5 Lists of projects were compiled from identified needs. Each project was analysed: Estimated costs Timing Scale or size of project Possible locations

6 The estimated capital costs for the various community amenity projects are also subject to change as costs can change dramatically over time based on: detailed design, a determination of actual scope, the prevailing construction and economic environment, and/or private partnership opportunities or other relevant factors.

7 The timing of each project is approximate or estimated as timing is dependent upon many factors including: actual versus estimated growth, changing project priorities, and/or available funding, including grants, private partnership opportunities and/or community group fundraising.

10 Council will review the living community amenity project lists from time to time to update priorities and evaluate the list against new and changing identified community needs. Based on the projects in List A, the developer contribution would increase from $2,680 to $6,200 for each new residential lot/unit developed.

11 Why is the District reviewing its community amenity policy? What is the difference between Development Cost Charges (DCCs) and Community Amenities? What if the District does not receive voluntary amenity contributions from developers? Do community amenity contributions increase the cost of housing? Why does the District prefer the cost-based method over the land-lift method for collecting community amenity contributions?

18 In order for council to achieve a reasonable balance and build a better Mission, it is important that members of the public provide feedback/input to council, especially in terms of what kind of community that they envision. We all need to work together to build a sustainable and caring community that is focused on both the present and the future.
