The definitions of a High Occupancy Housing Development or Mixed-use High Occupancy Housing Development would determine which developments in the Transect Zones would require a Conditional Use Permit. In addition, the associated High Occupancy Housing land use would have to be allowed with a CUP in the Transect Zone.
