This requirement shall apply to all land divisions even though JCC § 19.84.020(A) and (B) specify a one-acre threshold. The Water Resources Director or the Planning Director shall administer the requirements of Chapter 19.84 JCC.

Trip generation calculations shall be based on the most recent edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineer's Trip Generation Manual. The traffic assessment shall determine the consistency of the use with the identified function, capacity and performance standards of the Louse Creek freeway interchange. The use may be limited or altered by conditions in the permit approval so that consistency is achieved, or denied if consistency cannot be achieved.
