It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to regulate the development and operation of supportive housing land uses. (Ord. 2012-08 § 7 (part))

“Supportive housing” shall mean housing with no limit on length of stay, that is occupied by the target population as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50675.14, and that is linked to on-site or off-site services that assist the supportive housing resident in retaining the housing, improving his or her health status, and maximizing his or her ability to live and, when possible, work in the community. (Ord. 2012-08 § 7 (part))

Supportive housing units are residential uses subject only to those requirements and restrictions that apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone. To encourage and facilitate the development of supportive housing, the city may allow flexible application of development standards. (Ord. 2012-08 § 7 (part))
