B. Procedures. The transportation capacity test will be performed by the city traffic engineer in conjunction with review of proposed development projects and building permit applications. The department of community and economic development shall notify the applicant of the test results. 1. If the unused capacity of transportation facilities affected by a project is equal to or greater than the capacity required by the project, the transportation capacity test is passed. 2. If the unused capacity of transportation facilities affected by a project is less than the capacity required by the project, the transportation capacity test is not passed. The project may not be approved unless transportation improvements or strategies to provide capacity required by the project are established concurrently with the project. 3. In the event a proposed project does not pass the transportation capacity test, the applicant may: a. Modify the application to reduce the transportation capacity required by the project; b. Demonstrate to the city's satisfaction that the project will require less transportation capacity than would normally be required by similar projects and that, therefore, unused transportation capacity is adequate; c. Propose transportation improvements or strategies to provide the capacity required by the project development. C. Test. Proposed developments that would reduce the level of service below the minimum level of service standard cannot be approved. For transportation facilities, available and planned transportation capacity will be used in conducting the transportation capacity test. The city will maintain administrative policies which describe the methodology for calculating the capacity analysis. Such policies shall be available for public information at the time of application. D. Fees. A fee as listed in the City of Yakima Master Fee Schedule adopted by city council via resolution, shall be paid for each transportation capacity test, except that this fee shall be waived for one subsequent test within six months of a test for which the fee was paid.
