c provides for Multi-Residential Development in a variety of forms;
d has the tallest Multi-Residential Development with the highest density;
e has Multi-Residential Development where intensity is measured by floor area ratio to provide flexibility in building form and Dwelling Unit size and number;
f is located on strategic parcels, including landmark locations, transit and transportation corridors and nodes and employment concentrations;
g requires that Multi-Residential Development achieves a minimum density;
h provides the opportunity for a range of support commercial multi-residential uses, restricted in size with few restrictions on location within the building;
i provides outdoor space for social interaction; and
