RE: Transportation SDC for Destination Resorts

Background:
The Board adopted a Resolution establishing a transportation system development charge
(SDC) in July of 2008. This Resolution included adoption of a transportation system
development study (SDC methodology) as the basis for establishing the SDC fees.
The SDC methodology established trip generation rates and corresponding SDC's for various
land uses, including residential. Separate trip generation figures for single family dwellings
located within destination resorts and outside destination resorts were identified and used in the
SDC methodology for the trip growth calculation and the recommended SDC. However, the trip
generation rate table in the SDC methodology includes only a trip generation rate for single
family dwellings and does not distinguish a trip generation rate and SDC for single family
dwellings within destination resorts. The SDC rate in the table has been applied to single family
dwellings both within and outside of destination resorts.
This discrepancy has raised two issues: 1) Should the County amend the SDC rate table to
include a separate trip generation rate and corresponding SDC for single family dwellings within
destination resorts? 2) Should applicants that paid the single family dwelling SDC rate for
dwellings within destination resorts qualify for a reimbursement?
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the trip generation rate for single family dwellings within destination
resorts used for calculating SDC charges should correspond with the figures used in the trip
growth calculation in the methodology report for single family dwellings within destination resorts
and that such trip generation rate and corresponding SDC should be established. Attached is a
draft resolution that would amend the original SDC resolution to add the destination resort rate.

Staff further recommends that the county not reimburse any SDC funds already collected. The
SDC's paid were not in error — they were paid at the rate established in the original SDC
resolution. The original SDC resolution has not been appealed nor has there been an appeal of
the SDC's already collected.

destination resort rate:
