Strategic Growth Study does not consider potential impact of "35% urban uplift" in the calculation of housing need thus increasing the HMA shortfall. More flexibility should be built into meeting future development needs.
Table 8 - although demonstrates a 13% 'buffer' - is not a sufficient demonstration of proposed allocations providing a rolling 5YHLS at adoption.
