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.
