12.10.020 Authority. <br />The public works director, or his/her designee, shall be responsible for implementing and enforcing <br />this chapter. (Ord. 2011-011, 2011) <br />12.10.030 Level of Service Standards. <br />The transportation level of service standards for purposes of concurrency review are described and <br />contained in the Kittitas County Comprehensive Plan, Long Range Transportation Plan and any <br />adopted modifications. (Ord. 2011-011. 2011) <br />12.10.040 Concurrency Evaluation. <br />A. The County review of all applications for development permits shall include a <br />concurrency evaluation. <br />B. The County shall monitor what the impact of approving concurrency will be on the <br />capacity of transportation facilities. <br />C. A concurrency evaluation shall be required for all development applications in which the <br />proposed development is projected to have an impact upon any affected transportation <br />corridor or intersection. A transportation impact analysis (TIA) shall be required for all <br />development that will generate more than nine (9) peak hour vehicle trips unless the <br />requirement for a study has been waived by the Public Works director. <br />D. The TIA shall be prepared by and/or under the supervision of a registered engineer in <br />the State of Washington. <br />E. To establish the scope of the TIA, the developer shall follow the Public Works <br />Department TIA guidelines and shall provide a preliminary, limited scope analysis <br />documenting the estimated trip generation and distribution for the proposed <br />development application. The director or his designee will review and adjust, if <br />necessary, this information for use in establishing the analysis locations for the TIA for <br />the concurrency evaluation. The TIA shall, at a minimum, provide the following <br />information for the identified concurrency locations: <br />a. Number of peak hour trips generated by the development according to the <br />ITE trip generation manual or other method approved by the director; <br />b. Anticipated trip distribution; <br />c. The current calculated level of service of all impacted transportation <br />facilities; <br />d. The future calculated level of service of all impacted transportation facilities, <br />as identified by the county, incorporating traffic volumes from the <br />proposed development; <br />e. Any proposed mitigation; and <br />f. The future calculated level of service of all impacted transportation facilities <br />with the incorporation of proposed development traffic volumes and any <br />proposed mitigation. <br />g, Any adverse effects or safety hazards that are created or worsened by trips <br />generated by the development and the effect these trips may have on the <br />structural integrity of the transportation facilities. <br />The TIA shall be based on traffic counts obtained within twelve (12) months of the fully <br />complete date of the development application as determined under Section 15A.03.040. <br />
