Reduction in Planned Densities. To provide an opportunity to develop a variety of housing types and a range of affordability, the Developer proposed, and the CEDHSP allows in certain areas of the Project, the development of a range of housing types and densities. Submitted applications which are consistent with the permitted uses identified in the Specific Plan shall be considered consistent with this Agreement. Submitted projects shall be approved for such sites in accordance with the provisions of the Specific Plan, and density (or lack thereof) shall not be a basis upon which any such submitted map may be denied. The parties acknowledge that as the Property develops and tentative subdivision maps are approved and final subdivision maps are recorded, the actual densities realized for some of the parcels may be more or less than the planned densities set forth therefor in the CEDHSP (the “Planned Densities”), consistent with applicable Specific Plan provisions. County and Developer acknowledge and agree that Developer may reduce planned densities below the minimum number authorized by the Specific Plan (but may not increase above planned maximums), at its discretion, subject only to maintaining a minimum buildout density within the overall CEDHSP of 3.8 residential units per developable acre to maintain consistency with SACOG’s MTP/SCS.
