Scheduled

ADEQUATE ALLOCATION OF NEW RESIDENTIAL USE BY RECONVERSION

<if needed.reduction_L && needed.growth_H: provision.L-=allocated.H

ADEQUATE ALLOCATION OF NEW DWELLINGS

<if DwgPerAnnum[CurrentYear]>MaxAnnual.H[CurrentYear]: MaxAnnual.H[CurrentYear+1]-=DwgPerAnnum[CurrentYear]


else: MaxAnnual.H[CurrentYear+1]+=MaxAnnual.H[CurrentYear]-DwgPerAnnum[CurrentYear] # #

Triggered

CHANGE BUILDING USE
