Kittitas (pronounced 'kit-i-tass') County is located in central Washington State. It spans from the lush forested Cascade Mountains to the upper Yakima River Valley plains and the Columbia River.
Transportation concurrency requires development to have sufficient transportation facilities in place to support the increased traffic caused by the development. RCW 36.70A.070(6)(b) requires jurisdictions to "adopt and enforce ordinances which prohibit development approval if the development causes the level of service on a locally owned transportation facility to decline below the standards in the comprehensive plan unless transportation improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are made concurrent with the development."
Kittitas County adopted a transportation concurrency Ordinance 2011-011 on November 15, 2011. The ordinance is codified in section 12.10 of the Kittitas County Code.
Public Works reviews transportation concurrency applications and determines whether adequate transportation facilities exist. Below are the transportation concurrency determination findings that Public Works has issued.
