Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013-01 July 8, 2013 Page 4 Communitv Outreach The draft Emergency Shelter/Transitional Supportive Housing Ordinance was crafted through a collaborative process, which included the Police Department, Parks, Recreation and Community Services, Housing Division and Planning Division staff. Seeking the experience of local experts, three Service Provider Stakeholder meetings were held May 23, 2012, January 16, 2013, and most recently on June 18, 2013 to review the draft ordinance. On June 4, 2013 the City Council Committee on Development and Transportation was briefed on the proposed SB2 requirement and overview of the draft ordinance. The Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission was also provided an overview of the draft ordinance on June 18, 2013. Planning Commission Study Sessions were held on June 27, 2012, May 28, 2013 and June 24, 2013. In addition, notices were sent to approximately 1,900 Industrial property owners regarding a June 18, 2013 Industrial Properties forum, as well as upcoming Planning Commission and City Council public hearing dates. Based on the input from the research conducted and these various stakeholders, the draft ordinance was refined as proposed. All those parties expressing interest, including Service Providers and Industrial Property stakeholder, were noticed of the Planning Commission and City Council public hearing dates to consider the ordinance. All of the information regarding this process was posted to the City's website. With the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment, the City will be in compliance with Government Code Sections 65582, 65583, ad 65589.5 and provisions of the Housing Element. In addition, the allowance for emergency shelters as a permitted use in the industrial zones will help implement the Orange County Ten -Year Plan to End Homelessness. Based on the analysis above, it is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013-01.
