proposal . Comments included extending moratorium, encourage affordable

where impact fees were applicable, and impact fee recommendations/study

financing.

#1 . 7 :37 :40 PM Adopting a legislative action requesting the
Administration review and make recommendations for amendments pertaining
to zoning regulations for homeless resource centers . Currently, homeless
shelters are allowed subject to approval of a conditional use permit.
The text amendment would create qualifying provisions and must be met,
in addition to the conditional use process, in order for a homeless
resource center to be approved. View Attachment
Councilmember Mendenhall moved and Councilmember Luke seconded to
adopt a Legislative Action initiating a review of the zoning regulations
for Homeless Shelters and Homeless Resource Centers . During the research
and review process, Planning Staff should include for consideration, any
recommendations that would improve the final ordinance, in addition to
the proposed changes outlined in the accompanying Staff memo.
7 :38:22 PM Councilmember Luke commented on the proposal . He said the
Staff memo pointed out that Council was limiting the capacity of each of
the four new homeless shelters to a maximum capacity of 150 people . He
said that figure included any potential overflow so none of those new
facilities would be allowed to provide accommodations for more than 150
people . He said it was an important point and was something very
different from current practices .
