6.M. - Page 8 of 22 <br />emergency housing shall not become or continue to be substandard buildings, <br />as determined by the enforcing agency." <br />The City cannot meet the foregoing "Existing Buildings" minimum standards <br />because the City is not utilizing or providing any existing residential or <br />nonresidential buildings or structures for emergency housing as part of any <br />emergency shelter offered through the Temporary Safe Parking Program. <br />Additionally, the City is not providing the RVs as part of the emergency shelter <br />offered through the Temporary Safe Parking Program. The RVs participating in <br />the Temporary Safe Parking Program are stand-alone units that are parking at <br />the Parking Site. The RVs are owned by the Program Participants and not <br />within the City's control and therefore the City cannot confirm that the RVs meet <br />the minimum standards in these Subsections. <br />Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City does offer Program Participants the <br />opportunity to park their RVs, on a temporary basis, at the Parking Site during <br />a period that the City has declared a shelter crisis. The City has established <br />standards, identified herein, that protect health and safety for the operation of <br />the Temporary Safe Parking Program and which address the condition of the <br />RV by requiring, among other things, that the RV be in an operable condition. <br />c. Minimum Standards in Subsections 0103.3/AX103.3 ("Occupant Load") <br />states, "[e]xcept as otherwise stated in this appendix, the maximum occupant <br />load allowed in buildings and structures used as emergency housing shall be <br />determined by the enforcing agency, but the interior floor area shall not be less <br />than 70 square feet (6.5 m2) for one occupant. Where more than one person <br />occupies the building/structure, the required floor area shall be increased at the <br />rate of 50 square feet (4.65 m2) for each occupant in excess of one. <br />Exceptions: 1) Tents. 2) Recreational vehicles and park trailers designed for <br />human habitation that meet the requirements in the Health and Safety Code, <br />Sections 18009.3 and 18010, as applicable." <br />The City cannot meet the foregoing "Occupant Load" minimum standards <br />because the City is not utilizing or providing any existing buildings or structures <br />for emergency housing as part of any emergency shelter offered through the <br />Temporary Safe Parking Program. Although the definition of RV in the <br />Temporary Safe Parking Program includes vehicles that meet the requirements <br />in the Health and Safety Code sections 18009.3 and 18010 and would be <br />excepted from the "Occupant Load" minimum standards, there are a number <br />of other types of vehicles included in the definition of RV, which would not be <br />excepted from these standards. For those vehicles included in the definition of <br />RV that are not excepted, the City cannot meet the foregoing "Occupant Load" <br />minimum standards because the City is not providing the RVs as part of the <br />emergency shelter offered through the Temporary Safe Parking Program. The <br />RVs participating in the Temporary Safe Parking Program are stand-alone <br />units. The RVs are owned by Program Participants and not within the City's <br />control and therefore the City cannot confirm that the RVs meet the minimum <br />occupant load standards in these Subsections. <br />ATTY/ORD.533/CC ORD SAFE PARKING PROGRAM <br />REV: 04-06-21 RL <br />Page 4 of 18 <br />362 <br />
