A person trip generation rate schedule for land use types and units of development will be approved by the director and available for use to calculate person trips for development projects. Other trip generation rate sources may be used where special trip-generating characteristics of the development project exist, as determined by the director.

A. Application and Concurrency Testing. Any proposed development which is subject to this chapter shall be tested for transportation concurrency by the director to determine compliance with the city’s transportation concurrency policies and regulations. Such proposed development must be consistent with the city’s land use regulations. A proposed development passes the transportation concurrency test if the MU demand from the proposed development is less than or equal to the unallocated MU supply.

B. Concurrency Reservation. Any development required to comply with the provisions of this chapter shall obtain a concurrency reservation. This reservation is required to be provided with the permit application for the project. A proposed development project will receive a concurrency reservation when it passes the concurrency test that will reserve the MUs needed for the development from the supply of available MUs. The reservation will be valid for one year, and if not used will return the MUs to the available supply. If a project development permit application has been received and is under review, the director may extend the reservation for an additional year.

C. Certificate of Concurrency. The director shall issue a certificate of concurrency to a proposed development that passes the concurrency test in conjunction with the project development permit approval.

A certificate of concurrency shall include the location of the development proposal, the number of MUs allocated, and the implementing permit number to which the certificate applies and any further information necessary to administer this chapter. The certificate may not be transferred to another proposed development.

The certificate of concurrency will become invalid if a complete building permit application is not received by the city within one year of the certificate being issued. A certificate of concurrency issued to a phased project will remain valid for up to six years if continuous permitting activity is maintained.

D. Certificate of Concurrency Denial. A certificate of concurrency will be denied if the available MU supply is less than the MU demand from the proposed development.

E. Director’s Determination and Appeal Process.

1. The director shall issue a concurrency determination approving, approving with mitigation, or denying the development proposal in accordance with this chapter.

2. The concurrency determination shall be issued in writing. Notice of the director’s decision and any mitigation required shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation, which may be consolidated with any other notice required by the Bellevue Land Use Code or Environmental Procedures Code.

3. Any party who has standing to appeal may appeal the director’s decision to the hearing examiner pursuant to the Process II appeal procedures, LUC 20.35.250. If notice of the concurrency determination was consolidated with notice of a decision on the underlying development proposal, the appeal of the concurrency determination shall be consolidated with any appeal of the underlying development proposal.

4. Any appeal of the director’s decision must be filed with the city clerk within the time period required in Process II, LUC 20.35.200 et seq. (Ord. 6667 § 2, 2022.)
