"PeopleServing <br />People" <br /> <br /> CITY OF RIVERSIDE <br /> <br />City Council Memorandum <br /> <br />Riverside <br /> <br />~t~Amef~a c~ <br /> <br />HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />DATE: MARCH 2, 2004 <br /> <br />ITEM NO.: 8 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: PLANNING CASE P03-0570: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING <br /> <br />CODE (TITLE 19 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE) TO REVISE THE CURRENT <br /> <br />REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO HOUSING FOR PROBATIONERS/PAROLEES, <br />INCLUDING ADDING A REQUIREMENT FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR <br />HOUSING TWO OR MORE PROBATIONERS/PAROLEES. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />In May 2003, the City Council directed the Planning and Building Department and the City <br />Attorney's Office to initiate a Zoning Code amendment to establish regulations for <br />probationer/parolee homes. On January 22, 2004 the Planning Commission unanimously <br />approved revised regulations requiring a minor conditional use permit (MCUP) for <br />probationer/parolee homes with two to six occupants and a full conditional use permit (CUP) for <br />more than six occupants. The same requirements were also approved for homeless shelters, <br />which may include parolees or probationers. It should be noted that the Planning Department and <br />City Attorney's Office staff met and discussed this amendment with various representatives from <br />County Probation, State Parole, Federal Probation, sober living home operators, the City's <br />Homeless Coordinator and the Police Department. Several changes were made to the <br />amendment in response to concerns expressed by various affected parties. At the January 22 <br />Planning Commission hearing, there was no opposition expressed to the amendment as currently <br />written. <br /> <br />The amendment requires that existing parolee/probationer homes or homeless shelters must <br />submit for the required MCUP or CUP within 60 days of the effective date of the ordinance, and <br />complete the MCUP or CUP within 180 days. The Planning Commission raised concerns that <br />smaller homes may not have the necessary funds to comply with these deadlines. Many of these <br />uses rely on grants which may take up to a year to process. The Commission requested staff to <br />look into revising the amendment to address this concern for City Council consideration. The new <br />language proposed in Exhibit 1 will permit the filing period to be extended up to one-year from the <br />effective date of the ordinance for homes in good standing when financial hardship exists and a <br />good-faith effort is made to secure funds, subject to approval of the Planning Department with <br />Police Department input. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br /> <br />The fees for the MCUP and CUP applications to legalize existing and permit new <br />parolee/probationer homes and homeless shelters are expected to cover the costs of processing <br />the applications. <br /> <br />8-1 <br /> <br /> <br />
