Developer is proposing to the City to develop five residential for -sale, <br />condominium units on the Property (the "Proj eet ), as more particularly set forth in Tentative <br />Tract Map No. 2015 -04 (County Map No. 17715), Density Bonus Application No. 2015 -01, <br />Environmental Review No. 2014 -12, and Development Plan Review No. DP 2014 -7. <br />D.

Section 41- <br />1602 of the Municipal Code referenced above, require such agreement to be the subject of a <br />density bonus housing agreement. <br />E.
