1 Unallocated dwelling units represent those units remaining in a planning area that may be built anywhere in the same planning area. These units are within the maximum development intensity for the planning area; and, therefore, placement of unallocated dwelling units into any residential category within the planning area for purposes of development is determined to be consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code with regard to intensity allocation only, provided that placement is otherwise consistent with site specific zoning regulations and that any potential environmental impacts are adequately addressed, including traffic impacts, pursuant to CEQA.
