§ 68-157. Concurrency review; procedure and evaluation.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    The city shall use the procedures specified in subsection (c) to determine compliance of an application for a development permit with this concurrency management system. At the time of application for a development permit, a concurrency evaluation shall be made to determine the availability of the facilities or services required to be concurrent.

    (b)

    An applicant for a development permit shall provide the city with all information required by the city so as to enable the concurrency evaluation to be made. This shall include all of the information required in the "Submission Requirements and Methodology for Calculating Projected Demand for Certificate of Concurrency," a copy of which is attached hereto labeled Exhibit A, and made a part hereof by reference and printed at the end of this article. Official copies of "Exhibit A" shall be made available to the general public for inspection and copying.

    (c)

    Upon receipt of a complete concurrency review application, the city manager or his/her designee shall perform the following concurrency evaluation:

    Concurrency Review-Evaluation

    The methodology for determining whether the levels of service of city facilities are adequate to support the impact of proposed developments is in Exhibit A at the end of this article. The levels of service of all six city facilities and services must be sufficient before a development permit can be issued.

    (1)

    For sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, and potable water: The concurrency evaluation shall compare the available capacity to the demand of the proposed development. The available capacity shall be determined by adding together:

    a.

    The total of the existing excess capacity, if any; and

    b.

    The total future capacity of any proposed construction or expansion that meets the standards of section 68-156.

    A certificate of concurrency shall be issued only if one of the following conditions are met: the available capacity exceeds the demand of the proposed development or one of the standards of subsection 68-156(a) is met.

    (2)

    For parks and recreation: The concurrency evaluation shall compare the available capacity to the demand of the proposed development. The available capacity shall be determined by adding together available capacity to the demand of the proposed development. The available capacity shall be determined by adding together:

    a.

    The total of the existing excess capacity, if any; and

    b.

    The total future capacity of any proposed construction or expansion that meets the standards of subsections 68-156(a) and (b).

    A certificate of concurrency shall be issued only if one of the following conditions are met: the available capacity exceeds the demand of the proposed development or one of the standards of subsections 68-156(a) and (b) is met.

    (3)

    For roads:

    a.

    The concurrency evaluation shall compare the existing level of service standards for the impacted roads to the level of service standards, as adopted, for the same. The existing level of service shall be based upon existing roads, including any proposed improvements to those roads, meeting the minimum requirements for concurrency as set forth in subsections 68-156(a) through (c).

    b.

    If the impact of the proposed development does not result in a degradation of the affected roads below the adopted level of service standard, or if one of the standards of subsections 68-156(a) through (c) is met, then a certificate of concurrency shall be issued.

    c.

    If the city determines that a certificate of concurrency will not be issued, that determination shall be reduced to writing, signed by the city manager making the determination, and sent by U.S. Mail to the applicant.
