If the request is for a development that contains five (5) or more affordable housing units, the
following shall be satisfied:

housing targets.
The location of the affordable housing units meets the City’s comprehensive plan policies for
the proposed housing type and density.
Approval of the impact fee reduction does not exempt the proposed affordable housing units
