Through the Chair, that was not the question.

The question was, how do we evaluate for conformance to policy LUA.1?

Okay, but it's unclear to me how that meets the finding for LU8.1.

Through the Chair, if I may address the Vice Chair, we were provided to understand in the Planning Commissioner Academy that even a single finding of non-conformance may be basis for finding the project non-conformant.

Absent that, one may bring up any finding, and if it is non-confirmant, the project may be motioned to be non-confirmant with the general plan, unless I hear why that should not be the case.

Yeah, there's a question for Director Mosley and Ms.
