in the first year. In subsequent years the City Council may withhold some units for long-term development agreements not yet executed but for which the City Council determines will be used during that year by new projects choosing to enter long-term agreements. In setting the annual housing target, the City Council may set either a total number of units available or a total made up of subtotals for various categories of projects, such as single-family projects or multiple projects. If the latter method is chosen, the City Council shall define the categories at the time of setting the annual housing target. (b) Maximum Project Size - At the time of setting the yearly allocation for smaller projects, the City Council shall set the maximum number of units for which any project may receive development approval. For purposes of this section, the project shall refer to the project in its entirety as approved and/or reviewed by the governmental reviewing body acting upon a project submitted. In other words, a PUD approved as an 80-unit project may not apply as two 40-unit projects if the maximum project size is, say, 50 units. The 80-unit project must apply as an 80-unit project, designating the 50 units or fewer for which it wishes development approval for that annual period. When a portion of a project has received development approval through either prior RAP approvals or exemptions or this growth management process, the remaining portion of the project is the "project" for the purposes of this section. (c) Application Procedure - At the time of setting the yearly allocation for smaller projects, the City Council shall establish a one week period during which applications for development approval will be accepted initially. The one week period set shall be in the discretion of the City Council but should be set within one month of the setting of the yearly allocation for smaller projects. Applications fully completed and accompanied by the fee set by resolution will be accepted by the Planning Division during that one week period. If the total number of units applied for during the one week period does not exceed the yearly allocation for smaller projects, applications will continue to be accepted throughout the year by the Planning Division. If the total number of units applied for exceeds the yearly allocation, no further applications will be accepted until the succeeding year's application period. (d) Selection Procedure. The manner of granting development approval to smaller projects shall depend upon the relationship of the total units applied for and the yearly allocation during the one week initial application period. The procedures to be followed are set forth below: -5-
