Gould, Planning Officer SUBJECT: Amending Land Development Code Chapter 165-97, Government and Institutional Service District (G&ISD) Council Ordinance 13-106 Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on May 7, 2013, held a Public Hearing on the above zoning amendment. Planning Officer David Gould reviewed the proposed amendment to add Transitional Housing to the Government and Institutional Service District as a Conditional Use. Mr. Gould did note that the Definition is largely based on a HUD definition which is intended to provide a means for homeless individuals to transition out of homelessness. It is not intended as an overnight shelter, but a longer term housing alternative with supportive services. Mr. Gould noted that presently transitional housing is allowed in multi -family districts. Being related to other social service agencies and support services it is reasonable to be within G&ISD. Board members asked why the use would be a conditional use. Mr. Gould speculated that the categorization would insure a public hearing before the Planning Board. Mr. Gould noted the existing conditional use standards would have limited impact on a transitional housing complex given the nature of the development. The Board voted 4 in favor and 3 opposed to recommend the proposed text amend to the City Council - Land Development Code Chapter 165-97 Government and Institutional Service District, as contained in Council Ordinance 13-106.
