BODY
PROJECT SUMMARY:
The number of allotments available for the RDCS is determined on a biennial basis, as required by Section 18.78.030 (Development Allotments) of the Morgan Hill Municipal Code. The rate of growth is accomplished by allocating approximately 250 new dwelling units annually to not exceed a population of 48,000 by the year 2020.
In accordance with Section 18.78.184 (Procedures) of the Morgan Hill Municipal Code, no later than May of each year, the Planning Commission is required to provide a recommendation to the City Council regarding the total number and distribution of building allotments for a given RDCS evaluation year.
Section 18.78.125.D (Award and Issuance of Allotments) of the Morgan Hill Municipal Code requires that allotments be issued no less than 16 months prior to the start of the fiscal year (March 1st) in which the allotments must be used. To accommodate this statutory deadline, the RDCS application filing deadline is scheduled for September 1, 2015.
