(1) A development with at least 9% of its units qualifying as extremely low income affordable housing may reduce minimum site width requirements by up to 50%;
(2) A development with 9% of its units qualifying as very low income affordable housing may reduce minimum site width requirements by up to 25%; or
(3) A development with 9% of its units qualifying as low income affordable housing may reduce minimum site width requirements by up to 10%.
