o
Conditions of this approval may require the developer to install public

condition is granted for any of the above justifications, the condition
allowing 1596 double occupancy (Condition I5) shall concurrently be
revoked.
o
A maximum of 15% of the units ( 6 units) may be double occupied. If,
when approved, the new Town Housing Element requires a lower
percentage of affordable units for residential projects than required through
this approval, and the operator chooses to lower the percentage provided
by this facility to conform with the Housing Element, the percentage of
double Occupied units shall be adjusted to remain proportional to the
percentage of affordable units provided.
o
(Mitigation Measure) Construction must take place in compliance with the
recommendations of a detailed acoustical study of the site. The acoustical
study must be completed prior to issuance of building permits for the
project.
