Public Works and Buildings | Concurrency

5. A certificate of concurrency may be extended according to the same terms and conditions as the underlying development permit. If a development permit is granted an extension, the certificate of concurrency, if any, shall also be extended. Certificates of concurrency shall not be extended beyond the expiration of the underlying development permit, or any extensions thereof. 6. A certificate of concurrency is valid only for the uses and intensities authorized for the development permit for which it is issued. Any change in use or intensity that increases the impact of development on public facilities is subject to an additional concurrency test of the incremental increase in impact on public facilities. Any change in use or intensity that decreases the impact of development on public facilities is not subject to an additional concurrency test and any capacity that is not required as a result of the decrease in impact shall be available for other applications.

8. A certificate of concurrency runs with the land and cannot be transferred to a different parcel. A certificate of concurrency transfers automatically with ownership of the parcel for which the certificate was issued. Upon final subdivision approval of a parcel that has obtained a certificate of concurrency, the City shall replace the certificate of concurrency by issuing a separate certificate of concurrency to each subdivided parcel, assigning to each a pro rata portion of the public facility capacity or other measure that was reserved for the original certificate. The issuance of pro rata certificates of concurrency to subdivided parcels shall not extend or otherwise change the expiration of the certificates of concurrency.

G. Fees

1. The City shall charge each applicant an administrative fee and a concurrency test fee in an amount to be established by resolution by the City council. The concurrency test fee shall not be refundable after the concurrency test has been performed. 2. The City shall charge a processing fee to any individual who requests an informal analysis of capacity if the requested analysis requires substantially the same research as a concurrency test. The processing fee shall be nonrefundable and nonassignable to a concurrency test. The amount of the processing fee shall be the same as the concurrency test fee authorized by subsection 1. of this section.

7. A certificate of concurrency is valid only for the development permit with which it is issued, and for

subsequent development permits for the same parcel, as long as the applicant obtains the subsequent development permit prior to the expiration of the earlier development permit. A certificate of concurrency transfers automatically to subsequent development permits for the parcel for which the certificate was issued; provided, that the use or intensity has not changed, and the previous development permit has not expired. The transfer of validity of a certificate of concurrency from one development permit to a subsequent development permit shall not extend or otherwise change the expiration of the certificate of concurrency.

H. Appeals

1. An applicant may appeal a denial of a certificate of concurrency on the following grounds:
