17.03.002 Authority and general procedure.
The director shall be responsible for making determinations regarding concurrency and for issuing concurrency encumbrance letters according to the procedures in this chapter. The general procedure is as follows:
A. Property owner/developer makes application for a concurrency determination in conjunction with a project permit application or other development approval request. See BMC 17.03.014 for application procedure.
B. The city shall review an application and make an initial determination of consistency with the city’s development regulations under Chapter 11.04 BMC. The city shall then make a determination of concurrency under BMC 17.03.009 and 17.03.010. If the city determines that there is concurrency for the proposed project, a concurrency encumbrance letter is issued. The concurrency encumbrance letter is valid for 120 days.
C. Within the effective period of the concurrency encumbrance letter, the applicant must apply for capacity reservation (BMC 17.03.020).
D. Within the effective period of the capacity reservation, the building permit or approval for the development may be issued.
E. Upon issuance of the city building permit or other approval, the capacity becomes vested, unless the building permit or approval lapses prior to issuance of an occupancy permit. (Ord. 2014 § 1 (Exh. A), 2009; Ord. 1946 § 4, 2005; Ord. 1654 § 2, 1996; Ord. 1633 § 1, 1996).
