Table 1 allocates mull-amilylownhouses: asa percentage of the total number of units built. The Alternate Table 1 on page 6 allocates multi-family and townhouse units exactly the way that Bermuda Run allocates them. Alternate Table 1 allows much more multi-family development that Table 1. Table 1 will stop multi-family development in the toreseeable future in the Neighborhood Residential and Highway Commercial districts.

There is an adequate control element by going through the conditional zoning process for multi-family, which would be required under the other changes to the ordinance.
