Implementation Regulations Growth Limitation Plan B. Citywide Performance Standards Identify the project impacts on Citywide performance standards for administration facilities, libraries, police, fire, and parks (see Appendix B, Table 2 -8). C. Roadway Level of Service Standards Meet Roadway Level of Service Standards (Appendix B, Table 2 -9). Projects which demonstrate that roadway level of service standards will be met or maintained shall be processed according to standard review procedures. A traffic study is required to show how roadway level of service standards will be met or maintained. The study should include a description of what methods will be used to attain the standards. Acceptable methods of traffic mitigation may include physical and /or operational improvements. Operational improvements may be required as conditions for project approval. Methods which rely on operational limitations shall be approved by the Planning Commission before an allocation for square footage can be reserved. Agreements between the applicant and the City shall be recorded to ensure continuous compliance with operational mitigation measures. Closing a business during peak hour traffic periods is not acceptable. All methods of reducing peak hour trips will need to be assessed in a traffic report and reviewed and found to be acceptable by the Transportation Administrator. D. Traffic Weighted Point System Where it cannot be demonstrated that roadway levels of service standards will be met or maintained, the project must meet specific criteria in the traffic weighted point system (see Appendix A). The traffic weighted point system is a method of selecting projects on a 100 point scale where points are deducted based on the number of net new P.M. peak hour trips generated by a project, and are credited for meeting certain development objectives (preference criteria). To receive an allocation reservation for commercial square footage, or to qualify to develop a residential project, the total project score must be higher than the minimum qualifying score established by the City Council. At the beginning of each two -year development cycle, the City Council, with recommendations from the Planning and Design Review Commissions, shall review and establish: (1) the minimum qualifying point score; (2) the peak hour trip point reduction rate; (3) the preference criteria with point values; and (4) the amount of square footage to set aside for the small project reservation pool (see Glossary for definitions). If the City Council fails to adopt new point and 3
