NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I
The City Council finds that:
A. “The zoning map amendment conforms to the Gilroy General Plan.” The proposed R1
zone and density implement the Low Density General Plan land use designation, which
primarily allows for single-family residential development.
B. “The project provides the type of development that will fill a specific need of the
surrounding area.” The land use designation allows for single-family or duplex residential
development at density of 3 to 8 units per acre. Residential rezoning to R1 single family is
appropriate for this site as it will continue the existing single family residential
neighborhood development pattern in the neighborhood, at a density of 6.1 units per net
acre.
C. “The project will not require urban services beyond those that are currently available.”
All utilities needed to serve the project are located adjacent to the property.
D. “The project reflects an economical and efficient pattern of land uses.” The project
proposes an economical and efficient pattern of land uses by developing the full potential
of the allowed density of the low density land use designation, and promotes an orderly
pattern of development.
SECTION II
If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is for
any reason held to be unconstitutional or otherwise void or invalid by any court of competent
jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance shall not be affected thereby.
SECTION III
Pursuant to section 608 of the Charter of the City of Gilroy, this Ordinance shall be in full
force and effect thirty (30) days from and after the date of its adoption.
