A. Except as provided for in subsection 10-5-5A of this chapter, the test for concurrency shall be conducted as a part of the building permit application.
B. The city may conduct an alternative concurrency test for the applications identified in subsection 10-5-5B of this chapter and through the process set forth in that subsection.
C. The test for concurrency shall be conducted in the order in which the completed building permit application is received.
D. The concurrency test shall be performed only for the specific property use(s), residential density(ies) and intensity(ies) of the use(s) described on the building permit application. The applicant shall describe the proposed development in a manner adequate for the city to determine the peak hour traffic which is likely to be generated by the proposed development. The applicant shall also provide to the city a legal description of the property. Revisions to the proposed development that may create additional impacts on transportation facilities shall be required to undergo an additional concurrency test.
E. In conducting the concurrency test, the city shall use the trip generation tables set forth in the latest edition of the "Institute Of Transportation Engineers" (ITE), information report - trip generation. The presumption is that rates used by the city are accurate unless proven otherwise.
F. If the applicant pays the fees identified in section 10-5-7 of this chapter, the applicant may submit a calculation of alternative trip generation rates for the proposed development. The city shall review the alternate calculations and indicate in writing whether such calculations are acceptable in lieu of standard ITE trip generation rates.
G. The city may adjust the trip generation forecast of the proposed development in order to account for any transportation strategies proposed by the applicant and acceptable to the city.
H. The city shall not make a finding of concurrency as a part of the issuance of a building permit if the proposed development will result in transportation facilities declining below adopted LOS standards. If the LOS of the transportation facilities meets or exceeds the adopted LOS standards, the concurrency test is passed, and the city shall make a finding of concurrency. (Ord. 847, 8-17-2009)
