In January of each year, the Community Development Department shall document the number of residential building permits issued in the preceding year. If the total number of permits issued in the preceding year provides for the contraction of 500 or more residential units (whether comprised of single-family structures, multi-family structures, or both), the Community Development Department shall develop and promulgate a growth metering process and guidelines which shall be reviewed and recommended by the Planning Commission and approved by City Council. Unless and until the process and guidelines described herein are approved by the City Council, the city shall not, in any single calendar year, issue building permits to allow construction of more than 600 residential units during such years (whether comprised of single-family structures, multi-family structures, or both). Residential units that are part of an affordable housing project containing 100% low, very low, or senior designated affordable housing units are exempt from this count.
