7.B. - Page 17 �Chapter 633, 5tatutes of 2U07(5B 2)� Permitting Emergency Shelters withou� Discretionary Action To compfy with SB 2, localfties must ha�e or adopt a zoning classification that permits emergency shelters in a Ron-discretionary manner (locafi#ies may howe�er apply development standarc�s pursuan� ta Section 65583(a){4}). In such zones, permitted uses, development standards and permit procedures must include: • ObJective de�elopment standards that �ncourag� and facilitate the approval of emergency shelters. • Dec�sion�making criteria such as standards that do not require discretionary judgment. • Standards that do not render emergency shelters infeasible, and only address the use as an emergency shelter, not the perceived characteristics of potential occupants. Requiring a variance, minor use permit, special use permit or any other discretionary process does nof cnnstitute a nan-discretionary process. However, local governments may apply non-discretionary design review sfandards.

Phofo courtesy of Amador-Tualumne Communrty Acfron De�elopment Standards to Encourage and Facilitafe Emergency Shelters SB 2 requires that emerge�cy shelters only �e subject to those development and management standards that apply to residential or commercial use within the same zone, except the local government may apply certain objecti�e standards discussed on the next page (Gn�ernment Code 5ection 65583(a)(4}). Far example, a light commercial zone might permit a range of wholesaler, se�vice repair and business s�rvices subject to buifdable area and lot area requirements. In this case, �he �mergency shelter may be subject anly to the same �uifda�le area and lot area requiremenfis. The sam� zone might permit residential uses subject ta certain development standard (i.e., lot area, heights, and setbacks) requirements. In this case, emergency shelters should only be subject ta the same development standards. State Department of Hausfng - ?0- May 2008 and Communify Developrrren!
