      1   The District Council may waive the percentage requirements for one-family and multiple- family dwelling units, if it finds that a proposed development (a) is more desirable for stated environmental reasons than development in accordance with these limits, or (b) achieves goals, policies or recommendations stated in an approved and adopted master or sector plan.
      2   If the minimum percentage would yield a total of 150 multiple-family dwelling units or less, this requirement does not apply and no such units are required. Whenever the minimum percentage would yield 151 units or more, the full number is required, unless it is waived as provided by Footnote 1.
      3   Total number of dwelling units planned.
      4   One-family attached units may be substituted for all or part of this requirement.
      5   Four-story height limit may be waived for a building designated and approved as housing for senior adults or persons with disabilities if (a) such housing is in accord with both the purposes of the zone and County policies and goals concerning the need for such housing; and (b) appropriately located with respect to the special needs of senior adults or persons with disabilities.
