Implementation Regulations Growth Limitation Plan 2. Traffic Weighted Point Score The traffic weighted point score will be calculated by the Planning Manager. The Planning Manager will consider the number of net new P.M. peak hour trips generated by the proposal, the number of points that are deducted based on the peak hour trips, and the number of points that will be credited based on meeting preference criteria (see Appendix A). In reviewing the point score, the Planning Manager will determine whether crediting the maximum number of points for each qualifying preference item is warranted, or whether partial credit is more appropriate. Included in Appendix A are additional attributes that the Planning Manager may consider when determining point scores. When it is determined that the application complies with all submittal requirements, and receives a higher score than the minimum qualifying score on the traffic weighted point system, the application will be deemed complete.

The Community Development Director will determine whether a Negative Declaration or an Environmental Impact Report is required for the proposed project. C.
