ORDINANCE NO. 1842.
WHEREAS. future growth should contribute its fair share to the cost of
improvements and additions to city transportation and stormwater drainage facilities that
are required to accommodate the needs of such growth; and
WHEREAS. the imposition of system development charges will provide a source
of revenue to fund the construction or improvement of the city's transportation and
stormwater drainage facilities necessitated by growth; and
WHEREAS, ORS 223.297 - 223.314, adopted in 1989, authorizes local
governments to impose system development charges; and
WHEREAS, system development charges are charges incurred upon the election
to develop property at a specific use, density and/or intensity, and the incurred charge
equals, or is less than the actual cost of providing public facilities commensurate with
the needs of the chosen use, density, and/or intensity; election of other uses, densities,
and/or intensities causes direct and proportional changes in the amount of the incurred
charge; and system development charges are separate from and in addition to any
applicable tax, assessment, charge, fee in lieu of assessment, or other fee provided by
law or imposed as a condition of development; and
WHEREAS, system development charges are fees for services because they are
based upon a development's receipt of services considering the specific nature of the
development; and
WHEREAS, system development charges are imposed on the activity of
development, not on the land, owner, or property, and therefore, are not taxes on
property or on a property owner as a direct consequence of ownership of property within
the meaning of Section 11 b, Article XI of the Oregon Constitution or the legislation
implementing that section; and
WHEREAS, this ordinance is intended only to be a financing mechanism for
needed extra capacity capital facilities associated with new development and does not
represent the consideration of land use planning issues, funding for maintenance of

(B) Rates of Charoes.
1) The city hereby adopts and incorporates by reference the report entitled "City
of Woodburn Traffic Impact Fee and Stormwater Drainage System Development
Charges Methodology Report", dated June 30, 1993, particularly the
assumptions, conclusions and findings in such study as to the determination of
anticipated costs of capital improvements required to accommodate growth and
the rates for system development charges to reimburse the city for such capital
improvements.
2) System development charges shall be imposed and calculated for the change in
use, alternation, expansion or replacement of a building or dwelling unit if such
change in use, alternation, expansion or replacement results in an increase in the
use of capital improvements compared to the present use of the development.
The amount of the system development charges to be paid shall be the
difference between the rate for the proposed development and the rate that
would be imposed for the development prior to the change in use, alternation,
expansion or replacement.
3) The City shall, based upon the report referred to in subsection (1) above, adopt
by resolution the amounts of system development charges.
4) An additional systems development charge may be assessed by the city if the
demand placed on the city's capital facilities exceeds the amount initially
estimated at the time systems development charges are paid. The additional
charge shall be for the increased demand or for the demand above the
underestimate, and it shall be based upon the fee that is in effect at the time the
additional demand impact is determined, and not upon the fee structure that
may have been in effect at the time the initial systems development charge was
paid. This provision does not apply to single family or other residential units
unless additional rental units are created.
(C) Pavment of Charoes. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, applicants for
building permits or development permits shall pay the applicable system development
charges prior to the issuance of the permit by the city.
1) When the total amount due for Traffic Impact Fees exceeds twenty-five
thousand dollars ($25,000), the applicant may request an alternative payment
arrangement to pay the fee in annual payments over a period not to exceed five
years. Alternative payment may occur upon adoption by the city council of a
resolution providing for this payment method after consideration of impact upon
the city.
2) The City Administrator shall provide application and contract forms for
installment payments, which shall include a waiver of all rights to contest the
validity of the lien, except for the correction of computational errors. The
interest to be charged for installment payments and for delinquent payment of
such installments is initially established at the prime rate of interest plus 0.5
percent but may be adjusted by the city council by resolution.

Traffic Impact Fees, the dates on which the payments are due, the name of the
owner, and the description of the parcel.

expressly provided, from that time the city shall have a first lien upon the
described parcel for the amount of the Traffic Impact Fees, together with
interest on the unpaid balance at the rate established by the city council. The
lien shall be enforceable in the manner provided in ORS Chapter 223.
6) Under no circumstances shall payment of the TIF or SDC exempt development
from complying with any and all standards, rules, and regulations required of the
development as a condition of development approval. Specifically, development
must meet all road standards, storm water retention requirements, and
stormwater quality requirements intended to minimize the degradation of water
quality resulting from development.
(D) Alternative Rate Calculation. Applicants may submit alternative rates for system
development charges, subject to the following conditions:
1) In the event an applicant believes that the impact on city capital improvements
resulting from a development is less than the fee established in Section (3) /b),
the applicant may submit alternative system development charge rate
calculations, accompanied by the alternative rate review fee established by
resolution for this purpose, to the City Administrator. The city may hire a
consultant to review the alternative system development charge rate
calculations, and may pay the consulting fees from system development charges
revenues.
2) The alternative system development charge rate calculations shall be based on
data, information and assumptions contained in this ordinance and the adopted
system development charges study or an independent source, provided that the
independent source is a local study supported by a data base adequate for the
conclusions contained in such study performed pursuant to a generally accepted
methodology and based upon generally accepted standard sources of
information relating to facilities planning, cost analysis and demographics.
3) If the city council determines that the data, information and assumptions utilized
by the applicant to calculate the alternative system development charges rates
comply with the requirements of this section by using a generally accepted
methodology, the alternative system development charges rates shall be paid
in lieu of the rates set forth in Section (3)(B).

applicant (by certified mail, return receipt requested) written notification of the
rejection of the alternative system development charges rates and the reason
therefor.
5) Any applicant who has submitted a proposed alternative system development
charges rate pursuant to this section and desires the immediate issuance of a
building permit or development permit shall pay the applicable system
development charges rates pursuant to Section (3)(B). Said payment shall be
deemed paid under "protest" and shall not be construed as a waiver of any right
of review. Any difference between the amount paid and the amount due, as
determined by the city council, shall be refunded to the applicant.

development charges:

development permit issued prior to the effective date of this ordinance

the city council based on the following criteria:
i) The existence of a valid, unexpired permit issued by the city
authorizing the specific development for which a
determination is sought;

deny the owner the opportunity to complete the previously

factors shall be considered in determining whether it is
inequitable to deny the owner the opportunity to complete

be based upon cost estimates certified by a professional architect or
engineer.

specific type of development (I.e., residential, industrial, etc.) shall be
