HB 1736: Local trans facilities

Limiting the period of time in which level of service standards for local transportation facilities may be used to prohibit development under local comprehensive plans.

Summary

  • Establishes a one-time 24-month limit for prohibitions of development approvals for proposals that will cause the level of service (LOS) on a transportation facility to fall below locally adopted standards.
  • Specifies that after the prohibition period ends, the jurisdiction must make a decision on the development application, and may not deny the application based upon the proposal's impact on the LOS for a transportation facility.
  • Specifies that a developer's contribution to transportation improvements or strategies to accommodate the impacts of development are limited to mitigation that is consistent with provisions of the State Environmental Policy Act and excise tax requirements.
