§ 8107-44.3. Emergency shelter development standards.

An emergency shelter must meet the following standards:

a.

Sited within the Commercial Planned Development zone;

b.

Within a Sphere of Influence of a city with a population of at least twenty thousand (20,000);

c.

On a parcel of one-half (½) acre or more;

d.

Not within three hundred (300) feet of a school or another emergency shelter, as measured from the closest property lines, at the time the Zoning Clearance is issued;

e.

Each emergency shelter resident must be provided a minimum of fifty (50) gross square feet of personal living space, in addition to common area space.

f.

The applicant must demonstrate that the Water and Environmental Resources Division of the Watershed Protection District has determined: (1) there is sufficient water supply to serve the proposed emergency shelter development; and (2) if the proposed emergency shelter development is located within the service area of a water purveyor that provides water from an overdrafted groundwater basin or provides water from a groundwater basin that is in hydrologic connection with an overdrafted groundwater basin, that the proposed emergency shelter development will not adversely impact the overdrafted groundwater basin. If the groundwater basin that will serve the development is located within the boundaries of the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency then the Water and Environmental Resources Division of the Watershed Protection District must first consult with the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency prior to making its determination. Applicants may be required to submit a water demand study prepared by a state-licensed Civil Engineer or Professional Geologist that demonstrates the project will not cause a net increase in average annual groundwater extraction. If a water demand study is required, it must consider the current consumptive water demand of existing land uses on the project site and the estimated consumptive water demand of the proposed project. The effects of changes in percolation rates due to development, water recycling and conservation measures such as low water use appliances and efficient irrigation must be considered in the analysis.

g.

All other applicable County development and building standards.
