(a) Mountains, hills, valleys, wasteland, and related geographic and man-made features, which either enhance or impede travel.
(b) Rivers, lakes, canals, and other natural or man-made waterways and bodies of water, which either enhance or impede travel.
(c) The extent and nature of roads, highways, ferries, and traffic patterns.
(d) Climatic conditions.
(e) Time required to travel to and from school.
(6) After considering all factors, the regional committee shall make one judgment on geographic accessibility, regardless of how many individual components may apply to the particular transfer of territory petition.
(7) Each regional committee shall use the same criterion checklist included in the Guide to Changing School District Boundaries and published on the superintendent of public instruction website.
(8) If a regional committee needs to continue a public hearing or schedule more than one additional hearing on a proposed transfer of territory, each such hearing is subject to public notice requirements.
(9) Regional committees shall use the decision format (motion) included in the Guide to Changing School District Boundaries and published on the superintendent of public instruction website.
