The college in turn ren�s �he living accamrnodations to the students housir�g four students in each one 6edroom unii and �ive sfud�nts in eacF� two bedroorn uni3�_ The buildings conta�in a�otal of �1 two bedroam unirs nnd 29 one bedroom units, with a tatai student accupancy of 321 persens. 6. The callege is seeking a variance i�o the four unrelated persons qualification so as to a11ow five unrelated persans in the 41 two bedroom ur►its which they occupy. li- is understood that this varianc� wiil 6e apglicable to th� buildings only unti! such time as the COII�gL' C�C1S�5 1'O I�C15� the units.
