Growth Management: The City's growth management policy (Ordinance 01 -03) implements growth policies of the comprehensive plan. It establishes limits on the number of new units to be approved as well on the use of MUSA reserve. The site is within the existing MUSA, so the MUSA reserve limit is not applicable The 147 units per year have been reached for 2004 (see attached table). Previous applications account for all lots in 2005. However, none of the projects listed in the table as "proposed" have been approved.
