General City DIF - Solid Waste

“This chapter contains a calculation of the demand from development upon the City's inventory of refuse collection equipment, storage and maintenance facilities. The existing refuse capacity is the result of existing customer rate and fee payments. The inventory is also needed to serve the existing inventory of residential and business space. New refuse customers will impact the City by requiring new refuse vehicles and various types of collection containers which in turn will increase demand upon the refuse collection system facilities and maintenance capacity.”

“In 2000 the City of Ontario retained Revenue & Cost Specialists to undertake a comprehensive cost calculation of the City's development impact costs for two areas of the City. The two areas consisted of the more developed General City (GC) area and the largely undeveloped former dairy farm area referred to as Ontario Ranch (OR). Ontario Ranch had been referred to as New Model Colony in previous reports but it was amended to Ontario Ranch in this 2017 update at the request of the Ontario Ranch Builders.”
