NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY
DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I
Section 50.66(d) of the Gilroy Zoning Ordinance is hereby
amended to read as follows:
(d)
The City Council shall hold a public hearing and
shall review the point scores, rankings and build-
out schedules as recommended by the Planning
Commission and may affirm or modify the recommenda-
tion of the Planning Commission, in whole or in
part. In making its decision, the Council shall
give priority to accommodating subsequent phasing
and build-out of previously approved projects for
which substantial public infrastructure improvements
(beyond oversizing of sewer and water utility lines)
have been constructed to serve such future phases.
SECTION II
Section 50.66(f) of the Gilroy Zoning Ordinance is hereby
amended to read as follows:
(f)
No individual project shall be assigned more than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the ten-year housing
goal, or fifty percent (50%) of the Numerical Limit
for any year of the build-out schedule as
established at the time that the build-out schedule
is assigned.
SECTION III
Section 50.66(i) of the Gilroy Zoning Ordinance is hereby
amended to read as follows:
(i)
When a building permit is requested for any residen-
tial development assigned a build-out schedule
hereunder, the Planning Director shall review such
project for conformance with the project as it was
proposed when assigned a build-out schedule by the
Council. If the Planning Director determines that
there have been significant modifications to the
project (including, without limitation, modifica-
tions that would have significantly affected its
point rating or competitive evaluation hereunder),
then no building permits for the project shall be
issued unless approved by the City Council following
review by the Planning Commission. To approve the
issuance of such permits, the City Council must find
that the proposed modifications result in a
substantial improvement over the project for which
a build-out schedule had been assigned. If the
Planning Director finds that the modifications to
the project are not significant, he shall forward
such finding as a recommendation to the City
Council. The City Council may instead determine
that said modifications are significant and shall
