<br />planning period.

Moreover, the proposed amendment <br />allows more intensive residential development in an area that is ullderserved by building types <br />that are allowed vvithin the Medium Density Residential designation. <br /> <br />The Residential Lands and Housing Study estimations of the long term projected land needs, and <br />the detennil1ation that there is an adequate inventory, serve to demonstrate that the minimum <br />needs have been met. The proposal adds to the supply of Medium Density Residential and <br />Commercial inventories without significantly affecting the supply of Low Density Residential <br />land. <br /> <br />In summary, ba...;;ed on the excess supply of residential land and the relatively small amount of <br />acreage involved in this application, our analysis finds that the applicant's plan amendment <br />proposal meets the requirements of statewide planning Goal 10, and supports applicable adopted <br />policies.
