concurrency within a specified time period. However, the intent of the City's schedule, <br /> which includes assumptions about programmed State and Federal shares, is to establish a <br /> reasonably secure commitment to the improvement or program. Any money collected as <br /> mitigation to achieve concurrency will, in good faith, be assigned to the committed <br /> program. The improvement program will only assume the availability of funds that have <br /> been identified in its fiscal assumptions. These available funds form the basis for the <br /> determination that the City is capable of achieving concurrency during the planning period. <br /> Projects and programs that are identified in the investment program as wanted but <br /> unfunded may later be financed if new resources become available. However, these <br /> unfunded projects are not part of the long-range concurrency feasibility determination. <br /> Table 3 lists projects and programs for the Preferred Plan. <br /> Scheduling and Funding of State Facilities and Programs <br /> State transportation facilities are an important as well as an integral part of the <br /> transportation system and, therefore, affect City project scheduling as well as its ability to <br /> maintain concurrency. The scheduling and funding of State projects and programs are the <br /> responsibility of the State; but these projects and programs are approved for consistency <br /> regionally in a collaborative process through the Regional Transportation Planning <br /> Organization(the Puget Sound Regional Council). They must be coordinated with the • <br /> growth management plans and programs of the region's jurisdictions. Acceptance by the <br /> State of the overall regional and local comprehensive plans assumes a policy commitment <br /> to support implementation of these plans through subsequent programming of planned <br /> State projects. Developer and City contributions for State projects will be included within <br /> the City's investment program. <br /> Mitigation, Monitoring and Management <br /> Improvements and programs address all facilities that are involved in moving people and <br /> goods within the planning area, regardless of jurisdiction. The burden of mitigation to <br /> achieve Concurrency is placed upon the system plan of improvements and programs which <br /> are themselves a strategy for implementing the City's Comprehensive Plan and Vision. A <br /> project-level test will be applied during development permitting to establish contributions <br /> and to monitor progress, but not to make planning policy decisions. Every development is <br /> assumed to be concurrent if it contributes its calculated fair share toward the <br /> implementation of the City's adopted investment strategy(including contributions for <br /> improvements to other jurisdiction's facilities in the City's planning area). The investment <br /> strategy is a general listing of projects and programs including general costs and probable <br /> timing(Table 3). These transportation improvements reflect what the Preferred Plan is <br /> attempting to accomplish and the types of projects and programs that must be in place as <br /> development permits are issued to meet the system demand calculated from assumptions <br /> for planned population and employment growth. Any private share is a percentage of the <br /> planned improvements or programs and is proportional to the amount of growth planned <br /> within each subarea. <br /> Six-Year Program Recommendations <br /> The first six-year transportation improvement program is shown in Table cif. This program <br /> reflects existing commitments as well as commitments to new or revised projects or <br /> 197 <br /> • <br /> T-39 <br />
