(b) The Department may consider Prohousing Policies that are integrated with other planning priorities (e.g., open space preservation, hazard mitigation, minimization of displacement) if the Prohousing Policy results in a net benefit or gain for the Acceleration of Housing Production.
(c) Each Prohousing Policy identified in an application shall receive a point allocation only once for purposes of that application.
(d) Applicants may identify Prohousing Policies that are or will be carried out in partnership with other entities, where the Prohousing Policy will have a direct effect on land use or development within the applicant's jurisdiction.
