PART III
DETERMINATION OF CHARGES AND PASSAGE OF BY-LAW

Determination of Education Development Charges

7. Before an education development charge by-law is passed, the board shall do the following for the purposes of determining the education development charges:

1. The board shall estimate the number of new dwelling units in the area in which the charges are to be imposed for each of the 15 years immediately following the day the board intends to have the by-law come into force. The board’s estimate shall include only new dwelling units in respect of which education development charges may be imposed.

2. The board shall identify different types of new dwelling units and estimate, for each type, the average number of new elementary school pupils and the average number of new secondary school pupils generated by each new dwelling unit who will attend schools of the board.

3. For each of the 15 years referred to in paragraph 1, the board shall estimate the total number of new elementary school pupils and new secondary school pupils using the estimated number of new dwelling units and the estimated average number of new pupils generated by each new dwelling unit subject to the following adjustments,

i. the board shall reduce the number of new elementary school pupils by the number of existing elementary school pupil places that, in the opinion of the board, could reasonably be used to accommodate those new pupils,

ii. the board shall reduce the number of new secondary school pupils by the number of existing secondary school pupil places that, in the opinion of the board, could reasonably be used to accommodate those new pupils.

4. The board shall estimate the net education land cost for the elementary school sites and secondary school sites required to provide pupil places for the new elementary school pupils and new secondary school pupils.

5. The board shall estimate the balance of the education development charge account, if any, relating to the area in which the charges are to be imposed.  The estimate shall be an estimate of the balance immediately before the day the board intends to have the by-law come into force.

6. The board shall adjust the net education land cost with respect to any balance estimated under paragraph 5. If the balance is positive, the balance shall be subtracted from the cost. If the balance is negative, the balance shall be converted to a positive number and added to the cost.

7. The net education land cost as adjusted, if necessary, under paragraph 6, is the growth-related net education land cost.

8. The board shall choose the percentage of the growth-related net education land cost that is to be funded by charges on residential development and the percentage, if any, that is to be funded by charges on non-residential development.  The percentage that is to be funded by charges on non-residential development shall not exceed 40 per cent.

9. The board shall determine the charges on residential development subject to the following,

i. the charges shall be expressed as a rate per new dwelling unit,

ii. the rate shall be the same throughout the area in which charges are to be imposed under the by-law,

iii. the rate shall be an amount determined by the board so that if applied, over the 15 year period referred to in paragraph 1, to the estimated residential development in the area to which the by-law would apply and for which charges may be imposed, the percentage of the forecasted growth-related net education land cost that is to be funded by charges on residential development would not be exceeded.

9.1 Despite paragraph 9, if the board intends to impose different charges on different types of residential development, the board shall determine,

i. the percentage of the growth-related net education land cost to be funded by charges on residential development that is to be funded by each type of residential development,

ii. the charges on each type of residential development, subject to the rules in subparagraphs 9 i, ii and iii.

10. If charges are to be imposed on non-residential development, the board shall determine the charges subject to the following,

i. the charges shall be expressed as one of the following types of rate, as selected by the board,

A. a rate to be applied to the board-determined GFA of the development, or

B. a rate to be applied to the declared value of the development,

ii. the board may choose to have one type of rate for some parts of the area in which charges are to be imposed and the other type of rate to apply to the other parts of the area in which charges are to be imposed,

iii. the board may not choose to have both types of rate apply within a municipality,

iv. if only one type of rate applies under the by-law, the rate shall be the same throughout the area in which charges are to be imposed under the by-law,

v. if both types of rate are to apply under the by-law, each of those rates shall be the same throughout the area in which each type of rate applies,

vi. the rate (or rates if both types of rate are to apply under the by-law) shall be determined by the board so that if applied, over the 15-year period referred to in paragraph 1, to the estimated non-residential development in the area to which the by-law would apply and for which charges may be imposed, the percentage of the forecasted growth-related net education land cost that is to be funded by charges on non-residential development would not be exceeded.  O. Reg. 20/98, s. 7; O. Reg. 95/02, s. 4; O. Reg. 66/03, s. 1; O. Reg. 366/10, s. 1.

Application of Charge if Based on Declared Value of Development

8. An education development charge expressed as a rate to be applied to the declared value of a development shall be applied to the declared value used to calculate the building permit fee, if that fee is calculated using the declared value of the development.  O. Reg. 20/98, s. 8.
