Resolution 1984-24 " . . RESOLUTION NO. 84-24 RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY ADOPTING NUMERICAL LIMITS FOR RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS TO BE ISSUED BUILDING PERMITS FOR EACH OF THE YEARS 1985, 1986 and 1987. WHEREAS, pursuant to the City of Gilroy Residential Development Ordinance, once each year, the City Council of the City of Gilroy shall determine the maximum number of dwelling units to be issued building permits; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Gilroy desires to encourage a rate of growth which will not exceed the City's ability to provide adequate and efficient public services of the ability of the local economy to support such growth, the Council desires to maintain and improve the quality of the environment and preserve the City's natural setting, desires to provide and maintain a balanced community with adequate housing to meet the needs of local employment and resi- dents, and desires to provide and maintain a sound economic base for the City; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5 of the City of Gilroy Residential Development Ordinance, the City Council of the City of Gilroy has fixed the 2nd day of April, 1984, at the hour of 8:00 o'clock p.m. in the Council Chambers in the City Hall at 7351 Rosanna Street, Gilroy, California as the time and place for considering and adopting the said Numerical Limits for each of the years 1985, 1986 and 1987, and notice of said hearing has been given in acco~dance with said Ordinance, and a public hearing has now been held upon the said Numerical Limits. at the time anc place fixed in the said notice, before RESOLUTION NO. 84-24 -1- ., . . the Council. and the Council having duly considered studies and testimony relevant to the residential development program, and having determined that the Numerical Limits should be set with the following findings: 1. The City's ability to provide additional sewage disposal services is severely impaired. A sewer hookup moratorium has been imposed on the City by state agencies, and the timing of the resolution of this problem is uncertain. 2. When the 1986, 1987, and 1988 numerical limits are considered in April 1985, the Council will have a much greater understanding of the City's ability to provide sewage disposal services. The 1986 and 1987 numerical limits can be increased at that time. 3. A large number of previously-committed build-out assignments are still pending, with some degree of uncertainty as to the timing of build-outs. Projects which have already been approved and which have demonstrated a desire and capability to build within approved build-out periods should receive priority for remaining sewage capacity. 4. The recommended final numerical limit for 1985 allows Gilroy to absorb its fair share of the region's housing growth as adopted in Appendix G of the General Plan. If the problems with the sewage treatment plant are resolved within the next year, the City Council can then increase the 1986 and 1987 numerical limits to provide for Gilroy minimum fair share allocation (375 units/year). 5. A number of additional personnel and equipment will be required to meet the demands of increased growth. Eliminating the 1984 competition will allow the City time to meet the needs for services already required by previously approv~d,;proj ects. 6. Since the annual competition involves the expenditure funds and fees by the applicants and administrative costs by the City, a competition for a small number of units in 1985 is not warranted. NOW. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Gilroy that in accord with the City of Gilroy -2- # . . Residential Development Ordinance, the Council hereby establishes that: 1. 389 be the maximum number of dwelling units issued building permits for 1985, in accordance with the Residential Development Ordinance. 2. 208 be the maximum number of dwelling units issued building permits for 1986, in accordance with the Residential Development Ordinance. 3. None be the maximum number of dwelling units issued building permits for 1987, in accordance with the Residential Development Ordinance.
