(1) This chapter is enacted pursuant to City of Covington’s powers as a noncharter code city, RCW Title 35 and the Growth Management Act, RCW 36.70A.070.

(2) It is the purpose of this chapter to:

(a) Provide adequate levels of service on transportation facilities for existing use as well as new development in the City of Covington;

(b) Provide adequate transportation facilities that achieve and maintain City standards for levels of service as provided in the comprehensive plan, as amended; and

(c) Ensure that City level of service standards are achieved “concurrently” with development (as required by the Growth Management Act) by denying approval of development that would cause the level of service on transportation facilities to decline below City standards. Applicants for development may propose mitigation measures that will achieve and maintain the City’s standard for level of service. (Ord. 38-02 § 2 (12.70.010))
