B.
1. Transportation. This chapter shall apply to all development applications for development or redevelopment if the proposal or use will generate any new p.m. peak-hour trips. Every application for development shall be accompanied by a concurrency application. Developments or redevelopments, excluding an individual single-family residence, that will generate one or more new projected vehicle trips that will pass through an intersection or roadway section identified with a level of service below the acceptable level noted in the transportation element in the city’s comprehensive plan, or that will generate 15 or more new p.m. peak-hour trips shall also be required to have the city prepare a traffic report as defined in GHMC 19.10.011.
2. Water. This chapter shall apply to all development applications or outside city limits utility extension agreements (under Chapter 13.34 GHMC) for development or redevelopment if the proposal or use requires water from the city’s water system. In addition, this chapter shall apply to existing developments to the extent that the property owner requires water for a use not disclosed on a previously submitted water service application under GHMC 13.02.030 or a previously submitted application for a capacity reservation certificate.
3. Sewer. This chapter shall apply to all development applications or outside city limits utility extension agreements (under Chapter 13.34 GHMC) for development or redevelopment if the proposal or use requires sewer from the city’s sewer system. In addition, this chapter shall apply to existing developments to the extent that the property owner requires sewer for a use not disclosed on a previously approved request for sewer service or a previously approved application for a capacity reservation certificate.
