RESOLUTION OF THE SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDING
RESCINDING COUNCIL RESOLUTION 8739 ADOPTING
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR EMERGENCY SHELTERS
FOR THE HOMELESS
WHEREAS, on September 8, 1992, the City Attorney recommended to the San Rafael
City Council changes to the draft Zoning Ordinance regulations pertaining to
Emergency Shelters for the Homeless to clarify (1) that the standards are to facilitate
development of such uses, as well as to address health, safety and welfare concerns
and (2) that the standards are not mandatory but advisory; and
WHEREAS, the recommended changes were inadvertently not included in the
Zoning Ordinance adopted by the City Council on September 21, 1992; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment is exempt from CEQA as a text amendment
which does not involve proposed development or commitment of land use or
resources which would result in a significant environmental impact; and
WHEREAS, the San Rafael Planning Commission adopted Resolution 92-9, after
holding a duly -noticed public hearing on Tuesday, October 27, 1992, proposed
modifications to the San Rafael Zoning Ordinance to clarify that the Performance
Standards for Emergency Shelters for the Homeless are guidelines and not mandatory
requirements; and,
WHEREAS, the San Rafael City Council has requested that the Planning Commission
consider the option of deleting all reference to the Performance Standards from the
Zoning Ordinance; and,
WHEREAS, on December 15, 1992 the Planning Commission of the City of San
Rafael adopted Resolution 92-10 recommending the City Council rescind Resolution
8739 adopting Performance Standards for Emergency Shelters, and delete section
14.17.030 of the San Rafael Zoning Ordinance and all references to the Chapter 17
Performance Standards (including sections 14.04.020, 14.05.020, 14.06.020, and
14.09.020); and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the staff report relevant to the adoption
of the proposed amendment (noting that no written correspondence nor verbal
testimony has been received); and,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposed deletion of all reference to the
Performance Standards will remove any legal concerns that the zoning regulations
may be imposing potentially discriminatory requirements on a specific use; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that Emergency Shelters for the Homeless will
continue to be subject to a Use Permit and Conditions of Approval as reviewed by the
Planning Commission.
