Zones where an emergency shelter can go

| Zone | Status | Code |
|---|---|---|
| R-4 High Density Multiple-Family Dwelling | Needs a conditional use permit — see note Note 5: Permitted with Administrative Site Plan Review when ancillary to a church, place of worship, or other religious use. | Article II — Zoning Districts, Allowed Uses, and Development Standards |
| M-1 Limited Manufacturing and Industrial | Needs an administrative site plan review | Article II — Zoning Districts, Allowed Uses, and Development Standards |
| M-2 Heavy Industrial and Mining | Needs an administrative site plan review | Article II — Zoning Districts, Allowed Uses, and Development Standards |
Zones where it is not allowed
What else applies
- Standards for this use: Section 17.116.040 and Chapter 17.114 (named in the Applicable Regulations column; text not in packet).
- "Low Barrier Navigation Center" is a separate row (R-2/R-3/R-4 SP(a)).
- State law: State law (Gov. Code § 65583, SB 2) requires every city to allow emergency shelters by right in at least one zone.
- Not covered here: S-P and P-D (special purpose districts) and H overlay: no use table in the text. Table 17.20.020-1 writes the business zone as "BP"; the use tables write "B-P".. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
