"Allotment cycle."
The period of time starting January 1 and ending December
31 of each calendar year.
"Allotment threshold."
In any given allotment cycle, the difference between: (i)
the number of unallocated allotments in the special allocation pool;
and (ii) the number of dwellings units for which permits have been
granted and are exempt from the allotment provisions of this chapter.
As an example, and for illustrative purposes only, if the current
unallocated balance of allotments in the special allocation pool is
20 dwellings and the number of dwellings units for which permits have
been granted for residential projects that are exempt from the allotment
provisions of this chapter is 15, the allotment threshold is five
dwelling units (20 minus 15 = five units).
"AQMP."
The Air Quality Management Plan for Ventura County, including
all appendices thereto, as amended from time to time. The references
in this article to Tables E-6 and E-7 of the AQMP are to the tables
by that number appearing in Appendix E-95 of the version of the AQMP
adopted November, 1995 or, in the event that such tables are amended
later by the AQMP, then to the most recent version of such tables
however numbered.
"City's proportionate share."
For any given point in time, 26% of the difference between
the maximum permissible number of Ojai Valley dwelling units for the
current year and the second succeeding calendar year immediately following
as set forth within Table E-7 of the AQMP. Twenty-six percent represents
the City's share of the total permissible dwelling units in the Ojai
Valley pursuant to the AQMP. For example, if the maximum permissible
number of dwelling units for the Ojai Valley for the year 2003 is
12,301 and for the year 2005 is 12,532, the difference between the
two is 231. Twenty-six percent of 231 is 60.06 which represents the
City's proportionate share of the maximum permissible number of new
dwelling units to be constructed in the Ojai Valley for the year 2003.
"Current number of dwelling units."
As of any given point in time, the total number of housing
units located within the City as determined by the California Department
of Finance, Demographic Research Unit ("DOF") as of January 1 of each
year.
"Department."
Department shall mean the Community Development Department.
"Developable lot."
A lot which complies with all current State and City requirements
for residential use.
"Director."
Director shall mean the Director of Community Development.
"Maximum permissible number of dwelling units."
As of any given point in time, the total number of housing
units that, according to AQMP Table E-7, are forecasted to be in the
Ojai Valley on January 1 of the second succeeding calendar year. For
example, AQMP Table E-7 forecasts that there will be 12,532 dwelling
units in the Ojai Valley on January 1, 2005. Hence, the maximum permissible
number of dwelling units for any given point in time in 2003 is 12,532.
The second succeeding calendar year is selected in recognition of
the fact that it takes approximately one year to complete a dwelling
unit after the requisite permits have been issued.
"Ojai valley."
The "subareas" identified in Tables E-6 and E-7 of the AQMP
as the "Ojai GA," "Ojai NGA," "Ventura River GA" and "Ventura River
NGA."
"Persons per household."
For any given point in time, the average number of persons
who occupy the dwelling units located within the City as determined
by the DOF.
"Special allocation pool."
Allotments which remain unallocated at the end of each calendar year, plus allotments that are not used within one year of their assignment pursuant to Section
10-6.804, and pledged for subsequent reallocation to special Residential Projects at the discretion of the City Council pursuant to Section
10-6.603(b).
(§ 1, Ord. 769, eff. January 8, 2004, as amended by § 4, Ord.
828, eff. July 11, 2013)
(a) Notwithstanding
any provision of this Code or any other ordinance or resolution of
the City, no building permit may be applied for or issued for the
construction or installation of an additional dwelling unit in the
City if the issuance of such permit would cause the current number
of dwelling units for the City to exceed the City's proportionate
share of the maximum permissible number of dwelling units for the
Ojai Valley (including both the incorporated and unincorporated portions
thereof).
(b) Provided the provisions of Section
10-6.502(a) hereinabove are satisfied, no building permit may nonetheless be applied for or issued for the construction or installation of an additional dwelling unit in the City unless either a residential development allotment has been issued for that unit or an exemption has been granted pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
