(a) For purposes of this section, “quantified development standard” means a site’s maximum density or requirements for a height limit, setback, maximum or minimum unit size, lot coverage, or floor area ratio.
(b) To the extent that a quantified development standard contained in a general plan element is inconsistent with a quantified development standard contained in another element, the provisions of the most recently adopted element shall supersede inconsistent provisions of the previously adopted element.
(c) If a local agency has established a specific deadline under subdivision (c) of Section 65583 to amend a local ordinance, development standard, condition, or policy applicable to quantified development standards, or timelines or processes relating to entitlement and permitting decisions, and the local agency has failed to make that amendment by the specified deadline, the department shall undertake the review described in subdivision (i) of Section 65585.
