A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF GILROY RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF
RDO-HE 13-03, AN APPLICATION FOR A DOWNTOWN
PROJECT EXEMPTION FROM THE RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE FOR TWO HUNDRED
SIXTY THREE RESIDENTIAL UNITS LOCATED AT THE
INTERSECTION OF 10T" STREET AND ALEXANDER
STREET, APNS 841-16-061, 841-16-029 and 841-16-004.
WHEREAS, the City may consider the requested RDO exemption if the project is
located within the Downtown Commercial area as defined in the General Plan, and this
project is located therein with a zoning designation of Expansion District; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that the review and approval of an
application for an exemption from the RDO does not confer any entitlement for
development, and therefore is not a "project" requiring review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act; and
WHEREAS, section 30.50.60(b) of the Gilroy City Code does not require specific
findings to be made to grant this exemption; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed this application, the Staff Report
dated August 7, 2014 ("Staff Report") and all documents and oral and written testimony
at a duly noticed public hearing on August 7, 2014; and
WHEREAS, the location and custodian of the documents or other materials
which constitute the record of proceedings upon which this approval is based is the
office of the City Clerk.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission hereby finds
that the facts regarding this residential project meet the consideration for an exemption
pursuant to City Code Section 30.50.60(b) as follows:
"Projects located within the City's Downtown Commercial area as defined in the
General Plan [are exempt] if specifically approved for exemption by the City
Council. Exemptions in this category will not be tabulated in the ten-year housing
goal."
