19.25.010 Purpose.

Future developments in the city outside of the Concord Reuse Project site will increase demands on the City’s transportation system. To ensure continued safe and efficient operation of the City’s transportation system, improvements to the system are necessary to accommodate future growth. The Transportation and Circulation Element of the 2030 General Plan and the 2013 Citywide Traffic Impact Fee Study identified transportation improvements to accommodate future growth. The study determined the need for establishing a fee, which in combination with public funds would fully fund the identified improvements. To ensure implementation of the identified improvements and that all developments contribute their fair share of the costs of the improvements, it is necessary to establish an equitable fee and administrative program.

Approval of a zoning request, use permit, variance, Zoning Administrator’s permit, subdivision map, or any other discretionary permit, or the issuance of a building permit requires a prior determination by the approving body that the project is consistent with the city’s General Plan. The approving body may impose upon a new development conditions which are reasonably necessary to ensure consistency with the city’s General Plan.
