THE CITY OF GILROY EXTENDING FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR
URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 2011 -11 PROHIBITING THE
APPROVAL OF ANY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT EAST
OF HIGHWAY 101
WHEREAS, Government Code sections 65580 through 65589.8 require local agencies to
adopt, implement and periodically revise a housing element into their general plans to
accommodate their respective fair share of new and affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, Government Code section 65589.3 provides that if the California Department
of Housing and Community Development ( "HCD ") finds that a housing element or housing
element revision substantially complies with Article 10.6 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the
Government Code (sections 65580 through 65589.8), then the housing element or housing
element revision is rebuttably presumed to be valid; and
WHEREAS, on August 19, 2010, after months of study and working with a planning
consultant knowledgeable on State law requirements for housing elements, the City of Gilroy
( "City ") submitted its proposed housing element revision ( "Housing Element Revision") to HCD
for its review and "substantial compliance" finding under Government Code section 65589.3; and
WHEREAS, the City thereafter submitted to HCD several revised housing element
revision drafts responding to HCD's comments and suggestions; and
WHEREAS, during the time the City was working with HCD on the Housing Element
Revision, the City was processing an application, received in approximately April 2009, for a new
residential housing project located east of Highway 101, which proposed use conflicted with the
City's long standing General Plan policy not to allow any new residential development east of
Highway 101 and conflicted with the City's contemplated Housing Element Revision under
review; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65858 provides that a city may, with or without
following the notice and public hearing procedures otherwise required prior to the adoption of a
zoning ordinance, "adopt as an urgency measure an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses that
may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the
1MDOLINGER11049725.3 -1- ORDINANCE NO. 2012 -10
070912-04706083
legislative body, planning commission or the planning department is considering or studying or
intends to study within a reasonable time "; and
WHEREAS, on August 1, 2011, because HCD had yet to issue a substantial compliance
finding as to the City's proposed Housing Element Revision, and because the City was still in the
process of studying and considering the Housing Element Revision, the City Council at a duly
noticed public meeting took testimony and adopted Ordinance No. 2011 -11 (a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit "A "), an urgency interim ordinance that prohibited the approval of
development entitlements, including but not limited to, tentative maps, zoning amendments, use
permits, building permits, or any other entitlements, for the construction of new residential
projects in the City on the east side of Highway 101 for a period of 45 days unless extended in
accordance with Government Code Section 65858(a); and
WHEREAS, on September 12, 2011, in accordance with Government Code section
65858(a), the City Council at a duly noticed public meeting took testimony and adopted
Ordinance No. 2011 -12 ( "First Extension Ordinance," a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit `B" (without exhibits)), which extended the moratorium established by Ordinance No.
2011 -11 for a period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days unless extended in accordance with
Government Code Section 65858(a); and
WHEREAS, the adoption of Ordinance No. 2011 -11 and Ordinance No. 2011 -12 were
necessary to provide additional time for the City and HCD to complete their planning,
consideration and analysis of the proposed Housing Element Revision and were necessary to
prohibit the approval of new residential projects and uses east of Highway 101 that might be in
conflict with the planning process; and
WHEREAS, the City received a letter from HCD, dated September 13, 2011, stating that
the City's proposed Housing Element Revision will comply with State housing element law once
the Element has been adopted and once the City accomplishes rezonings necessary to address any
unaccommodated need for higher density residential and mixed -use development as described in
the Housing Element Revision; and
WHEREAS, on February 6, 2012, the City Council at a duly noticed public meeting
adopted Resolution 2012 -08, which adopted the 2007 -2014 Housing Element (that is, the Housing
Element Revision), as an amendment to the 2002 -2020 General Plan; and
WDOLINGEM1049725.3 -2- ORDINANCE NO. 2012 -10
070912 - 04706083
WHEREAS, since the time of the City Council's adoption of the Housing Element
Revision on February 6, 2012, City staff have been in the process of studying, considering and
developing recommendations for amendments to the City Zoning Ordinance in order to
implement provisions of the Housing Element Revision; and
WHEREAS, the adopted Housing Element Revision specifically locates all new
residential development to the west side of Highway 101, and any new residential development
projects proposed to be located on the east side of Highway 101 would directly conflict with the
City's current process of studying and considering amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to
implement the Housing Element Revision; and
WHEREAS, on July 16, 2012, in accordance with State law, the City Council held a duly
noticed public hearing and took testimony regarding this second urgency interim ordinance
extension ( "Second Extension Ordinance "); and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered, and by adopting this Second Extension
Ordinance ratifies and adopts, the July 10, 2012 report prepared by the City Attorney, which
describes the measures taken to date to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of
Ordinance No. 2011 -11 and Ordinance No. 2011 -12; and
WHEREAS, said report explains that following the City Council's adoption of the
Housing Element Revision, City planning staff have been working on proposed amendments to
the City Zoning Ordinance necessary to implement certain provisions of the Housing Element
Revision, and this process is not yet complete; and
WHEREAS, the conditions justifying the adoption of Ordinance No. 2011 -11 and
Ordinance No. 2011 -12 have not been alleviated, that is, during the City's planning process of
studying, reviewing, adopting and implementing the Housing Element Revision, an application
for a new residential development east of Highway 101 that conflicts with the Housing Element
Revision was submitted and processed by the City and such application is still pending; and
WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to extend the moratorium established by
Ordinance No. 2011 -11 and extended by Ordinance No. 2011 -12 for an additional one year, as
permitted by Government Code Section 65858(a), so that proposed amendments to the Zoning
Ordinance, and possibly the Gilroy City Code, which are necessary to implement the Housing
Element Revision can be fully considered, studied, reviewed and adopted within a reasonable
time; and
1MDOLINGEM1049725.3 -3- ORDINANCE NO. 2012 -10
070912 - 04706083
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that this Second Extension Ordinance is not subject to
the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") (Public Resources Code sections 21000 et
seq.), because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment, and it does not have the potential to result in a physical change to the environment,
directly or indirectly (Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations ( "CEQA
Guidelines ") sections 15060(c)(2) and (3)).

The approval of any development entitlements for residential development projects in the

amendments, use permits, building permits, or any other entitlements, will be in conflict with the
City's planning process of studying and adopting amendments to the Zoning Ordinance in order
to implement the Housing Element Revision adopted on February 6, 2012, and will result in a
current and immediate threat to public health, safety or welfare as follows:
1. Approval of any new residential development projects located east of Highway
101 would conflict with the City's Housing Element Revision wherein all identified sites for
possible future rezoning to housing uses are located west of Highway 101.

Second Extension Ordinance because it is necessary to provide additional time for the City to
complete its consideration, study and adoption of proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance
that will implement the Housing Element Revision.

this Second Extension Ordinance to prevent any impairment of the City's Constitutional police
power to make and enforce its land use laws, and specifically, to not approve any residential
development projects located east of Highway 101 that are currently prohibited by the Housing
Element Revision.
