There is hereby established a zone which shall hereinafter be
known as the "E-S emergency shelter overlay zone," and which shall
function and serve as set out in this chapter.
(Ord. 1083 § 9, 2014)
The intent and purpose of the E-S zone is to principally designate,
classify, and distinguish certain areas within the city that may best
facilitate the development and use of emergency shelters.
(Ord. 1083 § 9, 2014)
A.
The
E-S zone is a land use classification which, in part, assists in the
implementation of the land use and housing elements of the general
plan. It is a zone classification designed to be applied on selective
areas of the community where an emergency shelter can be located and
served by accessible public transportation, job centers, and public
and community services.
B.
Application
of the E-S zone must be clearly defined within the scope and purpose
of qualifying land for an emergency shelter, and should account for
environmental constraints, such as flooding, seismic hazards, chemical
contamination, slope instability or erosion that could make building
an emergency shelter infeasible.
C.
Uses
of land which do not qualify and which are not specifically permitted
in the E-S zone are hereby expressly prohibited.
(Ord. 1083 § 9, 2014)
Regulations governing permitted uses of land in the E-S zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.40 of this title.
(Ord. 1083 § 9, 2014)
Regulations governing the development of property in the E-S zone are specifically set forth in Chapter 18.40 of this title.
(Ord. 1083 § 9, 2014)
