The city's ordinance is a legal, binding document that needs to be adhered to and applied! <br />A large group of Santa Ana residents do not agree that our city needs to open a 600 bed shelter since we all agreed that <br />200 beds would be the maximum allowed per location. <br />I hope you reviewed the city's ordinance and 2013 SB2 Zoning community meeting info. Otherwise, the city is blatantly <br />ignoring the wants and desires of the residents of Santa Ana! <br />Sec. 41-1201. -Same—Standards. <br />Where permitted, any emergency shelter for homeless or multiservice center for homeless shall comply with the <br />following: <br />(1) Occupancy. A maximum of thirty (30) beds or persons may be served nightly, with associated support <br />service not open to the public. One (1) multiservice center may be permitted in the City of Santa Ana, <br />allowing a minimum of one hundred fifty (150) beds or persons may be served nightly and maximum of <br />two hundred (200) beds. Any emergency shelter for homeless with greater than thirty (30) beds, but less <br />than one hundred fifty (150) beds, shall be subject to approval of a conditional use permit consistent with <br />Article V of this chapter <br />https://Iibrary.municode.com/ca/santa ana/codes/code of ordinances?nodeld=PTIITHCO CH41ZO ARTX <br />IIIHOSH S41-1201SATA <br />A 600 -bed shelter would require 120 parking spaces onsite per the city's ordinance which is not addressed in the MOU: <br />(3) Parking. One (1) vehicle parking space shall be provided per five (5) beds. A covered and secured area for <br />bicycle parking shall be provided for use by staff and clients, commensurate with demonstrated need, but no <br />less than a minimum of eight (8) bike parking spaces. <br />Many of us agree that a 200 -bed shelter run like Bridges at Kramer Place would be ideal for our city, so we do not <br />understand why our city created a Staff Report recommending a 600 -bed shelter instead. <br />This proposed 600 -bed shelter is a huge priority for our city, so I'm trying to understand why you didn't personally sign <br />the Staff Report recommending the city agree to the MOU with the County. I hope you reconsider your recommendation <br />and revise the Staff Report to say a 200 -bed shelter instead! <br />Kind regards, <br />Chris Schmidt <br />On Thu, Aug 16, 2018 at 9:59 AM Chris S < wrote: <br />Raul Godinez, City Manager <br />I'm sure you are already aware but I thought I should send you a reminder that our city amended our ordinances back <br />in 2013 to only allow a maximum of 200 beds at a single emergency homeless shelter and 150 beds at a multiservice <br />center location. <br />Sec. 41-1201. -Same—Standards. <br />Where permitted, any emergency shelter for homeless or multiservice center for homeless shall comply with the <br />following: <br />(1) Occupancy.
