A. Increased Impact on Transportation Facilities. If a change of use shall add 10 or more peak hour trips to a corridor, then a concurrency encumbrance letter shall be required for the direct traffic impacts of the added trips only; provided, that the applicant does provide reasonably sufficient evidence to the satisfaction of the director, that the previous use has been actively maintained on the site during the five-year period prior to the date of application for the concurrency evaluation.

B. Decreased Impact on Transportation Facilities. If a change of use shall have a lesser impact on transportation facilities than the previous use, then no concurrency encumbrance letter shall be required. For the purpose of this section, “previous use” shall mean: (1) the use existing on the site when a concurrency evaluation is sought; or (2) the most recent use on the site, within the five-year period prior to the date of application. If no use existed on the site for the five-year period prior to the date of application, no concurrency credit shall be issued pursuant to this subsection.

C. Demolition or Termination of Use. In the case of a demolition or termination of an existing use or structure, the concurrency evaluation for future redevelopment shall be based upon the net increase of the impact for the new or proposed land use as compared to the land use existing prior to demolition; provided, that such credit is utilized, through capacity reservation, within five years of the date of the issuance of the demolition permit.
