25.12.010 Issuance.

A certificate of concurrency shall be issued at the same time a development permit or building permit is issued; provided, that the applicant holds a valid concurrency test notice, and pays any fee and/or meets any condition specified on the concurrency test notice. Each building within an approved phased development shall be issued a certificate of concurrency.

If an applicant’s concurrency test notice expires before a certificate of concurrency is issued, then the assigned impacts for that applicant can be reassigned to another applicant. It is the city’s intent to treat concurrency applications on a “first-come first-served” basis. (Ord. 4509 § 15, 2015: Ord. 3830 § 1 (part), 2002: Ord. 3552 § 1 (part), 1997)

25.12.020 Scope of certificate of concurrency.

A certificate of concurrency shall apply only to the specific land use, density and intensity described in the application for a development permit or building permit.

No development shall be required to obtain more than one certificate of concurrency for each building, unless the applicant or subsequent owner proposes changes or modifications to the property location, density, intensity, or land use that creates additional impacts on concurrency facilities. (Ord. 3830 § 1 (part), 2002: Ord. 3552 § 1 (part), 1997)

25.12.030 Nontransferable.

A certificate of concurrency is not transferable to other land, but may be transferred to new owners of the original land. (Ord. 3830 § 1 (part), 2002: Ord. 3552 § 1 (part), 1997)

25.12.040 Expiration.

Unless otherwise specified in the decision granting the certificate of concurrency, the certificate shall be valid for the period of the corresponding development or building permit, but in no case shall the certificate be valid for more than six years from the date of issuance of the concurrency test notice. If the corresponding development or building permit expires, then the certificate of concurrency shall expire. If the certificate of concurrency expires while the development permit is valid and a building permit has not been issued, then the applicant shall submit a new application for concurrency and pass the concurrency test before a building permit is issued. (Ord. 3830 § 1 (part), 2002: Ord. 3552 § 1 (part), 1997)

25.12.050 Nonoccurring impacts.

Any traffic, sewer, or water impact that does not occur because a developer decides not to develop, a concurrency test notice or certificate of concurrency expires, or an accompanying development permit or building permit expires, shall be removed from the impact tracking system by the public works department. (Ord. 3830 § 1 (part), 2002: Ord. 3552 § 1 (part), 1997)
