Shelter Overlay District, to permit emergency shelters with approval of a
building permit within areas of the IL, Industrial Light, land use district
lying south of 3rd Street, east of Waterman Avenue and north of Central
Avenue, declaring the urgency thereof, and taking effect immediately.
URGENCY (Continued from October 6, 2(08)
City Attorney Penman advised that this ordinance would be effective for a
period of 45 days.
Mayor/Chairman Morris advised that the City has hired a consultant who is
working with the City Attorney and with Planning on this matter, and within
that 45-day period they will have some preliminary information on their
recommendations, which can be considered by the entire Council at a special
meeting.

that the City already complies with state law considering the number of
resources that we provide to the homeless and other indigent services we
provide in our city in comparison to our region.

feeling that we probably already do comply. He added that Senate Bill No.2
took effect January 1, 2008, and all cities were supposed to be in compliance
with it by July I, of this year; however, no city in Riverside County and no city
in San Bernardino County had updated the housing element of their General
Plan by that deadline. He stated that he feels that by enacting this urgency
ordinance the City will be in a position of substantial compliance, which is
defensible in court.
Terri Rahha1, City Planner, advised that staff is moving forward with its
housing element-that the next step in the process will be some community
outreach. She stated that all the data gathering had been done and she believed
that within this 45-day period substantial progress will be made and there will be
some materials in draft form to review with the Council.

March 17, 2008, as suggested in the staff report dated October 3, 2008, from
