WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Gilroy has heretofore
amended Ordinance No. 422 of said City, known as the Zoning Ordi-
nance, by adopting Ordinance No. 662 which authorizes the creation of
"SIt or combining districts to include areas in other districts for
the purpose of providing regulations for site control, parking and
other development requirements; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Gilroy has
proposed on its own initiative that said Zoning Ordinance be further
amended by establishing and defining the exact areas which shall comprise
and be included in said ItSIt Districts and has duly reported to the
Council its recommendation that all of the City of Gilroy, except
that portion thereof, in ItA" and "EIt Districts as the same are de-
fined in said Zoning Ordinance, be included in and form said "SIt
Districts;~nd,
WHEREAS, it is necessary that the Council consider the adoption
of said proposed ordinance as recommended by the said Planning Com-
misSbn and to hold public hearings thereon, all of which will take
a considerable length of time, during which the said ordinance will
be largely circumvented by applications for, and granting of building
permits authorizing the erection of dwellings and structures which
will not conform to, but be in violation of said ordinance, if adopted;
and,
WHEREAS, it appears that the adoption of saidproposed amend-
ment to said Zoning Ordinance will be for the public welfare and in
the interest of public safety because it will tend to prevent the
increase of the parking of vehicles upon the public streets and the
increase of vehicle ~ongestion and traffic hazards by requiring each
building and structure which will be erected after the adoption of
1 -
(ptp 8
the ordinance to have sufficient off-street parking facilities for
its needs and will tend to the orderly development of the City, and no
building permits should be issued during the time the Council is con-
sidering and acting upon the proposed amendment and before the said
amendment, if adopted, takes effect, which will be contrary to the
provisions of said proposed amendment;
