CA2012-009 REGARDING SINGLE ROOM OCCUPANCY RESIDENTIAL HOTELS AND PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR EMERGENCY SHELTERS (PA2012-179). THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS. 1. The 2008-2014 Housing Element includes Housing Program (HP) 5.1.7 mandating the City to define SRO's within the Zoning Code and permit SROs within the commercial and office districts as previously provided for. 2. In 2008 the State enacted Government Code Sections 65583(a)(4) and 65583(a)(7) (Senate Bill No. 2) which require the City to designate zoning districts where emergency shelters will be allowed without requiring a use permit or other discretionary review. Although the City Zoning Code complies with this requirement, no specific parking standards for emergency shelters were adopted. 3. The City adopted a comprehensive update of the Zoning Code in October of 2010. The definition of Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Residential Hotels and the appropriate Zoning Districts where they are allowed were inadvertently omitted; additionally a specific parking standard for emergency shelters was not identified but rather, deferred to a future conditional use permit process when emergency shelters are permitted by right in two zoning districts. 4. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on January 17, 2013, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place, and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this meeting. 5. On January 17, 2013, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 1903 recommending City Council adoption of Code Amendment No. CA2012-009 which adds a definition and provisions for SRO's and adds minimum parking requirements for Emergency Shelters. 6.
