The City proposes that a Moratorium on supportive housing projects in R-S, R-1, R-2, <br /> R-1(A) and R-2(A) Zones be established for a period of six months to preclude the <br /> establishment of vested rights that could be incompatible with the plans, policies, and <br /> regulations that the City may adopt as a result of the planning process; <br /> 8. The Moratorium would be enacted to allow the City to review the zoning regulations for <br /> Supportive Housing particularly in the R-S, R-1, R-2, R-1(A) and R-2 (A) Zones,to <br /> determine what is in the best long term interests of the community as it pertains to the <br /> zoning and siting of Supportive Housing; <br /> 9.
