From the transcript
And so that is not one of the the assembly's priorities. But this does address that. The way we've addressed in the past is in our multifamily code, under what is considered a dwelling unit, condo units created through one— through this process are considered a dwelling unit, even though there's no structure there necessarily. If you're creating squares on a map, that is an individual unit associated with the condominium development that is considered dwelling unit.. And so, uh, we have been processing multi-family development permits for these condo plats, and it's not— it's kind of a square peg in a round hole type situation.
