To comply with SB2 and address homeless needs in Santa Ana, this Zoning Ordinance <br />Amendment proposes to add definitions for Emergency Shelters and Multiservice Centers to serve <br />the homeless, and identifies Emergency Shelters and Multiservice Centers as permitted uses in the <br />industrial zones including Light Industrial (M1), Heavy Industrial (M2) and Industrial Specific <br />Developments (SD) districts, subject to separation requirements from residences, schools, parks <br />and other shelters. In addition, provisions to clarify Transitional blousing and Permanent Supportive <br />Housing to the Zoning Code are also proposed (Exhibit 1). <br />Senate Bill 2 (SB2) was adopted by the California State Legislature and became law in 2008. This <br />Bill added emergency shelters and transitional housing to the Government Code relating to local <br />planning, and required that General Plan Housing Elements identify one or more zones in the City <br />KI <br />
