A. The city shall perform a concurrency test for each application for a development permit which is not otherwise exempt from the requirements of this chapter, to determine if adequate capacity exists on affected transportation facilities.

B. If the capacity of transportation facilities affected by the proposed development is equal to or greater than the capacity required to maintain the level of service standard for the impact of the development, the concurrency test is passed, and the city shall issue a certificate of concurrency.

C. If the capacity of transportation facilities affected by the proposed development is less than the capacity required to maintain the level of service standard for the impact of the development, the concurrency test is not passed, and the city shall issue a letter denying a certificate of concurrency. The applicant may re-test for concurrency after doing one or both of the following:

1. Amend the application to reduce the need for capacity of transportation facilities in order to maintain the affected transportation facilities level of service at the same level of service that existed at the time of complete development permit application submittal; or

2. Arrange to provide capacity for transportation facilities that maintains the affected transportation facilities level of service at the same level of service that existed at the time of complete development permit application submittal.

D. The city shall conduct the concurrency test first for the earliest completed development application received. Subsequent applications will be tested in the same order as the city receives completed applications.

E. A concurrency test, and any resulting certificate of concurrency, shall be administrative actions of the city that are categorically exempt from the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). (Ord. 2014-03 § 3, 2014: Ord. 2001-09 § 1, 2001)
