Commission reviews proposed concurrency rule changes and updates to traffic impact fees
Summary
Staff and consultant recommendations on concurrency tracking, traffic-analysis thresholds and traffic-impact-fee administration were discussed; staff will prepare draft code edits and administrative guidance, including moving methodology out of code and exempting emergency housing from impact fees.
Planner Shay and consultant notes from Transpo formed the basis of a broad discussion March 5 about proposed revisions to Lake Stevens Municipal Code (LSMC) chapter 14.11 and related traffic-impact-fee provisions.
Shay summarized Transpo’s recommendations, which the packet listed as eight items. Key proposals staff described included developing an annual concurrency report to monitor levels of service, revising traffic-impact-zone methodology, updating traffic-analysis guidelines to use multimodal trips per person (not vehicle trips), and creating a clear concurrency-certification process and tracking matrix for the city’s remaining subarea (the Lake Stevens Industrial Center).
