§ 16.50.390.4. Social service agency use table.

A.

The following table shall be used to determine the applicable zoning district for the specified social service agency operational components. The table shall be used to determine whether the proposed use is a permitted use or a special exception use. If an operational component has been approved as a special exception use, no conversion to a different operational component which is a special exception use is allowed without obtaining a special exception approval for the new operational component. A social service agency's operational component is prohibited within any zoning district not specified or cross-referenced within the following table unless the component is clearly accessory.

Operational Components (Listed in order of impact intensity)	Zoning District	Approval Category
Administrative and treatment offices for nonresidents (includes counseling but no residential or overnight facilities)	These are office uses and shall be a permitted or special exception use in those districts in which office is a permitted or special exception use and shall meet all the requirements thereof.	Z
Long term housing such as permanent or transitional housing greater than six months. Facilities or services provided on-site shall be used for residents.	For housing units with individual kitchens in each unit, these are multi-family uses and shall be a permitted or special exception use in those districts in which multi-family uses with the same number of units are a permitted or special exception use.	Z
	For housing units without individual kitchens in each unit (communal or no kitchens): These uses are multi-family uses and shall be a special exception use in those districts in which multi-family uses are a permitted or special exception use.	SE
Short-term/emergency housing (< 6 months)	CCT, CCS, IT, RC, DC (1) , EC-2	SE
	IC (1)	P
Supply pantry	CCT, CCS, DC, EC-2	SE
	IC, IT	P
Personal care service/drop-in center	CCS, IT	SE
	IC	P
Food center	CCS, IT	SE
	IC	P
Two or more of any of the operational components operating of this table on the same approved site	Shall be a special exception in the districts where the most intense use is allowed.	SE
(1)  Short term/emergency housing is prohibited within the Dome Industrial Park (DIP) Community Redevelopment Area (CRA).
Rules of interpretation for table:  P = permitted by right;  SE = permitted by special exception;  Z = dependent on the zoning district and size of the proposed facility.

 

B.

For special exception approval of a social service agency which provides services for a specified number of persons at the site, the Development Review Commission may condition its approval with a limitation on the maximum number of persons served by the site at any one time in order to ensure that the impacts of the site do not exceed those reviewed in the approval.

If the Development Review Commission approves a limitation as set forth herein, it must grant the application, subject to the additional conditions and safeguards it has deemed necessary, approval of the site plan and any necessary variances, specifically stating the factors upon which its determination to require the limitation is based.
