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:

5) Net capital costs are then allocated between residential and non-
residential development types; and
6) Net costs divided by the anticipated development to provide the D.C.
3. Subsequent to the passage of the Town's current D.C. by-law, a number of
amendments to the D.C.A. have taken place. These changes have been
incorporated throughout the report and in the draft by-law, as necessary. The

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 6-5 of the D.C. Background Study.
In total, gross capital costs of approximately $205.29 million are forecast for the
10-year by-law term. These capital costs have been identified through
discussion with Town staff. A portion of these capital costs, $18.42 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 $84.68 million related to the portion of capital projects that will
benefit the existing development, $12.96 million related to anticipated grants,
subsidies, and other contributions, and $108,000 relates to the portion of capital
costs that are related to D.C.-ineligible services.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.

Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
The resultant net D.C.-recoverable costs included in the calculations for capital
works anticipated over the 10-year forecast period totals approximately $89.12
million, of which $76.76 million is attributed to the forecast residential
development and $12.36 million allocated to the forecast non-residential
development.

6. At present, the Town imposes D.C.s on both residential and non-residential
developments on a Town-wide basis and area specific basis. 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 September 16, 2024.
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).

Note that 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 Orangeville (Town) retained Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
(Watson), to undertake the development charges (D.C.) background study and by-law
process in 2024. This background study has been prepared pursuant to the
requirements of the Development Charges Act, 1997 (D.C.A.), as amended, 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
interested parties 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 and amend the background study (as
required) based on public feedback, for the release of 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 G 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
September 16, 2024. Its purpose is to present the study to the public and to solicit

public input. The 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 August 8, 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.

1.3 Changes to the Development Charges Act, 1997
Following the adoption of the Town's existing D.C. by-laws, a number of changes to the
D.C.A. have been introduced through various legislation including the following:
- Bill 108: More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019;
- Bill 138: Plan to Build Ontario Together Act, 2019;

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 108: More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019
The Province introduced Bill 108, More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 which proposed
changes to the D.C.A. as part of the province's "More Homes, More Choice: Ontario's
Housing Supply Action Plan." The More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 received Royal
Assent on June 6, 2019. At that time many of the amendments to the D.C.A. did not
come into effect, awaiting proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor.
On January 1, 2020, the following provisions were proclaimed:
- A D.C. for rental housing and institutional developments will pay the charge in six
equal annual instalments, with the first payment commencing on the date of
occupancy. Non-profit housing developments will pay D.C.s in 21 equal annual
payments (note, that further changes related to non-profit housing have been
made under the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, summarized below). Any
unpaid D.C. amounts may be added to the property and collected as taxes.
- For all developments triggering a D.C. within two years of a Site Plan or Zoning
By-law Amendment planning approval, the D.C. shall be determined based on
the charges in effect on the date the planning application was submitted. These
provisions only apply to Site Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment planning

applications received on or after January 1, 2020. These amendments do not
affect developments approved under other planning application types (e.g., plan
of subdivision, minor variance, etc.).
- The removal of the 10% statutory deduction for soft services, i.e., services limited
to a 10-year forecast period.
1.3.2 Bill 138: Plan to Build Ontario Together Act, 2019
The Plan to Build Ontario Together Act, 2019 provided further amendments to the
D.C.A. and Planning Act. This Act received Royal Assent on December 10, 2019.
Proclamation resulted in the sections related to the D.C.A. (schedule 10) coming into
effect on January 1, 2020. The amendments to the D.C.A. included the removal of
instalment payments for commercial and industrial developments that were originally
included in the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019.
1.3.3 Bill 197: COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, 2020
In response to the global pandemic that began affecting Ontario in early 2020, the
Province released Bill 197, COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, 2020, which provided
amendments to a number of statues, including the D.C.A. and Planning Act. The
COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act further revised some of the proposed changes
identified in the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 and Plan to Build Ontario
Together Act, 2019. The COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, 2020 received Royal
Assent on July 21, 2020, and was proclaimed on September 18, 2020. The following
provides a summary of the amendments to the D.C.A.:
1.3.3.1 List of D.C.-Eligible Services
The D.C.A. previously defined ineligible services for D.C.s. The amendments to the
D.C.A. now defined the services that are eligible for inclusion in a D.C. by-law. The

1.3.3.2 Classes of D.C. Services
Prior to the amendments, the D.C.A. allowed for categories of services to be grouped
together into a minimum of two categories, i.e., 90% services and 100% services. The
amendments repealed these rules and replaced them with the following provisions:
- A D.C. by-law may provide for any eligible service or capital cost related to any
eligible service to be included in a class as set out in the by-law.
- A class may be composed of any number or combination of services and may
include parts or portions of the eligible services or parts or portions of the capital
costs in respect of those services.
- A class of service set out in the D.C. by-law is deemed to be a single service with
respect to reserve funds, use of monies, and credits.
1.3.3.3 Statutory Exemptions
The D.C.A. provides for statutory exemptions from payment of D.C.s related to
additional residential units, where the development is creating additional residential
dwelling units within prescribed classes of existing residential buildings or structures.
This statutory exemption has been expanded to include secondary residential dwelling
units, in prescribed classes, that are ancillary to existing residential buildings.

H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
Furthermore, additional statutory exemptions are provided for the creation of a second
dwelling unit in prescribed classes of proposed new residential buildings, including

residential units have been made under the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022,
summarized below.
1.3.4 Bill 213: Better for People, Smarter for Business Act, 2020
On December 8, 2020, the Better for People, Smarter for Business Act, 2020 received
Royal Assent. One of the changes of this Act amended the Ministry of Training,
Colleges and Universities Act by exempting the developments of land intended for use
by a university that receives operating funds from the Government from the payment of
D.C.s. As a result, this mandatory exemption is included in the Town's draft D.C. by-
law.
1.3.5 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.

1.3.6 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.
The following provides a summary of the amendments to the D.C.A.:
1.3.6.1 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.
1.3.6.2 Removal of Housing as an Eligible D.C. Service
Housing was removed as an eligible service. Municipalities with by-laws that include a
charge for housing services can no longer collect for this service.
1.3.6.3 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:

rent as defined by a new bulletin published by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs
and Housing.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 1-8
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
- 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

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.
1.3.6.4 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.
1.3.6.5 Revised Definition of Capital Costs
The definition of capital costs has been revised to remove studies. Furthermore, the
regulations to 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.
1.3.6.6 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

1.3.6.7 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 a
maximum of five years.
1.3.6.8 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.
1.3.6.9 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.
1.3.6.10 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.
1.3.6.11 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 the regulation.

1.3.7 Bill 97: Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023
The Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act (Bill 97) received Royal Assent on
June 8, 2023. This bill 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.
1.3.8 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" (Bulletin). This Bulletin informs 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 and will be updated by the Province annually.
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 was released on May 1, 2024 and it provides information for the
Town to assess a development's eligibility for the exemption (as well as C.B.C. and
Parkland requirements) which came into effect on June 1, 2024. The current Bulletin
provides the following information specific to the Town (it is noted that the Bulletin will
be updated annually):
- For Affordable Ownership Units: Table 1-2 indicates the average household
income in the Town provides the amount to be measured against as the 90% of
average purchase prices is greater for detached dwelling units and
row/townhouse dwelling units. For all dwelling unit types, the average household
income provides the amount to measure against 90% of the average purchase
price in the Town (note applicable thresholds are in bold font).

household income in the Town and therefore, provides the amount to be
measured against, being where monthly rent is lower than the average market

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

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

Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
3. Anticipated Development in the Town of
Orangeville
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 of Orangeville will be
required to provide services over a 10-year (mid-2024 to mid-2034) and a longer-term
(mid-2024 to buildout) time horizon.[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 Town staff.
In preparing the growth forecast, the following information sources were consulted to
assess the residential and non-residential development potential for the Town of
Orangeville over the forecast period, including:
- Dufferin County 2022 Official Plan Review and Municipal Comprehensive Review
Draft Land Needs Analysis Report, WSP Canada, July 2022;
- Town of Orangeville 2019 Development Charges Study, June 27, 2019, by
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.;
- 2011, 2016 and 2021 population, household, and employment Census data;
- Historical residential and non-residential building permit data over the 2014 to
2023 period;
- Residential and non-residential supply opportunities as identified by Town staff;
and
[1] Buildout refers to the urban area, and has been assessed for designated urban lands
and servicing capacity.

Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
Provided below is a summary of the key assumptions and findings regarding the Town's
D.C. growth forecast:
- Unit Mix (Appendix A - Schedules 1, 5 and 6)
o The housing unit mix for the Town was derived from a detailed review of
historical development activity (as per Schedule 5), 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 mid-2024 to mid-2034 household
growth forecast for the Town is comprised of a unit mix of 28% low density
units (single detached and semi-detached), 38% medium density
(multiples except apartments) and 34% 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 2, 3 and 4):
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 2024 to 2034
forecast period, the Town is anticipated to average approximately 121 new
housing units per year.
o Institutional population[1] is anticipated to increase by approximately 40
people between 2024 to 2034.
o Population in new units is derived from Schedules 2, 3 and 4 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 7a summarizes the average P.P.U. assumed for new housing
units by age and type of dwelling based on Statistics Canada 2021 custom
[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
Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
Census data for the Town. Due to data limitations high density P.P.U.
data was derived from the County of Dufferin which includes the Town of
Orangeville and is outlined in Schedule 7b. 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.
Forecast 25-year average P.P.U.s by dwelling type are as follows:
- Low density:
3.162
- Medium density:
2.611
- High density:
1.792
- Existing Units and Population Change (Appendix A - Schedules 2, 3 and 4):
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 2).
o The change in average occupancy levels for existing housing units is
calculated in Schedules 2 through 4.[1] The forecast population change in
existing households over the mid-2024 to mid-2034 forecast period is
forecast to decline by approximately 540.
- Employment (Appendix A - Schedules 9a, 9b and 9c):
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[2], [3] (place of work) for the Town is outlined in
Schedule 9a. 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
Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
- 35 primary (<1%);
- 840 work at home employment (7%);
- 2,113 industrial (18%);
- 5,788 commercial/population-related (49%); and
- 2,965 institutional (25%).
o The mid-2016 employment by usual place of work, including work at
home, is 11,740. An additional 2,335 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 15,320 by mid-2034 and 16,060 by
buildout. This represents an employment increase of approximately 780
for the 10-year forecast period and 1,520 for the longer-term forecast
period.
o Schedule 9b, 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.
[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."
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 3-9
Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
o Total employment for the Town (excluding work at home and N.F.P.O.W.
employment) is anticipated to reach approximately 11,630 by mid-2034
and 12,000 by buildout. This represents an employment increase of 440
for the 10-year forecast period and 810 for the longer-term forecast
period.[1]
- Non-Residential Sq.ft. Estimates (G.F.A.), (Appendix A - Schedule 9b):
o Square footage estimates were calculated in Schedule 9b based on the
following employee density assumptions:
- 1,200 sq.ft. per employee for industrial;
- 500 sq.ft. per employee for commercial/population-related; and
- 675 sq.ft. per employee for institutional employment.
o The Town-wide incremental G.F.A. is anticipated to increase by
approximately 360,700 sq.ft. over the 10-year forecast period and 686,300
over the longer-term forecast period.
o In terms of percentage growth, the 2024 to 2034 incremental G.F.A.
forecast by sector is broken down as follows:
- Industrial - 66%;
- Commercial/population-related - 23%; and
- Institutional - 11%.
- Land Supply for Area Specific Service Calculations
o The Town's 2009 DC Background Study identified the developable land
supply for specific areas specific capital needs. Chapter 5 of this DC
Background Study (section 5.4) summarizes the specific capital projects
for area specific recovery. The following Table 3-2 summarizes the
residential, industrial, commercial and institutional land supply for which
these charges are calculated.
[1] G.F.A. and employment associated within special care institutional dwellings treated
as residential, resulting in an institutional employment difference between Schedules 9a
and 9b. Total employment growth in Schedule 9b (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 9b is
anticipated to reach approximately 11,610 by mid-2034 and 11,960 by buildout.

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.

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.

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 4-6
Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
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; and
e. interest on money borrowed to pay for the above-referenced costs (including the
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 master servicing/needs studies, the prior D.C. study, and discussions
with Town staff.
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
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 4-7
Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
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. Currently the growth-related
studies have been provided as a class of services.
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)."
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.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 4-8
Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
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, less
outstanding commitments related to prior years capital approvals is provided in Table 4-
2. These balances have been considered in the D.C. calculations:

- 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."
"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
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 4-10
Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
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.
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
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 4-11
Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
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 to
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.
The calculated D.C.s herein are based on a Town-wide basis for the following services:
- Services Related to a Highway;
- Fire Protection Services:
- Transit Services;
- Parks and Recreation Services;
- Library Services;
- Policing Services;
- Water Services;
- Wastewater Services; and
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 4-12
Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
- Stormwater Services.
In addition, there are a number of capital works required that benefit specific
developments, these works are calculated on an area-specific basis for the following
services:
- Services Related to a Highway;
- Water Services;
- Wastewater Services; and
- Stormwater Services.
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 (as noted in the subsequent subsection); 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.
4.13 Transit
The Act prescribes the following related to the transit services calculations:
A. Transit no longer requires the statutory 10% mandatory deduction from the net
capital cost (subsection 5.2 (i) of the D.C.A.).
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 4-13
Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report
B. The background study requires the following in regard to transit costs (as per
subsection 8 (2) of the regulations):
1. The calculations that were used to prepare the estimate for the planned level of
service for transit services, as mentioned in subsection 5.2 (3) of the Act.
2. An identification of the portion of the total estimated capital cost relating to the
transit services that would benefit,
i.
the anticipated development over the 10-year period immediately following
the preparation of the background study, or
ii.
the anticipated development after the 10-year period immediately following
the preparation of the background study.
3. An identification of the anticipated excess capacity that would exist at the end of
the 10-year period immediately following the preparation of the background
study.
4. An assessment of ridership forecasts for all modes of transit services proposed
to be funded by the D.C. over the 10-year period immediately following the
preparation of the background study, categorized by development types, and
whether the forecast ridership will be from existing or planned development.
5. An assessment of the ridership capacity for all modes of transit services
proposed to be funded by the D.C. over the 10-year period immediately following
the preparation of the background study.
C. A new forward-looking service standard (as per subsection 6.1 (2) of the regulations)
requires the following:
1. The service is a discrete service.
2. No portion of the service that is intended to benefit anticipated development after
the 10-year period immediately following the preparation of the background study
may be included in the estimate.
3. No portion of the service that is anticipated to exist as excess capacity at the end
of the 10-year period immediately following the preparation of the background
study may be included in the estimate.
D. A very detailed asset management strategy and reporting requirements (subsection
6.1 (3) of the regulation) that includes lifecycle costs, action plans that will enable the
assets to be sustainable, a summary of how to achieve the proposed level of
service, discussion on procurement measures and risk are required.

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
D.C. Calculation
5.2.1 Transit Services
Ontario Regulation 82/98 sets forth the requirements for transit services and the
available capacity of capital costs to provide for the increase in need. Subsection 8(2)
of the regulation states that for transit services the background study shall set out:
1. "The calculations that were used to prepare the estimate for the planned level of
service for the transit services, as mentioned in subsection 5.2 (3) of the Act.
2. An identification of the portion of the total estimated capital cost relating to the
transit services that would benefit,

4. An assessment of ridership forecasts for all modes of transit services proposed
to be funded by the D.C. over the 10-year period immediately following the
preparation of the background study, categorized by development types, and
whether the forecasted ridership will be from existing or planned development.
5. An assessment of the ridership capacity for all modes of transit services
proposed to be funded by the D.C. over the 10-year period immediately following
the preparation of the background study."
The Town's 2016 Transit Optimization Study identified a planned level of service for
transit in terms of a target transportation ridership per capita of 8.58 by 2033. This
represents an increase from its current level of service of 7.45 ridership per capita in
2023. Table 5-1 summarizes the annual ridership forecast over the 2024-2033 period to
achieve the ridership per capita planned level of service. On this basis, the Town's
current ridership of 225,000 is forecast to increase to 281,250 by 2033. This equates to
56,250 incremental rides per year by the end of the 10-year forecast period.
Recognizing that many of these trips would be as a result of existing constituents
changing their mode preference, approximately 22,235 of the incremental trips (or 40%)
are attributed to new development occurring over the period.

Ridership Forecast
The Town has identified various capital projects needed to service the anticipated
growth in the 10-year forecast period. This includes the need for additional buses, new
bus shelters, additional bus equipment, signage, and transit shelters.
As shown in Table 5-2, the gross capital costs for the transit program totals
approximately $2.34 million. The Transit D.C. reserve fund has a deficit balance of
approximately $79,800 for growth-related needs undertaken through prior-year capital
approvals. This amount has also been added to the gross capital cost estimate. Of the
total amount, a deduction related to the benefit to the existing community has been
made of $984,700, which is based on the allocation of future ridership within the
planned level of service projections.
As a result, approximately $1.44 million has been identified as D.C. recoverable capital
costs attributable to development over the 10-year forecast period. Based on the
relationship of incremental population to employment growth over the forecast period,
these costs have been allocated 86% to residential development, and 14% to non-
residential development. As such, the costs for residential development are
approximately $1.24 million and for non-residential development, the apportioned costs
are approximately $0.20 million.

5.2.2 Parks and Recreation Services
The Town provides a variety of parks and recreation-related assets to service the
community. A summary of the inventory is provided below:
- 51.83 hectares of parkland space which includes various different sized parks
and parkettes, along with off-leash dog parks;
- 173 outdoor park amenities including playgrounds, baseball diamonds, soccer
fields, benches, etc.;
- 15,800 linear metres of paths and trails which are comprised of a mix of asphalt,
gravel, and concrete material;
- 243,463 sq.ft. of recreation facility space, which includes pools, ice surfaces,
community rooms, designated operations centre space for parks and recreation
services, recreation centres, etc.; and
- 55 vehicles and equipment, including ice resurfacers, mowers, and trucks,
related to parks and recreation services.
Based on the level of investment, the average level of service provided has been
$7,864 per capita. In total, the maximum D.C.-eligible amount for parks and recreation
services over the 10-year forecast period is $19.72 million.
Table 5-3 provides the capital program for parks and recreation services for the 10-year
forecast period. The capital program includes projects related to parkland development
and trails, the need for additional vehicles and equipment, facility expansions, and
growth-related debt. In total, the gross capital cost included in the D.C. calculation is
approximately $22.76 million. Deductions related to the post period benefit and benefit
to the existing community have been made for approximately $5.75 million and $2.85
million, respectively. Furthermore, a deduction for the existing reserve fund balance of
$1.64 million, approximately, was also made. It should be noted that daycare services
are no longer eligible to be included in D.C.s, therefore, the remaining balance in the
daycare reserve fund has been allocated to further reduce the parks and recreation
services capital program needs to be recovered from future growth. Hence, a deduction
of $142,783 has been made to deduct the remaining childcare D.C. reserve fund
balance.
Therefore, the total D.C. eligible cost included in the calculations is $12.12 million,
approximately. As the predominant users of parks and recreation services tend to be
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 5-5
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
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. This
results in approximately $11.52 million, and $0.61 million being allocated to residential
and non-residential developments, respectively
5.2.3 Library Services
The Town provides library services through 2 libraries, the Orangeville Public Library
located on 1 Mill Street and Alder Street Library. In total, both libraries provide 19,094
sq.ft. of library space for the community. The collection items contained within the
library consists of various items, including books, periodicals, electronic items, e-
readers, etc. totaling 231,007 items. Based on the level of investment, the average
level of service provided has been $682 per capita. In total, the maximum D.C.-eligible
amount for library services over the 10-year forecast period is approximately $1.71
million.
Table 5-4 provides the capital program for library services for the 10-year forecast
period. The Town has identified the need of various capital projects over the forecast
period include additional collection items, expansion of furniture, fixtures, and
equipment, and other security inventory devices, along with additional facility space and
upgrades. The gross capital cost for the capital program, along with the year end 2023
reserve fund deficit balance, totals approximately $1.71 million. A deduction related to
the costs that will benefit the existing community in the amount of $98,400 has been
made along with a deduction for $18,365 related to grants anticipated by the Town.
As a result, the total D.C.-recoverable cost included in the calculation of the charge is
approximately $1.59 million. Similar to parks and recreation services, the forecast D.C.-
recoverable costs have been allocated 95% to residential development and 5% to non-
residential development. Therefore, $1,514,108, and $79,690 has been allocated to
future residential and non-residential development types, respectively.
5.2.4 Growth-Related Studies (Class of Service)
The D.C.A. as amended through Bill 185 allows the cost of studies to be recovered from
D.C.s. The growth-related studies identified for inclusion are as follows:
- Development Charge Studies;

existing development of approximately $1.07 million, and grants, subsidies and other
contributions attributable to new development of $83,280, have been made. In addition,
the 2023 year-end reserve fund deficit has been added in the amount of $306,858.
Therefore, the net D.C.-recoverable cost of approximately $3.58 million has been
included for calculation purposes. Table 5-5 provides the summary of the class of
service for growth studies.

PAGE 5-7
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
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.
Planning related studies and future D.C. background studies have been allocated to the
services in the following manner:
- Services Related to a Highway - 24.77%
- Fire Protection Services - 3.61%
- Policing Services - 0.72%
- Transit Services - 1.51%
- Parks and Recreation Services - 12.71%
- Library Services - 1.67%
- Water Services - 27.27%
- Wastewater Services - 21.52%
- Stormwater Drainage Services - 6.23%
The allocation of the net growth-related costs between residential and non-residential
development is based on the residential and non-residential allocations for each service
area and are presented in Table 5-6 (i.e. 87% residential and 13% non-residential).

5.3 Service Levels and Build-out Capital Costs for Town-
wide D.C. Calculation
This section evaluates the development-related capital requirements for Town services
under a buildout planning period.
5.3.1 Services Related to a Highway
The Town's current inventory of roadways is measured in lane kilometers (km) and
includes 87.54 km of collector roads and 9.43 km of arterial roads, for a total of 96.96
km. Additionally, the Town owns and maintains 16 bridges and culverts along with 137
km of sidewalks, 25 traffic signals, and 2,650 streetlights. Furthermore, 23,881 sq.ft. of
roads operations facility space is owned and used by the Town for services related to a
highway, along with approximately 67 vehicles and equipment items to service the road
network. The total inventory of assets over the past 15 years results in an invested
level of service of $11,806 per capita. When applied to the buildout forecast population,
a maximum D.C.-eligible cost of approximately $60.12 million is applicable.
Table 5-7 provides the buildout capital program for services related to a highway. The
capital program includes various capital project anticipated to take place during the
forecast period such as oversizing and upgrades to existing roads to accommodate
growth, additional traffic signals and vehicles, expansion to facilities such as the
operations centre, and other road resurfacing programs, to service growth. As such, the
total gross capital cost of the program and the existing Roads and Related D.C. reserve
fund deficit totals approximately $54.9 million over the forecast period. A deduction
related to the benefit to the existing development has been applied for approximately
$26.46 million. Further, a deduction related to grants, subsidies and other contributions
has been made for $6.33 million.
As a result, the total D.C.-recoverable cost of approximately $22.11 million has been
included in the calculation of the charge. Of that, approximately $19.24 million (87%)
and $2.87 million (13%) have been attributed to residential and non-residential
developments, respectfully. These attributions are based on the incremental growth
anticipated in population and employment over the buildout forecast period.

5.3.2 Fire Protection Services
The Town currently provides fire protection services to its community through a number
of facilities, including Dawson Road Station including training building, sea-cans, and
the fire prevention building (located at 120 Diane Dr.). In total, there are 4 sea-cans and
12,023 sq.ft. of fire facilities space. Further, the Town owns 14 fire vehicles along with
58 equipment and small gear items for outfitting firefighters and other fire staff to
provide fire protection services to its community. The total inventory of assets over the
past 15 years results in an invested level of service of $677 per capita. When applied to
the buildout forecast population, a maximum D.C.-eligible cost of approximately $3.45
million is applicable.
The capital program for fire protection services over the buildout planning horizon is
provided in Table 5-8. Capital projects such as the provision for a new fire station,
additional command staff and vehicles, along with additional equipment and gear have
been identified. As such, a total gross capital cost of approximately $30.72 million over
the buildout forecast period has been identified. In addition to this amount, $357,051
related to the existing 2023 year-end deficit balance in the Fire D.C. reserve fund, has
been included. Deductions related to the post period benefit of approximately $12.67
million and benefit to the existing community of approximately $10.94 million have been
made. Additionally, the Town anticipates grant funding of approximately $3.67 million
related to the fire station expansion, this amount has also been deducted from the total
costs.
As such, the total D.C. eligible cost included in the calculation of the charge is
approximately $3.44 million. The residential development cost share totals $2,996,455
(87%) and non-residential development cost share totals $447,746 (13%). The
allocation of D.C.-recoverable costs by type of development is based on the incremental
population and employment growth over the period.
5.3.3 Policing Services
Policing Services for the Town are provided by Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.). As
such, the Town pays their proportionate share of capital costs. Currently, the police
headquarters occupies 14,425 sq.ft. of building space provided by the Town and has
approximately 12 vehicles equipped with prisoner cages and interior equipment, along
with radios to provide services to the Town. Prior to contracting policing services
through O.P.P., the Town provided their own police services (until 2021). During the
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 5-16
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
2009 to 2021 historical period, the Town also provides for their own radio infrastructure
for policing. Over the 2021 to 2023 period, the proportionate share of the O.P.P.
services for the Town were based on 41.58% of the O.P.P.s budget for the
municipalities being serviced. As such, the Town contributes to approximately 42
equipped uniform security officers related to equipment and gear. The total investment
for the historical level of service equates to $409 per capita. When applied to the
buildout forecast population, a maximum D.C. eligible cost of approximately $2.09
million is included in the D.C.
The capital program for Policing Services is provided in Table 5-9. It includes the costs
related to the growth-related debt payments and the existing deficit in the Police D.C.
reserve fund. As such, the gross capital cost totals approximately $769,600.
Deductions related to the post-period benefit and benefit to the existing community have
been made of $3,900 and $81,600, respectively.
As a result, the total D.C.-recoverable cost of $684,092, has been included in the
calculation of the charge. Of that, $595,160 (87%) and $88,932 (13%) have been
attributed to residential and non-residential developments, respectfully. These
attributions are based on the incremental growth anticipated in population and
employment over the buildout forecast period.

5.4 Urban Services and Buildout Capital Costs for Town-
wide D.C. Calculation
This section evaluates the development-related capital requirements for urban services
to be charged on a Town-wide basis over the buildout period.
5.4.1 Water Services
The anticipated capital needs that have been identified for the Town-wide water
services to meet the needs of development over the forecast period include a new
elevated storage facility, the development of additional water supply capacity through
new wells, conservation efforts, and system optimization, along with well treatment
upgrades.
As shown in Table 5-10, the gross capital costs for the forecast period total
approximately $46.37 million. Deductions related to the benefit to the existing
community have been made for approximately $12.4 million, along with a deduction for
the existing reserve fund balance of approximately $8.42 million. Furthermore,
approximately $1.92 million has been deduction for additional grants the Town is
anticipating.
As such, approximately $23.63 million has been included in the calculation of the
charge. Approximately $21.03 million (89%) has been attributed to residential
development and $2.60 million (11%) has been apportioned to non-residential
development. The allocations are based on estimated design flows required for
incremental development over the forecast period.
5.4.2 Wastewater Services
The anticipated capital needs for the Town that have been identified for wastewater
services to meet the needs of development over the forecast period include sewer
infiltration reduction projects including flow monitoring, SCADA system implementation,
flood mitigation programs. and the debt payments for the expansion of the water
pollution control plant including a biosolids handling facility.
Table 5-11 provides the capital program for wastewater services, which includes a
gross capital cost estimate of approximately $27.77 million. Deductions related to the
benefit to the existing community have also been made for a total of approximately
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 5-21
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
$8.25 million. In addition, approximately $2.38 million has been deducted related to the
current reserve fund balance. As such, approximately $19.52 million has been included
in the calculation of the charges as the net D.C. recoverable amount. The allocations
are based on estimated design flows required for incremental development over the
forecast period. Resulting in approximately $17.37 million (89%) of the growth-related
capital costs have been allocated to the residential development and approximately
$2.15 million (11%) to the non-residential development.
5.4.3 Stormwater Services
The anticipated capital needs for the Town that have been identified for stormwater
services to meet the needs of development over the forecast period include flood
mitigation implementation projects and pond rehabilitation projects. These projects are
required due to overall growth throughout the Town that are contributing to additional
stormwater and are therefore, to be recovered on a Town-wide basis.
As such, Table 5-12 provides the capital program for stormwater services on a Town-
wide basis. The gross capital cost estimate of all projects is anticipated to be
approximately $9.5 million. A deduction related to the portion of the costs that will
benefit existing development, of approximately $7.13 million, has been made.
Therefore, the total D.C. recoverable cost included in the D.C. is approximately $2.38
million, of which $1.71 million (72%) has been attributed to residential development and
$665,000 (28%) has been attributed to non-residential development, based on the
anticipated land area associated with the new developments.

5.5 Capital Costs for Area-Specific D.C. Calculation
This section evaluates the development-related capital requirements for the area-
specific services under the buildout forecast period of the respective benefitting lands.
The benefitting lands, and the associated net developable areas subject to the various
projects, on an area specific charges have been identified in Table 3-2. The anticipated
development-related capital requirements for each of the four services, are consistent
with the Town's 2009 and 2014 D.C. Background Studies. The area specific D.C.s are
recovered on a per hectare basis of net developable lands that benefit from each of the
projects.
5.5.1 Services Related to a Highway
The area-specific Services Related to a Highway capital program continues to identify
the Hansen Blvd. bridge over Lower Monora Creek. The gross capital cost estimate of
the program is approximately $1.55 million, of which $25,000 has been deducted to
reflect the portion of the project that benefits to the existing population.
Table 5-13 provides the related capital program for the service on an area-specific basis
and notes the benefitting lands that are subject to this charge (see Table 3-2 for a
description and size of the benefitting land areas). The capital cost included in the D.C.
calculations is approximately $1.52 million.
5.5.2 Water Services
Six area specific water projects continue to be carried forward with revised costing to be
recovered on an area specific basis from benefitting lands. While two of the projects
are now complete, not all funding has been recovered from all benefitting lands. Table
5-14 provides the capital program with the updated gross capital cost estimate for
projects totaling approximately $3.82 million, approximately. A deduction related to the
benefit to the existing community has been made of $813,000, along with a deduction
for the local service contributions in the amount of $626,548 are anticipated. Therefore,
approximately $2.38 million has been included in the calculation. As noted, each capital
project benefits various different developments, which have been summarized in Table
5-14 and described in Table 3-2.

H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
5.5.3 Wastewater Services
The capital program for the area-specific wastewater services is provided in Table 5-15.
The program includes a total gross capital cost of $1.08 million, including one project
that is now complete but continues to be recovered for from the benefitting lands. A
deduction related to the benefit to existing community has been made of $71,700 has
been made. As such, the total D.C. eligible cost included in the respective calculation is
$1.01 million. Each of the projects benefit various developments, as described in Table
3-2 and provided in Table 5-15.
5.5.4 Stormwater Services
As provided in Table 5-16, the capital program related to stormwater services includes a
total gross capital cost estimate of all projects of approximately $11.1 million. Projects
that are complete but have not been fully recovered for continue to be included in the
calculations. Deductions related to the benefit to the existing community of
approximately $6.39 million, have been made, along with a deduction related to the
grants, subsidies and other contributions of $126,600. Therefore, the total amount
included in the D.C. calculation for the respective charges is approximately $4.58
million. Each project identifies the benefiting areas, as described in Table 3-2, that are
subject to the corresponding charges, are identified in Table 5-16.

6. Development Charge Calculation
Table 6-1 calculates the proposed D.C.s to be imposed for services over the Town-wide
buildout forecast period. Table 6-2 calculates the proposed D.C.s to be imposed on
anticipated development in the Town for the 10-year forecast period. Further, Table 6-3
provides the calculated Town-wide D.C.s for the respective services. Lastly, Table 6-4
provides the area-specific D.C.s to be charged over the buildout forecast.
The calculation for residential development is generated on a per capita basis and is
based upon five forms of housing types (singles and semi-detached dwellings, multiple
dwellings, bachelor and 1-bedroom apartments, 2+ bedrooms apartments, and special
care/special dwelling units). The non-residential D.C. has been calculated on a uniform
per sq.ft. of G.F.A. basis for all types of non-residential development (industrial,
commercial, and institutional).
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 7) to calculate the charges in Tables 6-1, and 6-2.
For area specific calculations, the cost of each project is divided by the total net
developable hectares for the benefiting lands to provide a D.C. based on a per hectare
basis.
Table 6-5 summarizes the gross capital expenditures and sources of revenue for works
anticipated 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.

H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
7.2 Development Charge By-law Structure
It is recommended that:
- The Town uses a uniform Town-wide D.C. calculation for the following services
and class of services:
o Services Related to a Highway;
o Parks and Recreation Services;
o Library Services;
o Transit Services;
o Fire Protection Services;
o Water Services;
o Wastewater Services; and
o Growth-related Studies (Class of Services);
- That the Town uses an area-specific D.C. calculation for localized works that are
required related to services related to a highway, water services, wastewater
services, and stormwater services; and
- That the Town contains all Town-wide D.C.s and Area Specific D.C.s. in one by-
law.
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;
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 7-3
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
(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.
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 decade. 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., primary, 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 (Town-wide), fire protection services, and
policing services, an 87% residential and 13% non-residential attribution has
been made, to recognize the incremental residential population and non-
residential employment uses projected over the Town-wide buildout forecast
period for both services;
- Parks and recreation services, 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;
- Transit service attributions for residential and non-residential have been
determined based on an 86% residential and 14% non-residential attribution
has been made, to recognize the incremental residential population and
non-residential employment uses projected over the Town's 10-year
forecast period for the service;
- Water and wastewater service attributions (Town-wide) for residential and
non-residential have been determined based on an 89% residential and
11% non-residential attribution has been made, to recognize estimated
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 7-4
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
design flows required for incremental development projected over the
buildout forecast period;
- Stormwater service attributions (Town-wide) for residential and non-
residential have been determined based on a 72% residential and 28% non-
residential, based on the anticipated land area associated with the new
developments;
- For the growth-related studies class of services, the costs related to library
services and parks and recreation services, have been allocated 95% to
residential development and 5% to non-residential development, similar to
the capital costs for these services. All other studies have been allocated
based on the incremental population and employment uses projected over
the forecast periods similar to the specific services. The overall allocation
results in an allocation of 87% to residential and 13% to non-residential; and
- For area specific calculations, the charges are based on a per hectare basis
of net developable lands for both residential and non-residential lands
benefitting lands, on a project-by-project basis.
7.3.3 Application to Redevelopment of Land (Demolition and
Conversion)
Where, as a result of the redevelopment of land, a building or structure existing on the
same land within two years prior to the date of payment of D.C.s in regard to such
redevelopment was, or is to be demolished, in whole or in part, or converted from one
principal use to another principal use on the same land, in order to facilitate the
redevelopment, the D.C.s otherwise payable with respect to such redevelopment shall
be reduced by the following amounts:
- In the case of a residential building or structure, or in the case of a mixed-use
building or structure, the residential uses in the mixed-use building or structure,
an amount calculated by multiplying the applicable D.C. by the number,
according to type, of dwelling units that have been or will be demolished or
converted to another principal use; and
- In the case of a non-residential building or structure or, in the case of mixed-use
building or structure, the non-residential uses in the mixed-use building or
structure, an amount calculated by multiplying the applicable D.C., by the G.F.A.
that has been or will be demolished or converted to another principal use;
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 7-5
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
The demolition/conversion credit is allowed only if the land was improved by occupied
structures, and if the demolition permit related to the site was issued less than 24
months (two years) prior to the issuance of a building permit.
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 additional residential development in existing buildings:
development that results only in the enlargement of an existing dwelling unit, or
that results only in the creation of up to two additional dwelling units (based on
prescribed limits set out in section 2 of O. Reg. 82/98).
- 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 of O. Reg. 82/98).
- 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.
- 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.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 7-6
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
o Residential units intended for use as a rented residential premises not
referred to 1 or 2 above - 15% discount.

- Full exemption for land used in connection to a churchyard, cemetery, burying
ground or burial site that is exempt from taxation under section 3 of the
Assessment Act; and
- 50% exemption for the portion of a place of worship used for worship.
7.3.5 Timing of Collection
The D.C.s for all services and classes are payable upon issuance of a 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 section 27 of the D.C.A.
Rental housing and institutional developments will pay D.C.s in six equal annual

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 after
January 1, 2020, and approved 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. 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.
Installment 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% % as defined in
subsection 26.3(1) of the Act.
7.3.6 Indexing
Indexing of the D.C.s shall be implemented on a mandatory basis annually on the
anniversary date of the by-law, in accordance with the Statistics Canada Quarterly,
Non-Residential Building Construction Price Index, for the most recent year-over-year
period

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 municipal-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
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.

H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
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 services related to a highway, water, wastewater, and stormwater services,
for localized works required to service only specific developing lands. The
recommendations are:
- To continue to apply Town-wide D.C.s for services related to a highway, fire
protection services, policing services, parks and recreation services, library
services, transit services, and growth-related studies;
- To continue to apply Town-wide D.C.s for water, wastewater services and
stormwater urban services; and
- To continue to apply area-specific D.C.s for services related to a highway, water,
wastewater, and stormwater services for the corresponding benefitting areas for
localized works that benefit specific developing lands.
7.4 Other Development Charge By-law Provisions
It is recommended that:
7.4.1 Categories of Services for Reserve Fund and Credit Purposes
The Town's D.C. collections should be contributed into 14 separate reserve funds,
including:
- Services Related to a Highway (Town-wide);
- Fire Protection Services;
- Policing Services;
- Parks and Recreation Services;
- Library Services;
- Transit Services;
- Growth-related Studies (class of service)
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 7-9
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
- Water Services (Town-wide, urban services);
- Wastewater Services (Town-wide, urban services)
- Stormwater Services (Town-wide, urban services);
- Services related to a Highway (area-specific);
- Water Services (area-specific);
- Wastewater Services (area-specific); and
- Stormwater Services (area-specific).
It is also recommended that the existing childcare D.C. reserve fund be closed out and
allocated to the parks and recreation D.C. reserve fund, as this service is no longer
being recovered for.
7.4.2 By-law In-force Date
The by-law will come into force on the day after which the by-law is passed by Council
unless Council determines an alternative date for enactment.
7.4.3 Minimum Interest Rate Paid on Refunds and Charged for Inter-
Reserve Fund Borrowing
The minimum interest rate is the Bank of Canada rate on the day on which the by-law
come into force (as per section 11 of O. Reg. 82/98).
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;"
"Adopt the assumptions contained herein as an 'anticipation' with respect
to capital grants, subsidies, and other contributions;"
"Adopt the D.C. approach to calculate the charges on a Town-wide basis
for services related to a highway, fire protection services, library services,
parks and recreation services, policing services, transit services, water
services, wastewater services, stormwater services, and growth-related
studies (class of services);"

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) (formerly the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal [LPAT]).
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
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
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 the Town's 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.

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 or the mailing of the notice).
Section 10 of O. Reg. 82/98 further defines the notice requirements which are
summarized as follows:
- notice may be given by publication in a newspaper which is (in the Clerk's
opinion) of sufficient circulation to give the public reasonable notice, or by
personal service, fax, or mail to every owner of land in the area to which the by-
law relates;
- 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;
- the "rules" for determining if a charge is payable in a particular case and for
determining the amount of the charge;
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 8-4
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
- 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.

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 and
removes some of the obstacles to their use which were contained in the Development
Charges Act, 1989. 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."
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 8-6
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
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,
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.

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.

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.

Appendix D: Development Charge Reserve
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
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
- 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
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
- 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 set out the 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.

Definitions
"Complete street" is the concept whereby a highway is planned, designed, operated and
maintained to enable pedestrians, cyclists, public transit users and motorists to move
safely and efficiently.
"Road" includes a common of or public highway and any facilities within a municipally
owned road allowance including but 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; stormwater drainage
systems; utilities (gas, telephone, hydro, cable, etc.); traffic control systems; street and

Asset Management Plan

PAGE F-2
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
Appendix F: Asset Management Plan
The recent changes to the Development Charges Act, 1997, as amended (D.C.A.) (new
subsection 10 (2) (c.2)) require 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 amendments to the D.C.A. do 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
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE F-4
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
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 2022 for its existing
core infrastructure assets; however, it did not take into account 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 to 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 $14.3 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
$8.9 million. This additional revenue would increase the existing revenues from
$72.44 million to 81.34 million.
6. In consideration of the above, once annual debt payments are paid off, the
capital plan is deemed to be financially sustainable.

replacement cost, where data is readily available. Asset valuations have been derived
from the 2024 Capital Budget and forecast. In total, transit assets (excluding land)
within the Town have a replacement value of approximately $4.7 million.
Table F-3
Town of Orangeville
Asset Inventory and Valuation
Asset age and useful life data have been estimated using the Town's Tangible Capital
Assets (TCA) inventory. Summarized in Table 9-4 is the distribution of total asset
replacement value by the percentage of estimated useful life consumed. Based on the
distribution of replacement value, 66% of the transit assets have consumed less than
75% of their respective useful lives. The remaining assets are near the end or have
exceeded their estimated useful lives.

of trends or issues facing the Town, or through an analysis of performance measures
and targets that staff can use to measure performance.
Expected L.O.S. can be impacted by a number of factors, including:
- Legislative requirements;
- Strategic planning goals and objectives;
- Resident expectations;
- Council or Town staff expectations; and
- Financial or resource constraints.
The previous task of determining the state of the Town's Transit asset infrastructure
establishes the asset inventory and condition (based on useful life), to guide the
refinement and upkeep of asset infrastructure. It is important to document an expected
L.O.S. that is realistic to the Town. It is common to strive for the highest L.O.S.,
however, these service levels usually come at a cost.
Town staff revised the transit targeted ridership per capita based on current data and
future planning underway. This target was set at 8.85 by 2033. As summarized in
Table 5-1, the current ridership per capita is 7.45.
F-3: Asset Management Strategy
The asset management strategy provides the recommended course of actions required
to deliver the expected L.O.S. discussed in the previous section in a sustainable
fashion. The course of actions, when combined together, form a long-term forecast that
includes:
a) Non-infrastructure solutions: reduce costs and/or extend expected useful life
estimates;
b) Maintenance activities: regularly scheduled activities to maintain existing useful
life levels, or repairs needed due to unplanned events;
c) Renewal/Rehabilitation: significant repairs or maintenance planned to increase
the useful life of assets;
d) Replacement/Disposal: complete disposal and replacement of assets, when
renewal or rehabilitation is no longer an option; and
e) Expansion: given planned growth as outlined in Chapter 3.

H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Town of Orangeville 2024 D.C. Background Study - Final Report.docx
The planned level of service includes non-infrastructure solutions such as expanded
hours of operation and updated fare strategies and implementation of additional routes.
Infrastructure solutions to meet the planned level of service include increasing the
number of transit vehicles, and facility expansions. This planned level of service will
result in both operating and capital budget impacts over the forecast period. This has to
be taken into consideration with the objective of increasing ridership while mitigating
risk.
F-4: Financing Strategy
Table F-5 provides the financing strategy for the Town for the next 10 years. It provides
a breakdown of the existing and new operating expenses, along with the capital-related
operating expenses including both existing and new. Further, it includes the total
miscellaneous revenues, including the provincial gas tax, advertising, and external cost
recovery. The analysis shows the total amount of revenues that should be earned
through the tax levy to maintain the level of service along with the asset management
lifecycle costs related to the additional capital included in the D.C. Furthermore, it is
recommended that the Town continues to pursue grant funding from the provincial and
federal governments to fund its transit services.

1. Background
In accordance with the provisions of the Development Charges Act, 1997, as amended
(D.C.A.), the Town of Orangeville (Town) has undertaken a Development Charges
Background Study (D.C.B.S.) and has distributed the study and draft by-law to the
public. The following provides a summary of the key dates in the Development Charges
(D.C.s) by-law process:
- August 8, 2024 - Release D.C.B.S. and draft by-law;
- September 16, 2024 - Public Meeting of Council;
- October 7, 2024 - Anticipated passage of the D.C. by-law; and
- October 8, 2024 - Anticipated date of by-law enactment.
The purpose of this addendum to the August 8, 2024 D.C.B.S. is to revise the
calculation of the non-residential charges and to make minor housekeeping revisions.
2. Discussion
This section of the addendum report provides an explanation for the refinements noted
above.
The August 8, 2024 D.C.B.S. noted that the non-residential gross floor area (G.F.A.)
increase to buildout was 686,300 square feet however, some sections of the report
incorrectly noted the increase as 868,300 square feet. The charge for Town-wide
services over the buildout forecast period was inadvertently calculated based on
868,300 square feet instead of 686,300 square feet, which resulted in an understated
non-residential charge. Table 1 presents the revised schedule of Town-Wide D.C.s.
The amended charges for Town-Wide services are $16.56 per square foot of non-

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 6-5 of the D.C. Background Study.
In total, gross capital costs of approximately $205.29 million are forecast for the
10-year by-law term. These capital costs have been identified through
discussion with Town staff. A portion of these capital costs, $18.42 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 $84.68 million related to the portion of capital projects that will
benefit the existing development, $12.96 million related to anticipated grants,
subsidies, and other contributions, and $108,000 relates to the portion of capital
costs that are related to D.C.-ineligible services.

The resultant net D.C.-recoverable costs included in the calculations for capital
works anticipated over the 10-year forecast period totals approximately $89.12
million, of which $76.76 million is attributed to the forecast residential
development and $12.36 million allocated to the forecast non-residential
development.

6. At present, the Town imposes D.C.s on both residential and non-residential
developments on a Town-wide basis and area specific basis. 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 September 16, 2024.
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).

- Full exemption for a cemetery;

6. Development Charge Calculation
Table 6-1 calculates the proposed D.C.s to be imposed for services over the Town-wide
buildout forecast period. Table 6-2 calculates the proposed D.C.s to be imposed on
anticipated development in the Town for the 10-year forecast period. Further, Table 6-3
provides the calculated Town-wide D.C.s for the respective services. Lastly, Table 6-4
provides the area-specific D.C.s to be charged over the buildout forecast.
The calculation for residential development is generated on a per capita basis and is
based upon five forms of housing types (singles and semi-detached dwellings, multiple
dwellings, bachelor and 1-bedroom apartments, 2+ bedrooms apartments, and special
care/special dwelling units). The non-residential D.C. has been calculated on a uniform
per sq.ft. of G.F.A. basis for all types of non-residential development (industrial,
commercial, and institutional).
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 7) to calculate the charges in Tables 6-1, and 6-2.
For area specific calculations, the cost of each project is divided by the total net
developable hectares for the benefiting lands to provide a D.C. based on a per hectare
basis.
Table 6-5 summarizes the gross capital expenditures and sources of revenue for works
anticipated to be undertaken during the 10-year life of the by-law.

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., primary, 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 (Town-wide), fire protection services, and
policing services, an 87% residential and 13% non-residential attribution has
been made, to recognize the incremental residential population and non-
residential employment uses projected over the Town-wide buildout forecast
period for both services;
- Parks and recreation services, 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;
- Transit service attributions for residential and non-residential have been
determined based on an 86% residential and 14% non-residential attribution
has been made, to recognize the incremental residential population and
non-residential employment uses projected over the Town's 10-year
forecast period for the service;
- Water and wastewater service attributions (Town-wide) for residential and
non-residential have been determined based on an 89% residential and
11% non-residential attribution has been made, to recognize estimated

1. Background
In accordance with the provisions of the Development Charges Act, 1997, as amended
(D.C.A.), the Town of Orangeville (Town) undertook a Development Charges
Background Study (D.C.B.S.) and has distributed the study and draft by-law to the
public. Subsequent to the release of the D.C.B.S, an addendum report was released.
The following provides a summary of the key dates in the Development Charges (D.C.s)
by-law process:
- August 8, 2024 - Release D.C.B.S. and draft by-law;
- September 12, 2024 - Release of Addendum to the D.C.B.S. and draft by-law;
- September 16, 2024 - Public Meeting of Council;
- October 7, 2024 - Passage of the Development Charges (D.C.) by-law;
- October 8, 2024 - Date of by-law enactment; and
- October 23, 2024 - Date Notice of by-law enactment was posted.
The purpose of this second addendum to the August 8, 2024 D.C.B.S., as amended, is
to revise the calculation of the Services Related to a Highway Town-wide and Area
Specific charges to correct for an error in the calculations.
2. Discussion
This section of the addendum report number 2 provides an explanation for the
refinements noted above.
Subsequent to the passage of the 2024 D.C. by-law 2024-060, Town staff were
reviewing a number of items contained in the D.C.B.S., as amended, based on a
submission of questions from the development community. During the review of the
questions, an error was discovered in the calculated rates for the Services Related to a
Highway portion of both the Town-wide D.C.s and Area Specific D.C.s.
The August 8, 2024 D.C.B.S., as amended, provides for a Town-wide and area specific
D.C. for Services Related to a Highway. One project, the Hansen Blvd. bridge project
has an area specific share and a Town-wide share however, the percentage of the
project that is related to the Town-wide component for oversizing was incorrectly
calculated. This resulted in a calculated Town-wide rate that is higher than it should be
and an area specific rate that is lower than it should be.
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
PAGE 2
H:\Orangeville\2024 DC,W,WW, SW\DC\Report\Addendum 2\Orangeville 2024 DC Addendum 2.docx
The area specific D.C. is in place to recover the cost of localized works that are required
for specific developments. The Hansen Blvd. bridge project is mainly required to
service specific developments; however, it is planned that the bridge be oversized to
also provide added capacity for traffic needs that will benefit all growth in the Town. As
such, the portion of this project that is related to oversizing the bridge is approximately
11%, versus 53% that was identified in the D.C.B.S. and the portion that benefits the
specific developments to be recovered through the area specific D.C. is 89% versus
47% that was identified in the D.C.B.S.
The amended charges for Town-Wide services are reduced to $48,933 from $49,533 in
the urban serviced area for a single and semi-detached dwelling. The non-residential
charges in the urban serviced area are reduced to $16.29 from $16.56 per square of
gross floor area (G.F.A.). The area specific roads charge increases to $27,998 per net
developable hectare from $14,803. The revised Town-wide charges are presented in
Table 1. The comparison of rates for the Town-wide charges for single and semi-
detached dwellings is presented in Table 2 and for the Town-wide non-residential
charges in Table 3. A comparison of the area specific charges in provided in Table 4

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 6-5 of the D.C. Background Study.
In total, gross capital costs of approximately $210.43 million are forecast for the
10-year by-law term. These capital costs have been identified through
discussion with Town staff. A portion of these capital costs, $18.42 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 $85.69 million related to the portion of capital projects that will
benefit the existing development, $18.42 million related to anticipated grants,
subsidies, and other contributions, and $123,000 relates to the portion of capital
costs that are related to D.C.-ineligible services.

The resultant net D.C.-recoverable costs included in the calculations for capital
works anticipated over the 10-year forecast period totals approximately $91.86
million, of which $78.72 million is attributed to the forecast residential
development and $13.14 million allocated to the forecast non-residential
development.

6. At present, the Town imposes D.C.s on both residential and non-residential
developments on a Town-wide basis and area specific basis. 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 September 16, 2024.
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).
The following services/class of services are calculated based on a Town-wide
10-year forecast period:
-
Transit Services;
-
Parks and Recreation Services;
-
Library Services; and

1.3 Changes to the Development Charges Act, 1997
Following the adoption of the Town's existing D.C. by-laws, a number of changes to the
D.C.A. have been introduced through various legislation including the following:
- Bill 108: More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019;
- Bill 138: Plan to Build Ontario Together Act, 2019;
- Bill 197: COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, 2020;
- Bill 213: Better for People, Smarter for Business Act, 2020;
- Bill 109: More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022;
- Bill 23: More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022;
- Bill 97: Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023;
- Bill 134: Affordable Homes and Good Jobs Act, 2023; and
- Bill 185: Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes, 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 108: More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019
The Province introduced Bill 108, More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 which proposed
changes to the D.C.A. as part of the province's "More Homes, More Choice: Ontario's
Housing Supply Action Plan." The More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 received Royal

come into effect, awaiting proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor.
On January 1, 2020, the following provisions were proclaimed:
- A D.C. for rental housing and institutional developments will pay the charge in six
equal annual instalments, with the first payment commencing on the date of
occupancy. Non-profit housing developments will pay D.C.s in 21 equal annual
payments (note, that further changes related to non-profit housing have been
made under the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, summarized below). Any
unpaid D.C. amounts may be added to the property and collected as taxes.

5.3 Service Levels and Build-out Capital Costs for Town-
wide D.C. Calculation
This section evaluates the development-related capital requirements for Town services
under a buildout planning period.
5.3.1 Services Related to a Highway
The Town's current inventory of roadways is measured in lane kilometers (km) and
includes 87.54 km of collector roads and 9.43 km of arterial roads, for a total of 96.96
km. Additionally, the Town owns and maintains 16 bridges and culverts along with 137
km of sidewalks, 25 traffic signals, and 2,650 streetlights. Furthermore, 23,881 sq.ft. of
roads operations facility space is owned and used by the Town for services related to a
highway, along with approximately 67 vehicles and equipment items to service the road
network. The total inventory of assets over the past 15 years results in an invested
level of service of $11,806 per capita. When applied to the buildout forecast population,
a maximum D.C.-eligible cost of approximately $60.12 million is applicable.
Table 5-7 provides the buildout capital program for services related to a highway. The
capital program includes various capital project anticipated to take place during the
forecast period such as oversizing and upgrades to existing roads to accommodate
growth, additional traffic signals and vehicles, expansion to facilities such as the
operations centre, and other road resurfacing programs, to service growth. As such, the
total gross capital cost of the program and the existing Roads and Related D.C. reserve
fund deficit totals approximately $54.9 million over the forecast period. A deduction
related to the benefit to the existing development has been applied for approximately
$26.46 million. Further, a deduction related to grants, subsidies and other contributions
has been made for $7.71 million.
As a result, the total D.C.-recoverable cost of approximately $20.73 million has been
included in the calculation of the charge. Of that, approximately $18.03 million (87%)
and $2.70 million (13%) have been attributed to residential and non-residential
developments, respectfully. These attributions are based on the incremental growth
anticipated in population and employment over the buildout forecast period.

5.5 Capital Costs for Area-Specific D.C. Calculation
This section evaluates the development-related capital requirements for the area-
specific services under the buildout forecast period of the respective benefitting lands.
The benefitting lands, and the associated net developable areas subject to the various
projects, on an area specific charges have been identified in Table 3-2. The anticipated
development-related capital requirements for each of the four services, are consistent
with the Town's 2009 and 2014 D.C. Background Studies. The area specific D.C.s are
recovered on a per hectare basis of net developable lands that benefit from each of the
projects.
5.5.1 Services Related to a Highway
The area-specific Services Related to a Highway capital program continues to identify
the Hansen Blvd. bridge over Lower Monora Creek. The gross capital cost estimate of
the local service program is approximately $2.92 million, of which $47,200 has been
deducted to reflect the portion of the project that benefits to the existing population.
Table 5-13 provides the related capital program for the service on an area-specific basis
and notes the benefitting lands that are subject to this charge (see Table 3-2 for a
description and size of the benefitting land areas). The capital cost included in the D.C.
calculations is approximately $2.88 million.
5.5.2 Water Services
Six area specific water projects continue to be carried forward with revised costing to be
recovered on an area specific basis from benefitting lands. While two of the projects
are now complete, not all funding has been recovered from all benefitting lands. Table
5-14 provides the capital program with the updated gross capital cost estimate for
projects totaling approximately $3.82 million. A deduction related to the benefit to the
existing community has been made of $813,000, along with a deduction for the local
service contributions in the amount of $626,548 are anticipated. Therefore,
approximately $2.38 million has been included in the calculation. As noted, each capital
project benefits various different developments, which have been summarized in Table
5-14 and described in Table 3-2.

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.
