The assignment of points for a development permit is vested for the duration of the development permit, including after a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued, up to the vesting period as specified in section 9-1-17-8 of this chapter. When an applicant requests to modify or apply for a new development permit on the same property during the vested period, the applicant may use positive points associated with the valid development permit (only those positive points that exceeded a 0 point score) to offset negative points accrued in the permit modification or new development permit.
