Revisions to the San Benito County Growth Management Ordinance and PRGI Ordinance

Revisions to the San Benito County Growth Management Ordinance and PRGI Ordinance

This item is for the removal of the San Benito County Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.07 of the San Benito County Code) and to amend the San Benito County General Plan and Specific Plan Local Procedures (Chapter 19.29 of the San Benito County Code) by removing section 19.29.005, which is entitled: "General Plan Amendment Allowing a Potential Residential Growth Increase." Both items are local procedures specific to San Benito County and would not conflict with State law. Removal of these processes would still allow applicants to undergo the required application processes for development, prepare the necessary environmental work as required by CEQA and have their proposals considered for approval or denial through the public setting. Lastly, the Ordinance revisions would also include the amendment of the San Benito County Code to compliment state law by inserting text that states each General Plan Element can be amended no more frequently than four times per year.
