of overcrowding present a threat to the public health, safety and welfare and
in order to maintain the status quo, to avoid further exacerbation of the
problem, and to allow adequate time to study the problem, to confer with
other public agencies, and to seek a solution, the City Council declares this
to be an urgency measure to take effect immediately upon adoption.
SECTION TWO.
No building permits shall be issued for new residential construc-
tion projects submitted after the close of business on February 1, 1982. New
residential construction projects shall be considered those for which building
plans have been submitted as of February 1, 1982.
