> >predictability and consistency in the Zoning Code in matters related to

> >consistent language related to Type II Quasi-Judicial hearings and defines 
> >the term "affected person" in order to establish who has legal standing to

> >unit" which allows five (5) or six (6) people to live together as a single 
> >family unit upon the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit in FR, SR, R-1, 
> >R-2, and R-3 and allows a residential rental unit by right in AF, R-4, RO,
