the affordable housinc reauirement shall be reassessed if
the use is chanced.
iii The applicant may also satisfy the affordable housinc
re~c uirement at the time of final subdivision approval for
all or a portion of the lots created within the rezoned area,
provided that in that case, the applicant shall be required
to earn one affordable housinc credit for every ten full-

iv When an applicant presents its Alan for satisfyinG an
affordable housinc requirement, it shall have an
opportunity to demonstrate that current economic

development do not warrant the imposition of the
above-stated Generalized requirements. The
administrator and County housinc acency shall
consider such conditions in determininG whether
lesser requirements are warranted because of a lower
demand created by that particular development or
because of sufficient supply in the area. The
administrator and County housinc acency shall also
take into account the extent to which the imposition of
these requirements on private industrial
developments and not upon exempted State industrial
lands that may create an unequal competitive
situation for new development."
