The Town of Ajax has advised DRHBA that there was an error in the Development Charge Background Study Amendment related to the calculations used for determining the DC recoverable cost of growth-related studies.

The charge that was calculated in the original DCBS Amendment was understated.  As a result, the recoverable charge will increase.  For example: single and semi-detached dwelling rates will increase by $17 per unit.  The non-residential rate is unchanged.

An addendum to the study was prepared by the Town's consultants, Watson & Associates, to clarify and correct this error.  

The addendum is posted at: https://www.ajax.ca/en/inside-townhall/resources/Finance/Reports/2018-DCBS-Update---Addendum.pdf
