### 1. Constructed Works

#### 1.1
Where development cost charges (DCCs) are payable by an owner of a new development, and where the Municipality requires all or a portion of the services for which the DCCs are collected to be constructed by the owner of a new development, a rebate will be made on the DCCs paid and will be calculated by the Municipal Treasurer in accordance with section 933(8) of the Municipal Act as the least of the following two amounts:

#### 1.2 Consultant Estimate

The cost of the DCC component of the works (being built by the developer) as estimated by the developer's consulting engineer, plus a reasonable amount for engineering design, inspection, less a municipal administration fee as accepted in writing by the Municipal Treasurer.

#### 1.3 DCCs Payable

The actual DCCs paid, or calculated, at the time of subdivision for the service to be installed (e.g. highway, drainage or sanitary sewer).

### 2. Park Land

Where Development Cost Charges are payable by an owner of a new development, and where the municipality requires all or a portion of the land for which the Development Cost Charges are collected to be dedicated by the owner of a new development, a rebate will be made on the Development Cost Charges paid and will be calculated by the Municipal Treasurer in accordance with section 936 of the Municipal Act.

### 3. Rebates

Rebates will be applied as a credit towards DCCs payable as follows;

#### 3.1
Where DCCs are paid as a lump sum, the rebate will be credited towards the lump sum payment.

#### 3.2
Where DCCs are to be paid in installments, the rebate will be deducted from the total DCC payable. If the net DCC payable qualifies for payment by installment, it shall be paid in three equal installments in accordance with the applicable DCC Bylaw provision. Otherwise, the net DCC payable shall be paid as a lump sum.

#### 3.3
Where DCC works are undertaken at the subdivision stage and payable at the building permit stage, the rebate shall be the sum applicable and calculated at the time of subdivision. The rebates are payable to the original owner of the development who installed the DCC works at the subdivision stage, It is the responsibility of the owner of the development to apply for the rebate.

### 4. DCCs for Redevelopment

The percentage of DCCs payable for redevelopment on commercial, industrial and institutional properties, where the value of the work exceeds $50,000.00 and where there would be additional capital cost burden on the Municipality as a result of the expanded development, shall be calculated as follows:

\[
\% \text{ of DCCs payable} = 100 - \frac{\text{existing gross floor area}}{\text{existing gross floor area - expansion floor area}} \times 100\%
\]
