Where is an emergency shelter allowed in Corcoran?

Find your lot's zone on the city zoning map, then read its row. Every status below was read from the Corcoran Municipal Code use tables (read October 2026). Base zones only. General information, not legal advice — check with the city before you apply.

Corcoran's code calls this use “Emergency shelters”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.

• Not covered here: IL and IH industrial districts (named in 11-23-3, no use text in packet); Chapter 10 / mobile home provisions; R-1-6 and R-1-10 subdistricts mentioned in 11-8-3 J; PUD (Chapter 23) is an overlay-like process, not a base zone. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
