Jerry, I'm not sure I understand your "equal number" statement.  Say a
developer has a plot which is zoned for 40 units.  Under what conditions
does the developer get a density bonus?
a) if he/she offers 10 affordable, 40 market (i.e., the 25% bonus market
rate units (10) are equal to the number of affordable units),  OR
b) if he/she offers 25 affordable, 25 market (i.e., equal numbers affordable
and market rate).

Thanks, 
Jeffrey Hobson
