The reports will include time participating within the program, household makeup, current city of residence, current income bracket, rent/mortgage status, employment status, and comments about the household's goals, successes, and drawbacks.

Continued Consideration of Supportive Housing Facilities Municipal Code Amendment (CA 11-01) (Laura Stokes, Housing/Redevelopment Coordinator). Ms. Stokes provided a summary of the staff report, specifically identifying the changes to the draft Code Amendment since the Committee reviewed it in September, and relating that the City Attorney determined that "with respect to transitional housing and supportive housing, S132 specifies only that such uses must be considered a residential use of property, subject only to those restrictions that apply to the other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone. Unlike emergency shelters, SB2 does not permit a city to enact objective development and management standards for these two types of uses." Therefore, the development standards were specified to be for only for emergency shelters. The Committee requested changes for clarity to section "B" and "C," specifically ensuring that both sections clarified that the "manager is to be on site during all hours of operations". Additionally, the committee had a discussion regarding adding additional regulations and determined that the Committees draft should be as un restrictive as possible and leave further restrictions to be implemented by the Planning Commission and the City Council. The Committee unanimously approved to forward the draft code amendment to the Planning Commission with recommendation of approval 4-0. G. SUB-COMMITTEE REPORTS 1. Sub-Committee Comments- i.
