Body
Description/Background:
On September 19, 2023, the City Council directed staff to review and amend the City’s land use regulations in a manner that would limit the number of “Transitional Housing Facilities” allowed in the City. Staff were directed to study the issue and bring back a recommendation for appropriate changes to the land use code for consideration and decision by the Council within 180 days.
Following the City Council’s direction, staff prepared a draft code amendment (see the attached Exhibit "A") that would limit a Transitional Housing Facility to only one defined area of the city within the Regional Commercial (RC) Zoning District. The geographic limits would be the area north of 9000 South, south of Harrison Street, east of I-15 and west of Monroe Street. A maximum of one Transitional Housing Facility would be allowed though a Conditional Use Permit approval.
This amendment would allow the existing Transitional Housing Facility for medically vulnerable people at 8955 S. Harrison Street to remain without becoming a non-conforming use, but it would prohibit a new Transitional Housing Facility from being established elsewhere in the city.
Further action to be taken:
If the proposed code amendment shown in Exhibit “A” accurately represents the City Council’s objective, staff will send out public notice for a public hearing before the Planning Commission for their recommendation, before returning to the Council for a decision on this code amendment on December 19, 2023.
