19.06.010 - PURPOSE
It is the purpose of this Transportation Impact Fee Ordinance to: A. Ensure that adequate transportation facilities are available to serve new growth and development. B. Promote orderly growth and development by establishing city-wide standards by which new developments pay a fair and proportionate share of the cost of city-wide transportation facilities necessary to serve new growth. C. Provide a means for financing city-wide growth-related transportation improvements which allows for the imposition of fees levied through established consistent procedures and criteria. D. Maintain a minimum level of service E (LOS E) calculated as a volume-to-capacity ratio of .901 - 1.001 for the qualitative and quantitative service level of arterial street transportation facilities throughout the City, unless an alternative LOS standard has been adopted in the Bellingham Comprehensive Plan.
