c. There is a written note included in the preliminary approval for such phased development that the traffic concurrency evaluation is limited only to the specific phases for which approval has been provided. i. Upon the written request of a developer, the Public Works director may waive the requirement for a TIA where potential transportation impacts upon the affected transportation corridor(s) and/or intersections have been adequately analyzed in prior research or reports and/or are not projected to cause a reduction in the operating level of affected transportation corridors and/or intersections. Developers must provide justification for their request to include, but not be limited to, the number of trips that will be generated by the development, where these trips will access transportation facilities, and the distribution of the trips when entering onto transportation facilities at multiple access points. K. The County may undertake an independent TIA to confirm or revise the results of the developer's TIA. L. The County may reserve capacity on its transportation facilities for future developments considered high priority by the County. (Ord. 2011-011. 2011) (Ord. 2015-010, 2015) 12.10.050 Concurrency Determination. The county shall not approve a development permit unless there are adequate transportation facilities to meet the level of service standards for existing and approved uses, based on the forecast peak hour traffic volumes and the committed transportation system. Concurrency requires adequate transportation facilities to be in place at the time of development or that a financial commitment is in place to complete the improvements or strategies needed for adequate transportation facilities within six years. A. If the concurrency evaluation shows that the ratio of the forecast peak hour traffic volume to the capacity of each transportation facility is equal to or less than the adopted level of service standard for each impacted transportation facility, the director shall issue a determination of concurrency finding, according to the provisions of . This determination of concurrency finding shall include a certificate of transportation capacity for developments that are expected to generate more than nine (9) peak hour vehicle trips. B. If the concurrency evaluation shows that the ratio of the forecast peak hour traffic volume to the capacity of any transportation facility exceeds the adopted level of service standard for any impacted transportation facility, the concurrency test is not passed and the director shall notify the developer in writing of the denial finding. The developer may: 1. Amend the application within 90 days in such a way to ensure that the ratio of the forecast peak hour traffic volume to the capacity of each transportation facility does not exceed the adopted level of service standard for each impacted transportation facility. To meet the foregoing, amendments may include one or more of the following: a. Modify the project to reduce the impact on affected facilities; b. Phase the project to coincide with planned improvements that will ensure concurrency; c. Mitigate the impacts of the project to ensure concurrency;
