In this case that is exactly what it does.
But the framework (Approx 340 units) is not what the developer wants.
Affordable housing ordinance is not the price of zoning, it is the price of more zoning than you got with the deed.
In the downtown districts, it is a little more straight forward. The minimum price for extra zoning is 80% of what it would cost to purchase enough extra land to support the increase. It's not so straight forward out in the neighborhoods.

Someone will, but they will lose.
There is no constitutional right to a zoning change.
The reasonable expectation for a fair hearing is the best anyone can hope for.
