The legislation <br />specifically requires cities to allow indoor emergency shelters and emergency housing in <br />zones where hotels/motels and transitional housing as well as permanent supportive <br />housing where residential dwellings and hotels/motels are allowed. Updates to <br />definitions and other regulations that will help clarify and streamline the city's planning <br />and approval process for new facilities are also a part of the recommended <br />amendments. A full summary of the ordinance is provided in the attached staff memo. <br />The Planning Commission held briefings on April 19, May 17, and June 21 with a Public <br />Hearing conducted on July 19, 2022. The Planning Commission has forwarded a <br />recommendation of approval to the City Council in PC Resolution 22-002. <br />A Public Hearing is scheduled for the August 31, 2022 city council meeting. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Approve an ordinance amending the Everett Municipal Code to bring it into conformity <br />with recently enacted changes in state housing laws , amending EMC chapters 15.02 <br />Land Use and Project Review Procedures, 19.04 Definitions, 19.05 Uses, 19.08 <br />Residential Uses and Development Standards, 19.13 Specific Use Standards, and 19.34 <br />Parking, Loading and Access Requirements. <br />
