(a) The City Council may implement the Growth Management Development Allocation System as follows:
(1) Annual report. The City Manager shall on an annual basis make a recommendation to Council as to whether or not to implement the Growth Management Allocation System. The annual report by the City Manager shall include, at a minimum, the number of residential dwelling units approved by type and location during the previous two years and the resulting population increase based on the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data, a recommendation as to whether to implement the Growth Management Residential Allocation System and other data and information that the City Manager determines would be relevant to the City Council in determining whether or not the Growth Management Residential Allocation System should be initiated. If the report recommends that the system be implemented, the report shall also make a recommendation as to the number of allocations for the following two allocation years as needed or required.
(2) Submission of review report. The City Manager shall submit the report to the City Council annually.
(3) City Council action. Prior to deciding whether or not to implement the Growth Management Residential Development Allocation System and adoption of an annual residential development allocation, the City Council shall hold a public hearing at which comments on the review report and recommended allocation are solicited from the City Manager and public-at-large. Council may implement the Growth Management Residential Development Allocation System if the number of dwelling units approved by the issuance of zoning certificates each of the previous two years results in an annual population growth exceeding one and a half percent. Annually, the City Council shall, within sixty days of receipt of the City Manager's recommendation, decide whether or not to implement the Growth Management Residential Allocation System and, if so, establish a residential development allocation for the next two years.
