fits within the allowance of the 2020 Plan, and

by the City, thus four (4) extra units are being proposed to bring the total new unit count to 44
units, and
WHEREAS, The overall site development, as proposed with 44 new units, would max out all
possible densities for this land area, unless a future Comprehensive Plan amendment would be
