Enderby Reviews Development Cost Charges

The city of Enderby is revisiting how it manages Development Cost Charges.

Council has given two readings to a bylaw that aims to promote affordable housing by making it easier for developers to pay the charges.

“If somebody came along and said yeah we’re going to do a four lot sub-division and the DCC’s were, you know, seven thousand dollars per lot – 28 thousand, we basically set up a payment thing where they could build and complete and sell one house, make the payment on that and then move to the next one.”

Mayor Greg McCune says the actual dollar amount won’t change.
