Article IV. Submission and Acceptance of Application
19.10.011 Water, transportation and sewer – Application for capacity evaluation.
A. An application for a CRC and the application for the underlying development permit, or other activity, shall be accompanied by the requisite fee, as determined by city council resolution. An applicant for a CRC shall submit the following information to the director, on a form provided by the director together with a development application:
1. Date of submittal.
2. Developer’s name, address and telephone number.
3. Legal description of property as required by the underlying development permit application together with an exhibit showing a map of the property.
4. Proposed use(s) by land use category, square feet and number of units.
5. Phasing information by proposed uses, square feet and number of units, if applicable.
6. Existing use of property.
7. Acreage of property.
8. Proposed site design information, if applicable.
9. For transportation CRC applications only: A preliminary site plan, which is a plan showing the approximate layout of proposed structures and other development, type and number of dwelling units, type and number of nonresidential building areas with gross square footage, the land use codes per the most recent edition of Trip Generation from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), and an analysis of the points of access to existing and proposed roadways.
10. The applicant’s proposed mitigation (if any) for the impact on the city’s transportation facilities.
11. Written consent of the property owner, if different from the developer.
12. Proposed request of capacity by legal description, if applicable.
13. For water CRC applications only: Water hydraulic report prepared by a licensed professional engineer, which shall include the purpose for which the water is required.
14. For sewer CRC applications only: Sewer hydraulic report prepared by a licensed professional engineer, which shall include the purpose for which the sewer is required.
15. Stormwater drainage report prepared by a licensed professional engineer.
B. Transportation. The applicant is not required to submit a traffic impact analysis from an independent traffic engineer. Instead, those applicants with transportation CRC applications that are required to have the city provide a traffic report in accordance with GHMC 19.10.003(B)(1) shall instead pay to the city a deposit equal to the estimated fee for the city’s preparation of a traffic report. The amount of the fee shall be determined by city resolution and paid at the time of transportation CRC application submittal. The fee shall vary based on the number of new p.m. peak-hour trips produced by the development. The applicant shall be subject to repayment of fees for any subsequent revisions to the original traffic report. Fees for revisions may be an additional proportion of the original fee depending on the effort involved to revise the traffic report. Even if the traffic report is based on an estimation of impact, the applicant will still be bound by its estimation of impact, and any upward deviation from the estimated traffic impact shall require at least one of the following: a finding that the additional concurrency sought by the developer through a revised application is available to be reserved by the project; mitigation of the additional impact under SEPA; revocation of the CRC. (Ord. 1081 § 2, 2007; Ord. 1044 § 1, 2006; Ord. 862 § 1, 2001; Ord. 845 § 1, 2000; Ord. 818 § 1, 1999).
