This ordinance amends the Planning Code and Building Code to allow existing tourist hotels and motels to be used for Interim Housing without losing their hotel use classification. It also removes the restriction that emergency housing must be on city-owned or leased land, allowing private properties to be used. The ordinance aims to streamline the process for providing shelter to homeless individuals by exempting these interim housing uses from typical residential development standards, impact fees, and certain building permit requirements, provided they meet minimum fire and safety standards. This measure is a response to the city's ongoing shelter crisis and the availability of underutilized hotel and motel properties, facilitating partnerships between the City and shelter service providers. The Building Inspection Commission and Land Use and Transportation Committee recommended approval, and the Mayor approved the ordinance.
