(a) As a key element of the city's land development code set out in subpart B to this code, the city shall implement a concurrency management system to measure the potential impact of any proposed development upon the levels of service for the six types of critical public facilities (potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, recreation, drainage and roadways) by evaluating that impact in comparison with available capacity and the city's adopted level-of-service standards for those facilities. No final development permit shall be approved unless this concurrency evaluation process has determined that adequate public facilities will be available at the time of development impact.

(b) The city also intends that at least annually there will be followup monitoring and evaluation of its performance with the objective of improving the system and enacting necessary changes in this chapter.

(c) The city intends that this chapter provide the basic principles and guidelines for implementation of this chapter. However, it is not the intent of the city that this chapter contain all of the detailed administrative procedures required for the day-to-day operation of the program. Instead, the city desires that the city officials responsible for this chapter possess a certain degree of flexibility and latitude to develop and employ such additional procedures, forms, etc., as they deem necessary for carrying out an effective and efficient concurrency management process. The city shall develop and use a concurrency manual or guide to assist city officials in the day-to-day administration of the program.

(d) It is not the intent of the city that the concurrency management system in any of its aspects, including concurrency evaluation and the issuance of the concurrency compliance certification, replace any other development review criteria used by the city, unless those criteria are inconsistent with this chapter. The concurrency management system is to primarily complement and not supplant the other review criteria. This also means that the mere issuance of a concurrency compliance certification does not guarantee approval of a development proposal if other project review criteria must also be satisfied.

(e) In addition to the concurrency evaluation process for the six types of critical public facilities, each proposed development project shall be subject to the concurrency evaluations for impact on wetlands required by section 106-26 et seq., pertaining to wetlands protection, prior to the issuance of a final development permit.
