Article VII Definitions

Concurrency, Transportation. A requirement of the 1990 Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A.070(6)) that the City must enforce an ordinance precluding development approval if a development would cause the transportation LOS to fall below the City’s adopted LOS standard, unless revenues are secured to complete mitigating transportation improvements or strategies within six years. If a development fails to meet the concurrency test, supplemental mitigation in the form of transportation improvements or strategies will be required to accommodate the impacts of the development and allow it to achieve concurrency. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) and other mobility strategies may be used.

Maintaining transportation concurrency means implementing transportation improvements in proportion to the level of new development as required by Comprehensive Plan Transportation Policy TR-3 and regulations in RZC 21.29, Transportation Standards.
