,MME'AS, it is generally recognized that because of
the excessive demand for housing accommodations and the
large volume of building occurring along the coast, building
costs are abnormally high, and

ment that in new residential development the main residen-
tial structure and the accessory garage building shall be
erected concurrently;

of accomplishing said purpose the following specific
authority and requirements constitute an order of the City
Council as being essential to preserving the public health safety
and general welfare until such time as the emergency herein

quent finding by the :lanning CoiuA ssion and concurrence
therein by the City Council through an action cancelling
the provisions of this Resolution;

as a dwelling and converted to garag-e -use purposes within
twelve months from the date of the issuance of the permit,
and that if the above stipulation is not complied with,
the temporary dwelling will assume the status of a permanent
dwelling and therefore, the erection of an additional build -
ing for living purposes will constitute an additional dwell-
ing on a lot and thereby be in violation of the zoning
ordinance, and
