The rule states that: (1) Amendments to functional plans, acknowledged comprehensive plans, and land use regulations which significantly affect a transportation facility shall assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity, and performance standards (e.g. level of service, volume to capacity ration etc.) of the facility. This shall be accomplished by either: (a) Limiting allowed land uses to be consistent with the planned function, capacity, and performance standards of the transportation facility; (b) Amending the TSP to provide transportation facilities to support the proposed land uses consistent with the requirements of this division; Exhibit A to Ordinance No. ___ 4 of 10
