Chapter 17.880 — SUPPORTIVE HOUSING

The purpose of this chapter is to comply with California Government Code sections 65650 - 65654 related to supportive housing developments that are entitled to ministerial review. (Ord. 2024-0054 § 39 (part))

A supportive housing development will be granted an administrative permit if it:

• A. Is located in a zone where multi-unit dwellings or a mix of residential and commercial uses are permitted;

• B. Will be occupied by the target population, as defined in California Government Code section 65650.

• C. Satisfies the requirements of California Government Code section 65651, subdivision (a);

• D. Complies with the city's objective zoning standards and objective subdivision standards as set forth in this code; and

E. Complies with the city's objective design standards applicable to multi-unit dwellings, as set forth in the Citywide Infill Housing Design Standards. (Ord. 2024-0054 § 39 (part))

No vehicle parking is required. If vehicle parking is provided, it must apply with the applicable objective standards of chapter 17.608. (Ord. 2024-0054 § 39 (part))

In the case of a conflict between the city's standards set forth in section 17.880.020 and the standards set forth in California Government Code sections 65650 - 65654, the provisions of the California Government Code prevail. (Ord. 2024-0054 § 39 (part))

1. Within 60 days after the application is complete for a project with 50 or fewer units; or

2. Within 120 days after the application is complete for a project with more than 50 units.

B. If the city fails to act within these timeframes, the application will be deemed approved. (Ord. 2026-0001 § 37; Ord. 2024-0054 § 39 (part))
