Background
The City Council first expressed interest in evaluating the City's transportation concurrency policies early in 2004 with review and discussion of the Briefing Paper on Interim Transportation Concurrency Options. After achieving concurrency in late 2005, focus returned to the City's transportation concurrency policies and the Council included a comprehensive review of these policies in the Planning Department's 2006 Work Plan.
Earlier this year the Administration evaluated the concurrency policies preferred by Planning Policy Commission (PPC) in 2002, the options outlined in the 2004 Briefing Paper, the findings of the October 2003 Eastside Transportation Concurrency Project (known as the BRIK Study (138 pages/1.89 MB), and the concurrency systems being used by seven other jurisdictions.
After review with the PPC on July 13, 2006 and City Council on July 23, 2006 three concurrency systems were selected for further study:
1) the City's existing system using screenpoints and Volume/ Planned Capacity (V/PC);
2) Enhanced Delay; and
3) Travel Time.
There was also general consensus on several characteristics / values that the ideal transportation concurrency system would have.
