Traffic Impact Analysis
The City of Yelm has adopted a concurrency management system as required by the Growth Management Act. Chapter 15.40 YMC (Concurrency Management) is designed to ensure that the improvements
required to support development are available at the time of development. A concurrency determination may be issued for a proposal as it relates to transportation issues when: the development

identified the six year transportation improvement program in the form of a Transportation Facilities Charge.

through measures that exceed the standards in the 1992 DOE stormwater manual as adopted by the City of Yelm.
