Unless otherwise provided, the following development activities shall not require a concurrency evaluation or the payment of a traffic impact fee:

(2) The requirement under PMC 12.36.080(1) for adjoining street improvements may be satisfied to accommodate a single dwelling on a lot platted prior to January 1, 2011, provided:

(a) The street is included within the City’s Six-Year Capital Improvement Plan.

(b) The permittee pays the proportionate share of the planned street improvement to the City in conjunction with the building permit.

(c) The criteria for consideration of placing a street in the Capital Improvement Plan shall include:

(i) The cost of constructing the required improvement creates a disproportionate burden upon the permit applicant;

(ii) The required improvement is necessary for beneficial use of the property;

(iii) The required improvements would benefit more than the permit applicant/owner;

(iv) The required improvement is on a collector, minor or principal arterial;

(v) The required improvements are unlikely to be funded through other means within the Capital Improvement Plan time frame; and

(vi) The City will establish a latecomer agreement at the time of constructing the required improvement and has a reasonable expectation at the time the improvement is included in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan that the City will recoup a sufficient portion of the costs of constructing the improvement.

(d) Nothing in this subsection (2) shall be construed as requiring the City Council to include a particular street within the Capital Improvement Plan.

(e) Highways of statewide significance are exempt from concurrency evaluation. [Ord. 4526 § 1, 2021; Ord. 3993, 2011; Ord. 3821 § 1, 2007; Code 1970 § 12.36.040.]
