector. For all Township services, the calculation of the "unadjusted" per
capita (residential) and per square metre (non-residential) charges are reviewed.
Adjustments to these amounts resulting from a cash flow analysis that takes interest
earnings and borrowing costs into account are also discussed.
For residential development, the adjusted total per capita amount is converted to a variable
charge by housing unit type using various unit occupancy factors. For non-residential
development, the charges are based on gross floor area of building space.
It is noted that the calculation of the Township-wide DCs does not include any provision for
exemptions required under the DCA, such as the exemption from the payment of DCs for
industrial buildings. Such legislated exemptions, or other exemptions that Council may
choose to provide, will result in loss of DC revenue for the affected types of development.
However, any such revenue loss may not be made up by offsetting increases in other
portions of the calculated charge.
A.
UNADJUSTED DEVELOPMENT CHARGES CALCULATION
A summary of the "unadjusted" residential and non-residential DCs is presented in Tables 5
and 6 for general and engineered services, respectively. Further details of the calculations
for each individual service category are available in Appendices B and C.
i.
General Services
A summary of the "unadjusted" residential and non-residential DCs for general services is
presented in Table 5.
The net capital forecast for the ten-year services totals $17.20 million and incorporates
those projects identified to be related to the development anticipated in the next ten years.
However, not all of the capital costs are to be recovered from new development by way of
DCs. As shown on Table 5, 54 per cent, or $9.25 million relates to replacement of existing
capital facilities or for shares of projects that provide benefit to the existing community.
These portions of capital costs will have to be funded from non-DC revenue sources, largely
property taxes for this group of services.
Calculated Development Charges | 22
An additional share of $543,600 has been identified as available DC reserve funds and
represents the revenue collected from previous DCs. This portion has been netted out of
the chargeable capital costs.
Other development related shares of $2.04 million have been identified and is largely
attributable to development beyond 2030. This development-related share has been
removed from the calculation and may therefore be recovered under future DC studies.
The total costs eligible for recovery through DCs for ten-year services is $5.36 million. This
amount is allocated between the residential and non-residential sectors to derive the
unadjusted DCs. Parks & Recreation is deemed to benefit residential development only,
while the remaining services are allocated between both sectors based on shares of
population and employment growth in new space. The allocation to the residential sector
for these services is calculated at 80 per cent and 20 per cent to the non-residential sector.
Approximately $4.93 million of the general services DC eligible capital program is deemed to
benefit residential development. When this amount is divided by the ten-year growth in
population in new dwelling units (3,031), an unadjusted charge of $1,628.19 per capita
results. The non-residential share totals $428,100 which yields an unadjusted charge of
$12.51 per square metre when divided by the ten-year increase in non-residential building
space (34,224).

Engineered Services
Table 6 displays the calculation of the unadjusted DC rates for the engineered services of
Services Related to a Highway (Roads & Related and Public Works - Buildings & Fleet) and
Stormwater Management. The development-related engineering infrastructure will be used
to service development in Loyalist between 2021 and 2030.
Of the total net municipal cost of all engineered services development-related projects,
$10.06 million, not all are to be recovered from new development by way of DCs. Table 6
shows that $1.72 million of the capital program relates to replacement of existing capital
works or for shares of projects that provide benefit to the existing community. This amount
has been netted off the chargeable capital costs.
Available reserve funds in the amount of $1.99 million, have also been removed from the DC
calculation. Other development related shares have been calculated at $1.30 million and
represent the shares of projects that will provide benefit to development beyond 2030 in the
Township. These shares have also been removed from the DC calculation. The remaining
$5.05 million is related to development in the 2021 to 2030 planning period and has been
included in the DC calculation.
Like the general services, the capital program eligible for recovery through DCs is allocated
to the residential and non-residential sectors based on future shares of population in new
units and employment growth over the planning period. On this basis, the allocation to the
residential and non-residential sectors is calculated at 80 and 20 per cent, respectively. For
Roads & Related services, the non-residential share of the development-related costs has
been further allocated between industrial and non-industrial land uses. The non-industrial
costs are allocated between the land use types consistent with the allocation in the last
study (based on trip generation that would be generated by the forecast new non-
residential development over the period from 2021-2030) plus employment growth within
the sectors. The result is an allocation of 30 per cent to industrial and 70 per cent to all
other non-industrial land uses.
As a result, $4.04 million of the engineered services capital program is deemed to benefit
residential development. When this amount is divided by the long-term growth in population
in new dwelling units (3,031) results in an unadjusted charge of $1,333.16 per capita.
The non-residential share totals $1.01 million. Both Public Works - Buildings & Fleet and
Stormwater Management are divided by total ten-year growth in square metres of 34,224.
Roads & Related is broken down between Industrial development (with ten-year growth of
22,270) and Non-Industrial development (11,953) which yields a charge of $23.23 and
$41.21, respectively.

Adjusted Residential and Non-Residential Development Charges
Final adjustments to the "unadjusted" DC rates are made through a cash flow analysis for
all services. The analysis, details of which are included in the appendices, considers the
borrowing cost and interest earnings associated with the timing of expenditures and DC
receipts for each service category.
Table 7 summarizes the results of the cash flow adjustments for the Township-wide
residential DC rates. The adjusted per capita rate increases by $271 from $2,961 per capita
to $3,233 per capita after the cash flow analysis for the residential DC.
Table 7 also provides the calculated rates by residential unit. As shown in the table, the
proposed urban residential charge ranges from $8,957 for a single- or semi-detached unit to
$5,432 for apartments. The proposed charge for rows and other multiples is $6,953 per unit.
For the non-residential development charges, the non-industrial rate experiences an
increase of $2.37 from $53.72 to $56.09 after cash flow considerations as shown in Table 8.
The unadjusted industrial charge of $35.74 increases by $2.70 to arrive at an adjusted
charge of $38.44.

7. COMPARISON OF CALCULATED AND CURRENT
DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
Table 9 presents a comparison of the newly calculated residential DCs with the Townshipʼs
current charges. The calculated residential DC for a single- or semi-detached unit is $8,957,
or 56 per cent greater than the Townshipʼs residential charge currently in force of $5,746.
Tables 10 and 11 outline the comparison of current vs calculated non-industrial and
industrial development charges in the Township. As per Table 10, the calculated rate non-
industrial rate of $56.09 is $25.11 (or 81 per cent) higher than the Townshipʼs current
charge of $30.98 per square metre. The calculated industrial DC of $38.44 in Table 11 is
$17.22 (or 81 per cent) higher than the current charge of $21.22 per square metre.

8. COST OF GROWTH ANALYSIS
This section provides a brief examination of the long-term capital and operating costs as
well as the asset management-related annual provisions for the capital facilities and
infrastructure to be included in the DC By-law. This examination is required as one of the
provisions of the DCA. Additional details on the cost of growth analysis, including asset
management analysis is included in Appendix E.
A.
ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN
Table 12 provides the calculated annual asset management contribution for the gross
capital expenditures by 2031 and the share related to the 2021-2030 DC recoverable
portion. The year 2031 has been included to calculate the annual contribution for the 2021-
2030 period as the expenditures in 2030 will not trigger asset management contributions
until 2031. As shown in Table 12, by 2031, the Township should fund an additional $254,900
per annum in order to fund the full life cycle costs of the new assets related to the
Township-wide ten-year Services supported under the development charges by-law.
B.
LONG-TERM CAPITAL AND OPERATING COSTS

Cost of Growth Analysis | 32
By 2030, the Townshipʼs net operating costs are estimated to increase by $1.02 million. It is
noted that operating costs associated with major facilities will be reviewed and updated
through future studies and plans.
Appendix E also summarizes the components of the development related capital program
that will require funding from non-development charge sources. Of the $27.26 million in the
2021-2030 net capital program cost, about $10.97 million will need to be financed from non-
development charge sources over the next ten years. This is entirely related to shares of
projects related to capital replacement and for non-development shares of projects that
provide benefit to the existing (BTE) community.
Council is made aware of these factors so that they understand the financial implications of
the quantum and timing of the projects included in the development related capital forecast
in this study.
C.
THE PROGRAM IS DEEMED TO BE FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE
In summary, the asset management plan and long-term capital and operating analysis
contained in Appendix E demonstrates that the Township can afford to invest and operate
the identified general and engineered services infrastructure over the ten-year planning
period.
Importantly, the Townshipʼs annual budget review allows staff to continue to monitor and
implement mitigating measures should the program become less sustainable.

9. OTHER ISSUES AND CONSIDERATIONS
A.
CONSIDERATION FOR AREA RATING
In accordance with the DCA, Council must give consideration to the use of area rating, also
known as area-specific development charges. As part of the DC Background Study, the
appropriateness of implementing area-specific development charges for the various
Township services was examined.
The DCA permits the Township to designate in its DC by-law, the areas where development
charges shall be imposed. The charges may apply to all lands in the Township or to other
designated development areas as specified in the DC by-law.
The following was considered with respect to area-specific development charges:
Is the use of area-specific charges appropriate for some or all services?
Are there any data limitations with calculating an area-specific development
charge?
Area-specific development charges are typically considered when there is clear benefit to a
particular area (including the population or population and employment), and have been
implemented mostly in stand alone green field developments.
Based on discussions with staff, and the analysis of the delivery of services, it is proposed
that the Township continue to calculate and collect DCs on a uniform, Township-wide
basis. The rationale for maintaining a uniform Township-wide approach is based primarily
on the fact that 10-year historical service levels can be calculated on a Township-wide
basis to ensure the emplacement of a service or infrastructure in one particular area of the
Township does not exceed the service level of that specific community. As well, Township-
wide DCs ensure a consistent approach to financing the cost of development-related
projects, from both a DC and non-DC revenue source perspective. Finally, an attempt to
impose area-specific DCs to a DC regime which has imposed municipal-wide DCs for a long
length of time would cause equity issues during transitions.
Other Issues and Considerations | 35
B.
LOCAL SERVICE POLICY
The Townshipʼs local service policy is currently under review and will be administered under
a separate document at a later date. In accordance with the Act, this policy document will
be attached to this 2021 DC Background study at a future date.
APPENDIX A
DEVELOPMENT FORECAST
Appendix A: Development Forecast | 36
RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT FORECAST
A.
BACKGROUND
This appendix provides details about the development forecasts that were used in the
preparation of the Development Charges Background Study for Loyalist Township. The
forecast described herein is consistent with governing legislation and represents the best
estimate of the amount and type of development that is likely to occur in the Township from
2021 to 2030. The results of the forecasts are provided in a series of tables.
The Development Charges Act (the DCA) requires the Township to estimate "the
anticipated amount, type and location of development" for which development charges may
be imposed. The development forecast must cover both residential and non-residential
development and be specific enough with regards to the quantum, type, location and timing
of development to allow the Township to prepare a reasonable development-related capital
program. The development charges development forecast is based on estimates of growth
occurring within the Townshipʼs approved development areas. This is consistent with
provincial regulations that require development charges forecasts to be based on
development areas approved in a municipalityʼs Official Plan.
B.
HISTORICAL GROWTH
Loyalist has experienced consistent growth over the last 10 years (see Table 1). The
Township has averaged 96 units per year of housing growth and the population has
increased by approximately 1,765 people from 2011 to 2020. The Townshipʼs estimated
2020 population was approximately 17,000. The population numbers referenced throughout
the Background Study are based on Census population and does not include Census
undercoverage (which is estimated at 3 per cent). The population growth rate has been
slightly less than the growth in households as a result of the decline in the average number
of persons residing in dwelling units, a trend that is expected to continue. It is important to
note that the penitentiary population, which is included in census data has been removed
from our historical and forecast population for the purpose of calculating development
charges for the Township.
Appendix A: Development Forecast | 37
The Township has experienced an increase employment over the last 10 years. Overall,
there was an addition of 1,380 employees over the historical ten-year period. In 2020, about
4,370 people were employed in the community. The activity rate has remained steady as
both population growth and employment growth have seen increases since 2012.
Employment numbers used in Table 1 are based on Statistics Canada place of work data.
Place of work employment figures record where people work rather than their place of
residence. The employment figures shown in this table include workers with no fixed
address. However, work-at-home employment is excluded from the figures, for development
charge purposes, as this type of employment does not require building floorspace for its
activities.
Table 2 provides historical housing activity data from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing
Corporation between 2011 and 2020. The number of housing completions by dwelling unit
type and the resulting percentages are shown. This table illustrates that nearly 73% of all
new recently completed housing units in the municipality are of a single and semi-detached
unit type. Although, the type of dwelling units recently completed are still predominately of
single and semi-detached unit form, the share of total single and semi-detached units in
the municipality is shifting to more medium density unit forms (Table 3).
Occupancy levels for single and semi-detached, row and other multiple and apartment units
in Loyalist are provided in Table 4. The overall average occupancy level in Loyalist was 2.43
persons per unit (PPU). For the purposes of calculating the population residing in new
dwelling units over the 5-year by-law, the following PPU values were used:
Singles/Semis
2.77
Rows and Other Multiples
2.15
Apartments
1.68
The chosen PPU values for single and semi-detached units and row/multiples resemble the
2006-2016 average presented in Table 4. The apartment PPU in new units used in the
Development Charges Study is generally consistent with the total average occupancy levels
for apartments in the Township as a result of the limited new construction data available for
these unit types.
C.
LOYALIST DEVELOPMENT FORECAST
Forecasts of population, housing units, employment and non-residential floor space were
prepared as part of the Background Study. In this Study, a ten-year planning period from
Appendix A: Development Forecast | 38
2021-2030 has been used to calculate development charges for all services provided by the
Township.
Forecasts of households, population and employment are based on the Population, Housing
and Employment Projections to 2046 report prepared by Hemson Consulting in 2019. In
general, population and household growth are expected to follow recent trends in the ten-
year period from 2021-2030.
i.
Residential Forecast
The residential forecast is based on a forecast of households and population in the
Township. The allocation of the development-related capital costs between the residential
and non-residential sector, is based on forecasts of population in new housing units and
employment growth. The population in new housing units was estimated based on
Statistics Canada special run of data for occupancy patterns of household unit types by
period of construction and recent trends.
The population and occupied household growth, in part, determines the need for additional
facilities and provides the foundation for the development-related capital program. Table 5
summarizes the population and household forecast. The tables show that the Townshipʼs
net population (or Census population) is forecast to increase over the ten-year forecast
period by 2,000 persons, from 16,953 in 2020 to 18,948 in 2030. Further, the number of
occupied households will increase by 1,230, from 6,846 in 2020 to 8,076 in 2030.
Approximately 54% of all new household growth will be in the form of single and semi-
detached unit types (Table 6). This pattern of housing growth would represent somewhat
higher density housing than the pattern experienced in the Township over the last ten
years. Such a pattern is, however, in keeping with planning policies and recent market
trends aimed at increasing intensification.
In addition to the net population forecast, a forecast of "population in new households" that
will result from the addition of new housing units has been identified. As shown in Table 7,
population growth in new households is estimated by applying persons per unit (PPUs)
values to the housing unit forecast. PPU values were 2.77 for single and semi-detached
units; 2.15 for rows and other multiples; and 1.68 for apartments. The forecasted persons in
newly constructed units are based upon the historical time series of population growth in
housing in the last ten-year Census period (2006-2016) as released in the 2016 National
Household Survey for single and semi-detached units and multiples and historical trends for
apartments. In total, 3,031 is the forecasted population in new dwelling units over the ten-
year planning period.
Appendix A: Development Forecast | 39
ii.
Non-Residential Forecast
Non-residential development charges are calculated on a per square metre of gross floor
area (GFA) basis. Therefore, as per the DCA, a forecast of non-residential building space
has been developed. As with the residential forecast, a growth forecast from 2021 to 2030
has been developed.
Table 8 illustrates that total employment is forecast to grow by 489 employees over the ten-
year forecast period from 2021 to 2030. The forecast is split between three types of
employment:
Population Related Employment, which is employment that primarily serves a
resident population and includes retail, education, healthcare, and local
government. This generally grows in line with population growth and is located on a
range of commercial and community area designations.
Employment Land Employment, which refers to traditional industrial-type
employment primarily accommodated in low-rise industrial buildings in business
parks and employment areas. This is the type of employment that would locate on
designated industrial lands.
Other Rural Based Employment, which refers to jobs scattered throughout the
rural area, primarily related to agricultural and primary industries.
These new employees can be accommodated in about 34,220 square meters of new non-
residential floor space (as shown in Table 9).
Employment densities have been used to convert the employment forecast into building
space estimates. An assumed Floor Space per Worker (FSW) is applied to the new
employment forecast numbers in order to estimate growth in non-residential space across
the Township. The FSW assumption used herein is 55 m2 per employee for population
related employees and 95 m2 per employee for employment land-related employees. The
employment and floor space forecasts for the Township are summarized in Tables 8 and 9.

DEVELOPMENT CHARGES CALCULATIONS
TECHNICAL APPENDIX INTRODUCTION AND
OVERVIEW
This appendix provides the detailed analysis undertaken to establish the development
charges rates for each of the services in Loyalist Township. The appendix has one section
for each of the following services:
Sub-Section
Service
Appendix B.1
Emergency Services
Appendix B.2
Parks & Recreation
Appendix B.3
Development-Related Studies
Every sub-section contains a set of three tables, with the exception of Development-
Related Studies. The tables provide the background data and analysis undertaken to arrive
at the calculated development charge rates for that particular service. An overview of the
content and purpose of each of the tables is provided below.
TABLE 1
HISTORICAL SERVICE LEVELS
Table 1 presents the data used to determine the ten-year historical service level. The
Development Charges Act (DCA) and Ontario Regulation 82/98 require that development
charges be set at a level no higher than the average service level provided in the
municipality over the ten-year period immediately preceding the preparation of the
background study, on a service by service basis. For the purpose of this study, the historical
inventory period is defined as 2011 to 2020.
O. Reg. 82/98 requires that, when defining and determining historical service levels, both
the quantity and quality of service be taken into consideration. In most cases, the service
levels are initially established in quantitative terms. For example, service levels for buildings
are presented in terms of square feet per unit. The qualitative aspect is introduced by
considering the monetary value of the facility or service. In the case of buildings, for
example, the cost would be shown in terms of cost per square foot to replace or construct a
facility of the same quality. This approach helps to ensure that the development-related
capital facilities that are to be funded by new development reflect not only the quantity
(number and size), but also the quality (value or cost) of service provided by the Township
in the past. Both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of service levels used in the
Appendix B: General Services Technical Appendix | 51
current analysis are based on information provided by Township staff. This information is
generally based on historical records and experience with costs to acquire or construct
similar facilities, equipment and infrastructure.
The final page of Table 1 shows the calculation of the "maximum allowable funding
envelope". The maximum allowable funding envelope is defined as the ten-year historical
service level (expressed as either $/capita or $/capita and employment) multiplied by the
forecast increase in net population or net population and employment over the planning
period. The resulting figure is the value of capital infrastructure that would have to be
constructed for that particular service so that the ten-year historic service level is
maintained.
TABLE 2
2021-2030 DEVELOPMENT RELATED CAPITAL PROGRAM
AND CALCULATION OF THE "UNADJUSTED"
DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
The DCA requires the Council of the Township to express its intent to provide future capital
facilities at the level incorporated in the development charges calculation. Based on the
development forecasts presented in Appendix A, Township staff in collaboration with the
consultant has prepared a development-related capital forecast which sets out those
projects that are required to service anticipated development for the ten-year period from
2021 to 2030. The development-related capital programs for each service are shown in
Table 2 of each sub-section and Table 1 for Development-Related Studies.
To determine the share of the program that is eligible for recovery through development
charges, the gross project costs are reduced by any anticipated grants, subsidies or other
recoveries, and "benefit to existing" shares for all capital costs.
A benefit to existing share represents the portion of a capital project that will benefit the
existing community. It could, for example, represent a portion of a new facility that will, at
least in part, replace a facility that is demolished, redeployed or will otherwise not be
available to serve its former function (a "replacement" share). The benefit to existing share
of the capital program is not deemed to be development-related and is therefore removed
from the development charge calculation. The capital cost for benefit to existing shares will
require funding from non-development charge sources, typically property taxes or user fees.
The capital program, less any replacement shares or benefit to existing shares, yields the
development-related costs. Although deemed development-related, not all of the net
development-related capital program may be recoverable from development charges in the
Appendix B: General Services Technical Appendix | 52
period from 2021 to 2030. For some services, existing development charge reserve funds
may be available to fund a share of the program.
Additionally, for some services, a portion of the capital program will service development
that will not occur until after 2030. This portion of the capital program is deemed "pre-built"
service capacity and is considered as committed excess capacity to be recovered under
future development charges, or is a service level increase.
The remaining portion of the net capital program represents the development-related cost
that may be included in the development charge calculation. In all cases this amount is
equal to or less than the maximum allowable funding envelope that is calculated on the
final page of Table 1. The result is the discounted development-related net capital costs
eligible for recovery against growth over the forecast period from 2021 to 2030.
Calculation of the Unadjusted Development Charges Rates
The section below the capital program displays the calculation of the unadjusted
development charges rates. The term "unadjusted" development charges is used to
distinguish the charge that is calculated prior to cash flow financing consideration. The
cash flow analysis is shown in Table 3.
The first step when determining the unadjusted development charges rates is to allocate
the development-related net capital costs between the residential and the non-residential
sectors. For all services, except Parks & Recreation, the development-related costs have
been determined to be 80 per cent residential and 20 per cent non-residential. This ratio is
based on projected changes in population and employment in new non-residential space
over the planning period, anticipated demand for services, and other considerations.
The development-related costs associated with Parks & Recreation has been allocated 100
per cent to the residential sector, as the need for this service is driven by residential
development.
The residential development-related costs are then divided by the forecast population
growth in new dwelling units. This gives the unadjusted residential development charge per
capita. The non-residential growth-related costs are divided by the forecast increase in
non-residential gross floor area (GFA). This yields a charge per square metre of new non-
residential GFA.
Appendix B: General Services Technical Appendix | 53
TABLE 3
CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
A cash flow analysis is also undertaken to account for the timing of projects and receipt of
development charges. Interest earnings or borrowing costs are, therefore, accounted for in
the calculation as allowed under the DCA. Based on the growth forecast, the analysis
calculates the development charges rate that is required to finance the net development-
related capital spending plan including provisions for any borrowing costs or interest
earnings on the reserve funds. The cash flow analysis is designed so that the closing cash
balance at the end of the planning period is as close to nil as possible.
In order to determine appropriate development charges rates reflecting borrowing and
earnings necessary to support the net growth-related funding requirement, assumptions are
used for the inflation rate and interest rate. An inflation rate of 2.0 per cent is used for the
funding requirements, an interest rate of 3.5 per cent is used for positive opening balances,
and a rate of 5.5 per cent is used for negative opening balances.
Table 3 displays the results of the cash flow analysis and provides the adjusted or final per
capita residential and per square metre (of GFA) non-residential development charges.
Appendix B: General Services Technical Appendix | 54
APPENDIX B.1
EMERGENCY SERVICES
Appendix B: General Services Technical Appendix | 55
EMERGENCY SERVICES
Loyalist Emergency Services is responsible for the provision of fire suppression and rescue,
prevention, public education, administration, communications, training and emergency
management. The Department maintains four fire stations and various training facilities
located within the Township.
TABLE 1
HISTORICAL SERVICE LEVELS
The Table 1 displays the Emergency Services ten-year historical inventory for buildings,
land, materials, and furniture and equipment. The newest fire station in Loyalist Township,
the Amherstview Fire Station, replaced an existing station and was oversized in part to
service the increase in need arising from development over the 2021-2030 planning period.
Council expressed its intent to fund the oversizing from development charges. To comply
with the DCA, the oversized portion of the facility has been removed from the historical
inventory of capital assets. In this way, none of the maximum allowable funding envelope to
be used to pay for the oversizing will have been created by the oversizing. The capital costs
related to the oversizing are represented by recovery of the remaining cost for the facility
which has been included in the 2021-2030 development-related capital program.
The Emergency Services inventory of capital assets includes four fire stations and four fire
support buildings including three training centres, a burn room and a training shed. These
building are valued at approximately $8.50 million and occupy roughly 7.4 hectares of land
which is valued at about $1.29 million. The 25 vehicles associated with the fire stations in
Loyalist Township have a replacement value of $7.78 million. Personal firefighting
equipment, communications equipment, breathing apparatuses and other station and
vehicle equipment add another $1.52 million to the inventory.
The current value of the total Emergency Services capital infrastructure including buildings,
land, vehicles, furniture and equipment is valued at approximately $19.08 million and has
provided Loyalist with a ten-year average historical service level of $902.26 per capita and
employment. This, when multiplied by the net population and employment growth (2,484)
from 2021-2030, results in a calculated maximum allowable funding envelope of $2.24
million.
Appendix B: General Services Technical Appendix | 56
TABLE 2
2021-2030 DEVELOPMENT-RELATED CAPITAL PROGRAM
& CALCULATION OF THE "UNADJUSTED" DEVELOPMENT
CHARGES
The 2021 to 2030 development-related capital program recovers for outstanding debenture
payments ($648,000) associated with the construction of the Amherstview Fire Station. It is
important to note that only a portion of the debenture payments have been included in the
Emergency Services capital program to reflect that a share of the payments relate to the
replacement of the decommissioned station. Therefore, the debenture payments included in
the capital program only reflects the development charge eligible related component. Only
the principle portions of the debenture payments have been identified in the program;
interest costs have been included in the cash flow calculations (Table 3).
In addition to recovering for the costs related to the new fire station, the Township has
identified a provision for an internal loan payback for an aerial fire vehicle at a cost of
$526,000. The Township will be expanding the Odessa Station at a cost of $2.0 million and
adding additional extrication equipment at $40,000. The Township also intends to undertake
a Fire Master Plan in 2021 for $5,000.
Altogether, the ten-year capital forecast for Emergency Services amounts to $3.22 million.
As a share of the costs associated with the expansion of the Odessa Station is largely
related to the existing space and therefore a replacement share equal to 75% (or $1.50
million) is considered to be funded from non-DC sources and netted off of the development
charges calculation. The remaining $1.72 million is related to development occurring
between 2021 and 2030 and is included in the development charge calculation.
The development-related cost is allocated 80 per cent, or $1.37 million, against new residential
development, and 20 per cent, or $343,300, against non-residential development. This yields an
unadjusted development charge of $453.13 per capita and $10.03 per square metre.
TABLE 3
CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
After cash flow consideration, the residential calculated charge increases to $493.05 per
capita and the non-residential charge increases to $10.85 per square metre.

PARKS & RECREATION
Loyalist Township Recreation Services Division manages a variety of facilities, programs,
services and special events for all ages. The Division oversees the activities associated with
the W.J Henderson Recreation Centre, Amherstview Community Hall/Leisure & Activity
Centre, and Wilton Hall. The Township is also responsible for various park facilities
including sport fields, tennis and basketball courts, an outdoor rink, and 60 hectares of
parkland.
TABLE 1
HISTORICAL SERVICE LEVELS
The ten-year historical inventory of capital assets for Parks & Recreation includes 63,400
square feet of indoor recreation building space. The largest of these facilities include the W.
J. Henderson Recreation Centre and the Amherstview Community Hall/Leisure & Activity
Centre. The current replacement value for the buildings amounts to $19.15 million and the
land associated with the buildings occupy over 5.74 hectares of land, which is valued at
roughly $1.0 million. Vehicles and equipment used by the Recreation Services Division
totals $1.61 million.
Loyalist Township has 27.38 hectares of community parkland which is valued at
approximately $1.08 million. An additional 32.20 hectares of local parkland in Loyalist has
been developed by the private sector, and in accordance with the DCA, has been removed
from the historical service level calculation. In addition to parkland, the Township offers
outdoor recreation by way of ball diamonds, soccer fields, basketball courts,
tennis/pickleball courts, and an outdoor rink. The total value of these parks facilities
amounts to approximately $2.63 million. Special facilities such as picnic shelters, multi-
purpose facilities, boat ramps, park bridges and play structures add $1.49 million to the
parks inventory. An additional $289,000 is included for Township paid walkways and
development on local parks.
The combined value of capital assets for Parks & Recreation is approximately $27.25
million. The ten-year historical average service level is $1,615.19 per capita, and this,
multiplied by the ten-year forecast growth in population (1,995), results in a maximum
allowable funding envelope of $3.22 million.
Appendix B: General Services Technical Appendix | 66
TABLE 2
2021-2030 DEVELOPMENT-RELATED CAPITAL PROGRAM
& CALCULATION OF THE "UNADJUSTED" DEVELOPMENT
CHARGES
The 2021-2030 development-related capital program for Parks & Recreation amounts to
approximately $28.22 million, of which, $25.60 million is related to the Community Hub
phase 1 development in 2022. Other projects in the capital program include the Recreation
Maintenance Garage Expansion ($1.05 million) and various vehicles and equipment
($159,000). The ten-year development-related capital program also includes the
development of a park located in Amherstview, Babcock Mill Park, a Dog Park, and an
Outdoor Splash Park at a combined cost of $1.35 million. The Township also intends to
undertake a Parks & Recreation Master Plan in 2027 for $60,000.
The Township has applied for grant funding, equal to $15.0 million, to help offset the
construction cost of the Community Hub - at this time, the grant funding is not confirmed,
but assumed to be an integral funding source for this project should the application be
accepted. After grant consideration, this reduces the gross program to $13.22 million. Of the
total $13.22 million net municipal cost, approximately $7.32 million of the Community Hub
project cost has been identified as replacement and benefit to existing community share -
this amount will not be funded from development charges. Additional replacement and
benefit to existing shares for other projects amount to about $288,800 and have been
removed from the calculation of the DC. Approximately, $348,000 is available in the Parks &
Recreation DC reserve fund and will be used to fund a portion of the Recreation
Maintenance Garage expansion and the Amherst Drive Park Trees and Frisbee Golf Park
amenity.
A significant component of the program, $2.04 million, is considered to benefit the post-
2030 population. This portion of the capital program is related to the Community Hub
development in 2022, new mower in 2024, Babcock Mill Park and Dog Park in 2022/2023,
outdoor splash park in 2028, and the Parks & Recreation Master Plan in 2027.
It is important to note that less than 10 per cent (or $2.38 million) of the total community
hub development cost of $25.60 million is being funded through development charges in
this ten-year period. Also, any phase 2 works associated with the Community Hub is not
considered in this DC Background Study but may be revisited in the next DC Study (or
sooner) should the scope of this project be further defined.
Appendix B: General Services Technical Appendix | 67
The 2021 to 2030 costs eligible for recovery from development charges amount to $3.22
million, which is allocated entirely against future residential development in the Township.
This results in an unadjusted development charge of $1,063.19 per capita.
TABLE 3
CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
After cash flow consideration, the calculated residential charge increases to $1,209.10 per
capita.

development charge.

DEVELOPMENT-RELATED STUDIES
The DCA allows the cost of development-related studies to be included in the calculation of
the development charges as long as they are permitted under the legislation.
TABLE 1
2021-2030 DEVELOPMENT-RELATED CAPITAL PROGRAM
& CALCULATION OF THE "UNADJUSTED" DEVELOPMENT
CHARGES
As shown in Table 1, the 2021-2030 development-related gross cost for development-
related studies is $756,800. The capital program relates to various development-related
studies, including future development charges studies, updates to the Townships Official
Plan and Zoning By-law, a settlement area/growth projection study update and other
development related studies.
Recognizing that not all projects under this service are entirely a result of new growth in the
Township, "benefit to existing" shares have been netted off the total cost. These shares
have been calculated at 50 per cent of applicable studies and amount to $137,500, which
will not be recovered through development charges.
An amount of $195,500 is available in the Development-Related Studies reserves, which are
used to offset the cost of two studies. The remaining $423,800 is brought forward to the
development charges calculation. The development-related cost is allocated 80 per cent, or
$339,000, against new residential development, and 20 per cent, or $84,800, against new
non-residential development. This yields an unadjusted development charge of $111.87 per
capita and $2.48 per square metre.
TABLE 2
CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
The cash-flow analysis is displayed in Table 2. It considers timing of the development
charges revenues to determine the adjusted calculated rates. After cash flow
considerations, the residential charge increases to $121.11 charge per capita and the non-
residential charge increases to $2.67 per square metre. The following table summarizes the
calculation of the Development-Related Studies development charge.

SERVICES RELATED TO A HIGHWAY: ROADS &
RELATED TECHNICAL APPENDIX
This appendix provides a detailed analysis of the municipal engineered infrastructure,
namely roads and related. The roads and related infrastructure includes the roads
themselves as well as sidewalks, streetlighting and transportation studies.
The development-related roads and related infrastructure are projects required to service
the demands of new development over the period 2021-2030. Over this period, it is
anticipated that the Township will experience an increase of 3,031 persons in new dwelling
units. This forecast is discussed in more detail in Appendix A.
The following tables set out the 2021 to 2030 development-related capital forecast and the
calculation of the development charge for Roads & Related infrastructure. The cost,
quantum and description of the projects included in the forecast have been provided by
Township staff, and other capital planning documents. This section of the appendix
identifies the necessary Roads & Related infrastructure to allow the Township to meet the
servicing needs of the forecast 2030 population and employment.
SERVICES RELATED TO A HIGHWAY: ROADS & RELATED
Tables 1, 2 and 3 provide details of the projects included in the Township-wide Services
Related to a Highway: Roads & Related engineered infrastructure development charges
calculation. The content of the tables is as follows:

Roads & Related Capital Program 2021-2030
Table 3

TABLE 1
HISTORICAL SERVICE LEVELS
Table 1 outlines the Township's inventory of capital assets for Roads & Related services.
The Township has a total of approximately 507 lane kilometres with a total value of $127.05
million broken out between high class and low class bitumen as well as gravel roads.
Appendix C: Engineered Services Technical Appendix | 88
Bridges and Culverts add an additional $35.39 million to the total inventory while Sidewalks
account for a total of $25.02 million. Lastly, other Roads & Related assets such as
streetlights and road network signs add another $5.09 million to the total asset inventory.
The current value of the Roads & Related capital infrastructure is valued at approximately
$192.55 million and has provided Loyalist with a ten-year average historical service level of
$9,371.90 per capita and employment. This, when multiplied by the net population and
employment growth (2,484) from 2021 to 2030 results in a calculated maximum allowable
funding envelope of $23.28 million.
TABLE 2
2021-2030 DEVELOPMENT-RELATED CAPITAL PROGRAM
& CALCULATIONS OF THE "UNADJUSTED"
DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
The total cost of the Roads & Related capital program is $5.56 million (Table 2) and
provides for the undertaking of various road upgrades, the construction of new sidewalks,
street lighting works and an Infrastructure Master Plan. Also included for in the capital
program is a provision for growth-related road works (i.e. roads, curbs, sidewalks,)
anticipated as part of the development of the Amherstview West Secondary Plan area to
complement the development anticipated to commence in this planning period. It is
expected that a more detailed list of capital requirements, including costs and timing, will
be prepared as the developments begin to unfold. Of the total project costs, approximately
$685,000 has been identified as projects that will be funded directly by the developer and
are removed from the development charge calculation. This list is currently being refined
and may be adjusted in a future consolidated version of this Study. Other grants and
subsidies totalling $704,700 have been removed from the calculation. An additional
$812,800 has been identified as a replacement/benefit to existing share, which will be
funded from non-development charge sources. This benefit to existing component is largely
related to roadwork and street lighting projects. The Township has approximately $1.37
million in available Roads & Related DC reserves to offset the cost of the projects, these
funds are applied to the projects in the initial years of the program. The table below
provides a high-level summary of the gross project costs of the program versus the amount
eligible for recovery through development charges in this period.

*After existing reserve funds are considered
The total development-related Roads & Related capital program for the 2021-2030 period is
$1.99 million, as shown on Table 2. The development-related costs have been allocated 80
per cent, or $1.59 million, to residential development and 20 per cent, or $398,700, to non-
residential development. The allocation of costs is based on shares of population and
employment growth over the planning period from 2021-2030.
The non-residential share of the development-related costs has been further allocated
between industrial and non-industrial land uses. The non-industrial costs are allocated
between the land use types consistent with the allocation in the last study (based on trip
generation that would be generated by the forecast new non-residential development over
the period from 2021-2030) plus employment growth within the sectors. The result is an
allocation of 30 per cent to industrial and 70 per cent to all other non-industrial land uses.
The residential costs are recovered against the population growth in new dwelling units
over the period 2021-2030 of 3,031 persons yielding an unadjusted charge of $526.23 per
capita. The non-residential costs are recovered against the forecast development in non-
residential floor area over the period 2021-2030 of 34,224 square metres. The non-
residential growth is assumed to occur 30 per cent (22,270 square metre) to industrial and
70 per cent (11,953 square metre) to the non-industrial sector.
The industrial costs are recovered against the growth in industrial floor area over the 2021-
2030 period of 22,270 square metres yielding an unadjusted charge of $5.37 square metre.
The non-industrial costs are recovered against the growth in non-industrial area over the
2021-2030 period of 11,953 square metres yielding an unadjusted charge of $23.35 square
metre.

TABLE 3
CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
After cash flow consideration, the residential calculated charge decreases to $518.17 per
capita. The non-industrial charge decreases to $22.92 per square metre and the industrial
charge also sees a slight decrease to $5.27 per square metre.

Appendix C: Engineered Services Technical Appendix | 99
SERVICES RELATED TO A HIGHWAY: PUBLIC
WORKS - BUILDINGS & FLEET
The Services Related to a Highway: Public Works - Buildings and Fleet division has
responsibility for the maintenance of the storm sewer systems, sidewalks, streets, including
winter control, and bridges and culverts.
TABLE 1
HISTORICAL SERVICE LEVELS
The ten-year historical inventory of capital assets for Public Works - Buildings & Fleet
includes approximately 54,800 square feet of building space with a replacement value of
$8.09 million. The 9.2 hectares of land associated with the Public Works buildings are
valued at $1.60 million. The fleet owned and operated by the Public Works division staff
also add an additional $8.77 million to the value of the capital assets.
The total value of the Public Works capital infrastructure is estimated to be $18.46 million.
The ten-year historical average service level is $862.13 per capita and employment, and
multiplied by the ten-year forecast of net population and employment growth, results in a
maximum allowable of $2.14 million.
TABLE 2
2021-2030 DEVELOPMENT-RELATED CAPITAL PROGRAM
& CALCULATIONS OF THE "UNADJUSTED"
DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
The ten-year development-related capital plan for Public Works - Buildings & Fleet is
largely related to the garage expansion and cold storage building at a cost of $3.89 million
in 2021 and 2023. The capital program also includes for the acquisition of seven public
works vehicles: two sidewalk plows, three pickup trucks, a loader, and a bucket truck for a
total cost of $939,000.
Altogether, the ten-year capital forecast for Public Works - Buildings & Fleet amounts to
$4.83 million. No grants, subsidies or other recoveries have been identified for this service.
In total, replacement shares have been identified for the garage expansion and cold storage
buildings, and the bucket truck totalling $897,400. The BTE for the garage expansion relates
to costs which the Township is incurring that are unrelated to the expansion of space to
expand the servicing capacity but rather updates to the existing building. The Township also
Appendix C: Engineered Services Technical Appendix | 100
has approximately $491,200 available in the Public Works DC reserve fund to help offset the
cost of the capital program. Another portion of the program, $1.30 million, is considered to
benefit the post-2030 population which can be recovered in subsequent development
charge studies. The remaining $2.14 million is then brought forward to the development
charges calculation.
The development-related cost is allocated 80 per cent, or $1.71 million, against new
residential development, and 20 per cent, or $428,300, against non-residential development.
This yields an unadjusted development charge of $565.27 per capita and $12.51 per square
metre.
TABLE 3
CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
After cash flow consideration, the calculated residential charge increases to $650.23 per
capita and the non-residential charge increases to $14.31 per square metre.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT TECHNICAL
APPENDIX
Services relating to storm water management are deemed to provide a Township-wide
benefit, and as such, are calculated on that basis for the purpose of the development
charge. The planning period from 2021-2030 has been used for the purposes of the
development charges calculation.
Tables 1 and 2 provide details of the projects included in the Stormwater Management
engineered infrastructure development charges calculation. The content of the tables is as
follows:
Table 1
Stormwater Management Capital Program 2021-2030
Table 2
Residential and Non-Residential Cash Flow
TABLE 1
2021-2030 DEVELOPMENT-RELATED CAPITAL PROGRAM
AND CALCULATION OF UNADJUSTED DEVELOPMENT
CHARGES
The development-related capital program for Stormwater Management totals $1.66 million
and includes a provision for a Stormwater Servicing Feasibility Study, the development of
stormwater management infrastructure on County Road #6, various storm-related works
and developer funded upsizing of Amherst Drive in front of the fire station. In total,
developer contributions amount to $602,500 and a replacement share of $10,000 has been
identified for the Stormwater Servicing Feasibility Study. The Township also has
approximately $130,900 available in the Stormwater Management DC reserve fund to help
offset the cost of the capital program. The remaining development-related capital program
of approximately $915,500 is therefore eligible for recovery from development occurring
within the 2021-2030 planning period.
The development-related capital costs are allocated 80 per cent, or $732,400, against
residential development and 20 per cent, or $183,100, against non-residential development
based on the shares of residential and non-residential development occurring over the
planning period. This yields unadjusted development charge rates of $241.66 per capita and
$5.35 per square metre, respectively.
Appendix C: Engineered Services Technical Appendix | 109
TABLE 2
CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
After cash flow considerations, the residential rates increase to $242.12 per capita and the
non-residential rate decreases slightly to $5.34 per square metre of GFA.

DEVELOPMENT CHARGES RESERVE FUND
The Development Charges Act requires that a reserve fund be established for each service
for which development charges are collected. Table 1 presents the uncommitted reserve
fund balances that are available to help fund the development-related net capital costs
identified in the Study. The opening balances of the development charges reserve funds as
at December 31, 2020. All of the available reserve fund balances are therefore accounted
for in the Study.
As shown on Table 1, the December 31, 2020 total reserve fund balance was approximately
$2.53 million. It is important to note that this amount excludes the negative reserve fund
balance for Emergency Services to ensure accurate accountability of the capital program.
The application of the available monies in each of the reserve funds is discussed in the
appendix section related to each service. These funds are assigned to projects in the initial
years of the capital program for each service. This has the effect of reducing and deferring
capital costs brought forward to the development charge calculation and the cash flow
analysis.

COST OF GROWTH ANALYSIS
A.
ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Development Charges Act, 1997 now requires that municipalities complete an Asset
Management Plan before passing a development charges by-law. A key function of the
Asset Management Plan is to demonstrate that all assets proposed to be funded under the
development charges by-law are financially sustainable over their full life-cycle.
i.
Asset Types
A summary of the future Township-owned assets and estimated useful life assumptions for
eligible DC services considered as part of the study are outlined in Table 1. Although all
capital assets considered in the study have been identified, not all assets necessitate future
replacement or ongoing maintenance activities. Some projects do not relate to the
emplacement of a tangible capital asset - some examples include the acquisition of land,
recovery of completed projects or the undertaking of development-related studies. These
projects/costs do not necessarily require future replacement or ongoing maintenance.
Such projects are identified as "not infrastructure" in the table.
It should be noted that the capital cost estimates prepared for each of the projects
identified in this section include grouped costs of various individual elements, which, as a
stand-alone item, may have its own useful life (ex. New buildings include: HVAC, structural
elements, roof, etc.). Accordingly, the average useful life assumptions noted below are
applicable to all project components.

No annual provisions have been identified for Development-Related Studies as the plan
updates and studies included are not infrastructure and therefore have no long-term
financial requirements.
ii.
Annual Provision
When assets require rehabilitation or are due for replacement, the source of funds is limited
to reserves or contributions from operating. Capital expenditures to carry out the
rehabilitation and replacement of aging infrastructure are not growth-related and are
therefore not eligible for funding through development charge revenues or other developer
contributions.
Based on the useful life assumptions and the capital cost of acquiring and/or emplacing
each asset, a provision for infrastructure replacement has been calculated for both the
general and engineered services. Provisions for infrastructure replacement are initially
calculated for each asset based on their useful life and the anticipated cost of replacement.
The aggregate of all individual provisions form the required annual capital provision. In
calculating the annual provisions, a number of assumptions are made to account for
inflation (2.0 per cent) and interest (3.5 per cent).
Consistent with the requirements of the DCA, assets that are proposed to be funded under
the development charges by-law have been included in the analysis. As a result, the total
calculated annual provision for development charge related infrastructure has been netted
down to consider the replacement of existing infrastructure or benefit-to-existing
development. However, for reference, the annual replacement provisions associated with
Appendix E: Cost of Growth | 119
the non-development charge funded costs, including costs related to the benefit-to-existing
and post-period benefit have also been calculated.
Table 2 provides the calculated annual asset management contribution for both the gross
capital expenditures by 2031 and the share related to the 2021-2030 DC recoverable
portion. The year 2031 has been included to calculate the annual contribution for the 2021-
2030 period as the expenditures in 2030 will not trigger asset management contributions
until 2031. As shown in Table 2, by 2031, the Township will need to fund an additional
$254,900 in order to properly fund the full life cycle costs of the new assets related to all
services supported under the development charges by-law.
iii.
Future Revenue Growth
The calculated annual funding provision should be considered within the context of the
Township's projected growth. Over the next ten years, the Township is projected to
increase by approximately 1,229 households. In addition, the Township will also add about
489 new employees that will result in approximately 34,224 square metres of additional
non-residential building space.
This growth will have the effect of increasing the overall assessment base. This leads to
additional user fee and charge revenues to offset the capital asset provisions required to
replace the infrastructure proposed to be funded under the development charges by-law.
The collection of these funds is intended to be allocated to the Township's reserves for
future replacement of these assets.

LONG-TERM CAPITAL AND OPERATING IMPACTS
As shown in Table 3, by 2030, the Township's net operating costs are estimated to increase
by $1.02 million for property tax supported services. It is important to note that associated
operating costs of major facilities will be reviewed and updated through future studies and
plans. Increases in net operating costs will be experienced as facilities undergo expansions
of space, such as the Community Hub, addition of new buildings (public works garage),
additions to the Township's roadway network and acquisition of fleet.

Notes:
(1) No impact
(2) Existing development charge reserve fund balances collected from growth prior to 2021
are applied to fund initial projects in development-related capital forecast.
(3) Post period development-related net capital costs may be eligible for development
charge funding in future DC by-laws.

Table 4 summarizes the components of the development-related capital forecast that will
require funding from non-DC sources (e.g. property tax). In total, $10.97 million will need to
be financed from non-DC sources over the 2021-2030 planning period and is related to
facilities and infrastructure that will benefit the existing community. In addition, $3.34
million in interim DC financing related to other development related shares of projects may
be required. With that said, in order to carry out the capital program debt may be issued for
various DC eligible costs to be later be paid for through development charge collections.
However, because DC By-laws must be revisited at least every five years, it is difficult to
determine the quantum of interim financing that may be necessary. This share of works can
also be funded from other growth-related funding mechanisms such as Community Benefit
Charges (CBC) should the Township choose to implement a CBC by-law.
Council is made aware of these factors so that they understand the operating and capital
costs that will not be covered by DCs as it adopts the development-related capital forecast
set out in the study.
C.
THE PROGRAM IS DEEMED FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE
In summary, the asset management plan and long-term capital and operating analysis
included in this appendix demonstrates that the Township can afford to invest and operate
the identified general and engineered services infrastructure over the ten-year planning
period.
Importantly, the Township's annual budget review allows staff to continue to monitor and
implement mitigating measures should the program become less sustainable.
