12 ..
(e) The potential unit yield for a property, based on the minimum, growth
13 management control point (GMCP), Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) Base, or
maximum density of the applicable general plan land use designation, shall be subject to the
14 following:
15 (-)) Equation used to determine unit yield: developable lot area (in acres) x density =
unit yield.
16 ^
(A) "Density" used in this calculation is the minimum, GMCP, RHNA Base, or
^'^ maximum density of the applicable general plan land use designation;
