The Development Charges (DC) By-Law is conducted every five years pursuant to the requirements outlined within the Development Charges Act (DCA), 1997. The City of Ottawa will undertake a revised DC Background Study and By-law consistent with the requirements of the amended DCA.
The review will also consider the Community Benefits Charge (CBC) eligible projects and updating the existing CBC by-law. A CBC is a new growth-funding tool (GFT) under the Planning Act that allows municipalities to levy a charge against certain forms of higher density development to fund associated development-related capital infrastructure needs.
Reviewing the CBC with the DC together adds clarity as to how costs of projects between both charges are better aligned.
