![Page 16: Shelter Ordinance City Council 11.15.10. One zone by right (without a use permit) to accommodate unmet need Transitional /supportive housing – a residential](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551b21ac5503462e578b635f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Alternatives
1. … return with an ordinance that meets only the minimal requirements of SB2, [Example: the M-1 and M-2 zoning only]
2. …amend operational standards to further control the operation of emergency shelters and minimize off-site impacts…
3. …further limit the zoning districts to limited industrial and commercial zones and permitted with a conditional use permit in other commercial, multi-family, and mixed-use
zones and not in other residential zones
