The City Council finds, determines and declares that for the City to award the 1986 annual residential development allotment, when approximately 2,354 residential permits were already issued during that calendar year, would be inconsistent with the intent of Measure F "to achieve a steady, rather than a fluctuating, overly rapid rate of residential growth each year" and "to establish control over the quality, distribution, and rate of growth of the City" as that intent is more fully set forth in section 10.01 of Measure F. Section 2. Consistent with the intent of Measure F, subsection A of section 10.04 of Measure F is hereby amended to read as follows: "A. Calendar year 1986; no units; and" Section 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this ordinance by not less than a four - fifths vote of the City Council; shall enter the same in the book of original ordinances of said City; shall make a minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the City Council at which the same is passed and adopted; and shall, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption thereof, cause the same to be published in the Moorpark News, a weekly newspaper of general circulation, as defined in Section 6008 of the Government Code, for the City of Moorpark, and which is hereby designated for that purpose. -2- cjk/ORD9168 PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS 2nd day of December , 1987. o f the City .'of Moorpark, rallr nia ATTEST: -3- cjk/ORD9168 STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF VENTURA ) SS.
