ITEM NO. 2
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
SUBJECT: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-00162
LOCATION: Citywide
APPLICANT: City of Anaheim
REQUEST: This is a City-initiated request to amend Title 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code (Code) to modify Section 18.38.125 (Emergency Shelter and Recuperative
Care/Medical Respite) of Chapter 18.38 (Supplemental Use Regulations) to allow Transitional
and Supportive Housing to co-locate with an Emergency Shelter, subject to the approval of a
conditional use permit (CUP).
BACKGROUND: The subject Code amendment was previously agendized for Planning
Commission consideration on September 4, 2019. Staff requested, and the Commission
granted, the continuation of the public hearing for this item to September 30, 2019.
Staff is requesting to continue the public hearing for this item an additional four weeks to the
Planning Commission meeting of October 28, 2019. Planning staff continues to work on a draft
ordinance in cooperation with various City departments and service providers. However, staff has
determined that it needs additional time for this coordination. Therefore, staff is requesting
additional time to complete its analysis and present a draft ordinance for the Planning
Commission’s consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Planning Commission continue the public
hearing for Zoning Code Amendment No. 2019-00162 to the meeting of October 28, 2019.

ITEM NO. 4
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 4, 2019
SUBJECT: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-00162
LOCATION: Citywide
APPLICANT: City of Anaheim
REQUEST: This is a City-initiated request to amend Title 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code (Code) to modify Section 18.38.125 (Emergency Shelter and Recuperative
Care/Medical Respite) of Chapter 18.38 (Supplemental Use Regulations) to allow Transitional
and Supportive Housing to co-locate with an Emergency Shelter, subject to the approval of a
conditional use permit (CUP).
BACKGROUND: In September 2017, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-118,
declaring a public health and safety state of emergency related to the homeless, homelessness and
homeless encampments. As part of its actions to address this emergency, Council amended the
City’s Emergency Shelter regulations to facilitate the establishment of Emergency Shelters within
Anaheim. In January 2018, Council approved a resolution embracing the “Housing First Model,”
which outlines the necessary steps for people experiencing homelessness to move from
Emergency Shelters to longer-term housing, including Transitional and Supportive Housing. In
June 2019, Council adopted an ordinance to facilitate the conversion of existing motels and other
commercial and office structures within the C-G Zone to Transitional and Supportive Housing,
subject to approval of a CUP. Subsequent to the adoption of the ordinance, on August 5, 2019,
Planning Commission approved a request for a CUP to allow the conversion of an existing 70-
room motel (Econolodge) into a 70-unit Supportive Housing development.
In addition to the above actions, staff has also been in discussion with, and recently received an
application from, The Salvation Army for its “Center of Hope.” As currently proposed, this facility
would include both an Emergency Shelter and Supportive Housing co-located together on the
same property. The Anaheim Municipal Code does not currently allow these two uses to co-locate.
In order to provide the opportunity for the Center of Hope and/or any other similar facility to be
considered via a discretionary application and review process, the Planning Director gave direction
to staff to prepare a draft ordinance to amend the Zoning Code to allow the co-location of these
uses, subject to the approval of a CUP, in locations where the City would currently permit an
Emergency Shelter. Planning staff is working on a draft ordinance in cooperation with various
City departments and service providers. Staff is requesting additional time to complete its analysis
and present a draft ordinance for the Planning Commission’s consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Planning Commission continue the public
hearing for Zoning Code Amendment No. 2019-00162 to the meeting of September 30, 2019.
