Emergency Shelter Update
State Law and Emergency Shelter Amendment
Housing Element was adopted in April 2023 and includes a list of implementation programs to further the City’s housing goals and meet the State’s housing laws. One law, Assembly Bill 2339 (effective January 1, 2023) requires cities to identify zoning designations where emergency shelters are permitted uses by right (without a conditional use permit or other discretionary permits).
To comply with this mandate, the City has included in the Housing Element a program to update the El Camino Real Precise Plan to allow emergency shelters and to amend the existing development standards for emergency shelters to ensure compliance with State requirements.
No emergency shelters are proposed at this time. Per State Law, the City has conducted a site analysis to study if there are viable sites to locate a shelter should one be proposed.
