FINDINGS OF FACT
1 . The Washington State Legislature, through RCW 36 .70A. 070(6)(b), requires counties to
adopt and enforce ordinances which prohibit developments that would cause the level of
service on locally owned transportation facilities to fall below the adopted standards
unless improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of the development are
made concurrent with the development (in place at the time of development or a financial
commitment is made to complete the improvements within six years) .
2 . The Washington State Legislature, through Chapter 82 . 02 RCW, authorizes cities and
counties planning under GMA to impose impact fees on development activity as part of
the financing for public facilities to help ensure that adequate facilities are available to
serve new growth and development.
3 . New residential development resulting from forecasted population growth will create
additional demand for transportation facilities.
P. 1
6. The amendments conform to RCS 82 .02 . 060, which lists provisions required in local
ordinances.
7 . The amendments conform to RCW 82 . 02 . 060(2), which authorizes jurisdictions to

14 The GMA expressly authorizes cities and counties to impose impact fees on new
15 development to help finance the capital facilities required to serve new development. This
16 authorization applies only to capital facilities owned or operated by government entities : (a)
17 public streets and roads ; (b) publicly owned parks , open space , and recreation facilities ; (c)
18 school facilities ; and (d) fire protection facilities in jurisdictions that are not part of a fire
19 district. Certain background information that must be included in a capital facilities element of
20 the Comprehensive Plan in order to collect transportation impact fees is included in Appendix
21 G .

9 The Growth Management Act requires jurisdictions to adopt a transportation element which
10 includes land use assumptions , estimated traffic impacts to state-owned transportation
11 facilities , a facilities and services inventory, level of service standards for arterials and
12 transit routes , actions to bring services below level of service standards into compliance ,
13 forecasts of traffic for ten years consistent with the land use plan , identification of system
14 expansion needs and a management system to meet the needs . It also requires a financing
15 analysis of funding capability, a multi-year financing plan and alternatives in case funding
16 falls short. Demand management strategies are to be created .
17
18 This comprehensive plan addresses the above requirements through this chapter, the six-
19 year transportation improvement program , the Whatcom County Transportation Plan
20 (including the Whatcom County Transportation Plan Existing Conditions Report) ,
21 incorporated herein by reference , and Chapter 4: Capital Facilities. Land use assumptions
22 used for transportation planning , inventories , level of service standards , traffic projections
23 and alternative system expansion needs are quantified in the Whatcom County
24 Transportation Plan . Financing analysis and multi-year financing plans are in the six-year
25 transportation improvement program . Goals , policies and actions , level of service
26 standards , actions to take in case funding falls short, demand management strategies and
27 specific recommended improvements are included in this chapter.
28
29 GMA requires adequate transportation facilities to be provided concurrent with
30 development. In the goals and policies of this chapter, Whatcom County establishes
31 the acceptable levels of service (LOS) for county-owned transportation facilities . Per
32 GMA, any development that would cause the level of service on a county facility to fall
33 below the adopted LOS must be denied , unless improvements that accommodate the
34 impacts of the development — or other strategies that accommodate the growth , such as
35 increased transit service -- are made concurrent with the development.

41 Overall County Transportation
42
43 Over the next two decades Whatcom County will be shaping its transportation network with
44 several fundamental goals in mind . The system must be cost-effective ; it must be
45 compatible with subarea , county and regional plans ; it must be properly maintained and
46 upgraded ; it must provide access for transit and non-motorized travel ; and it must offer
47 acceptable levels of service and safety.
1
EXHIBIT A Chapter Six Transportation
1 The LOS standards adopted for county-owned transportation facilities in Policy 6A-3 are
2 measures of traffic congestion on arterial and collector roadway segments , expressed as a
3 ratio of estimated volume in weekday afternoon peak hours to roadway capacity. Levels of
4 service range from completely unrestricted flow of traffic ( LOS A) to stop-and-go traffic jams
5 ( LOS F) . At LOS C or better the road segment is less than or equal to 80% full (or a
6 volume-to-capacity ratio of less than or equal to 0 . 80) . The flow of traffic is generally stable ,
7 though individual users are significantly affected by the presence of other vehicles . At LOS
8 D the volume-to-capacity ratio is greater than 0 . 80 but less than or equal to 0 . 9 . At LOS D
9 small increases in flow may cause some delays and decreases in speed during the
10 afternoon peak hour.
11
12 The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has adopted levels of
13 service for highways of statewide significance and the Regional Transportation Planning
14 Organization , in consultation with WSDOT, has adopted levels of service for other state
15 highways . For state highways in Whatcom County the standards are LOS D in urban areas
16 and LOS C in rural areas . Similar to the LOS adopted on state highways , Whatcom County
17 generally adopts for its roadways a LOS D in urban areas and LOS C in rural areas , though
18 for some of the rural roads that function as primary routes connecting major activity centers
19 (as designated in the regional Whatcom Transportation Plan) , the county adopts a LOS D to
20 reflect higher peak-hour volumes .
21
22
23 GOAL 6k Provide for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods .
24
25 Policy 6A- 1 : Make safety and mobility the primary considerations in ranking
26 transportation improvements .
27
28 Policy 6A-2 : Use the transportation planning process to identify transportation
29 system needs throughout the county in order to provide adequate
30 transportation facilities and services to meet current and future travel
31 needs ; identify and protect specific transportation corridors and
32 alignments where transportation facilities including auto , commercial ,
33 bicycle , transit and rail are needed .
34
35 Policy 6A-3 : Establish the following levels of service ( LOS) for purposes of
36 maintaining transportation concurrency:
37
38 • A volume-to-capacity ratio less than 0 . 75 during weekday p . m .
39 peak hours for county arterials and collectors located outside of
40 urban growth areas , except for specified primary routes as shown
41 on Map 14A, which shall have a volume-to-capacity ratio less than
42 or equal to 0 . 90 (LOS D) .
43
44 • A volume-to-capacity ratio less than or equal to 0 . 90 (LOS D or
45 better) during weekday p . m . peak hours for county arterials and
46 collectors within urban growth areas not associated with cities ,
47 which may be reduced for concurrency evaluation purposes in
48 accordance with Policy 6A-4 .
2
EXHIBIT A Chapter Six Transportation
1
2 • A volume-to-capacity ratio less than or equal to 0 . 9 during
3 weekday p . m . peak hours (equivalent to LOS D) for county
4 arterials and collectors within city urban growth areas , which may
5 be reduced for concurrency evaluation purposes in accordance
6 with Policy 6A-4 .

16
17 Policy 6A-4 : For proposed developments in designated urban growth areas ,
18 increase the volume-to-capacity ratio standard for impacted
19 transportation facilities by 0 . 05 if at least one of the following amenities
20 is existing or is committed to being provided as part of the
21 development:
22
23 0 Transit service and stop within one quarter mile walking
24 distance accessible from the development using non-motorized
25 facilities that meet or are functionally equivalent to Whatcom
26 County Road Standards
27 0 Non-motorized facilities that meet or are functionally equivalent
28 to Whatcom County Road Standards along the impacted facility
29
30
31
32 Policy 6A-5 : Encourage extension of city concurrency review authority and LOS
33 standards into their respective UGAs to provide for greater
34 consistency in concurrency review for urban areas .
35
36 Policy 6A-6 : Identify and mitigate safety and other impacts to transportation
37 facilities caused by development during SEPA review, using standards
38 adopted for intersections and other minimum standards established by
39 WCC Development Standards .
40
41
42
43 Policy 6A-7 : Consider implementation of Intelligent Transportation Systems ( ITS)
44 technology to increase safety, reduce traffic congestion , decrease
45 delays , expedite commercial vehicle travel , and provide appropriate
46 traveler information .

EXHIBIT A Chapter Six Transportation
1 Financing
2
3 The Growth Management Act is very specific in its requirement that transportation
4 improvements must be based on financial capability. Furthermore the Act requires that
5 improvements must occur concurrent with developments . It is therefore very important to
6 coordinate funding and land-use-driven transportation improvements .
7
8 The majority of county transportation dollars are spent on upkeep and maintenance of the
9 existing road system with a much smaller amount available for major improvements and
10 even less for actual capacity improvements . Potential additional revenue sources include a
11 greater share of gas tax revenues and impact and/or mitigation fees . Gas tax revenues can
12 only be imposed through a vote of the people . Impact and/or mitigation fees are enforced
13 through a county ordinance and are intended to pay for improvements required as result of
14 additional traffic generated by development.
15
16 GMA authorizes counties to impose impact fees that fund a proportionate share of
17 transportation system improvements made necessary by planned growth . Whatcom County
18 has identified future system improvements eligible for impact fee funding and has enacted a
19 transportation impact fee system to fund a portion of those projects that are reasonably
20 related to and reasonably benefit the planned growth .
21
22 GOAL 6B : Create a cost-effective transportation system that optimizes
23 public investment.
24
25
26
27
. 28 Policy 6B-6 Utilize impact fees to fund a proportionate share of the costs of
29 transportation system improvements that benefit and are reasonably
30 related to new development.
31
32 Policy 6B-7 : Identify and pursue funding sources for activities and improvements
33 which encourage the use of transportation modes other than the
34 single-occupant vehicle .
35
36 Policy 6B-8 : Use the financial resources available for transportation improvements
37 to support a program of capital facilities needed for a multi-modal
38 transportation system . The priority ranking system should balance the
39 overall system and individual improvement needs .
40
41 Policy 6B-9 : Consider and address any major fluctuations between expected
42 revenues and needed improvement costs during the annual review
43 process of the comprehensive plan . Such resolution could result in a
44 reassessment of land use allocation , level of service standards and/or
45 revenue availability.
46
47 Policy 6B- 10 : Implement a methodology for public-private partnerships when it would
48 result in a more efficient use of public resources .

9 The Citizens' Transportation Advisory Committee and Technical Transportation Advisory
10 Committee worked out a list of criteria for judging the effectiveness of a transportation
11 network. The elements include uncongested traffic flow; sound engineering and
12 construction ; safety; mobility; facilities for public transit, bicycles , and pedestrians ; access to
13 air, rail , and other forms of transportation ; and cost effectiveness . Whatcom County's
14 program of local arterial improvements has to address all these aspects .
15
16 GOAL 6H : Ensure an efficient regional system of arterials that is functional ,
17 safe, and consistent with regional priorities and city and county
18 comprehensive plans .
19
20 Policy 6H- 1 : Develop access control plans , which may include joint driveways , for
21 classifications higher than neighborhood collector roads ; and require
22 new developments to minimize the number of access points to road
23 classifications higher than neighborhood collector roads .
24
25 Policy 6H -2 : Where new arterials or collectors are necessary, such routes should
26 follow topographic or land use patterns which minimize disruption to

TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Identification of Transportation Projects to Serve New Development
State Law Requirement
State law requires that impact fees may be collected and spent only for the public facilities defined
in RCW 82 . 02 . 090 (including roads) that are addressed by a capital facilities plan element of a
comprehensive land use plan (RCW 82 . 02 . 050(4)) . State law also requires that the County's
Comprehensive Plan must identify additional transportation facility improvements required to serve
new development (RCW 82 . 02 . 050(4) (c)) .
Procedure
Through a transportation impact fee program development study performed in 2007-08, the County
has developed a list of planned system improvements that are reasonably related to the impacts of
projected growth and are therefore eligible for funding through impact fees. The Six-Year
Transportation Improvement Program shows all projects that are programmed for construction in
2009 through 2014 .
Results
Whatcom County has identified transportation facility improvements necessary to serve new
development as shown below.
