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 provides on-site frontage improvements; the project makes off-site improvements as necessary to provide for the safe movement of traffic; and the project makes a contribution to projects identifed the six year transportation improvement program in the form of a Transportation Facilities Charge. 3. Chapter 14.12 YMC requires the dedication of open space for all residential development. Section 14.12.050 YMC lists four (4) attributes for qualification of open space. 4. The Yelm School District has adopted a school mitigation requirement based on the demand that new residential units create for additional school services and facilities. Additional demands on the school system will be mitigated through the requirement that the developer enter into a mitigation agreement with the District. Mitigation Measures 1. The developer shall mitigate transportation impacts based on the new residential P. M. peak hour trips generated by the project.
