From the transcript
Our, our rules don't really fit what the development actually looks like. So this is an attempt at addressing that. It's essentially saying that if you're doing a condo plat and the lots that you're creating are over 40,000 square feet, that those are just create essentially treated as parcels. Uh, uh, so if you were to put— if you had a 40,000-square-foot lot or condo unit that you put 3 structures on, you'd have to get a multifamily permit for that one unit, for instance. But if you had a 10-acre parcel and you condominiumized it into 10 units, you wouldn't necessarily have to get a multifamily permit because If they're, if they're over 40,000 square feet, and if this at some point doesn't make sense, please stop me and ask me for clarification.
