Summary

A scheduled public hearing on specialized housing (emergency shelters and related code language) was opened and continued to next week after staff received late legislative guidance and revised legal language.

The Planning Commission opened a public hearing on proposed specialized housing amendments, including emergency housing and shelter rules, but staff asked to continue the hearing to allow incorporation of last‑minute legislative changes and counsel’s edits.

Staff explained the proposed language needed to reflect 2026 legislative changes that take effect in June or July and advised continuing the hearing so the record can include corrected text. Commissioner Cindy moved to continue the hearing to the following meeting; the motion was seconded and passed with no opposition recorded in the transcript.

What’s next: the continued hearing will be on next week’s agenda; staff said they will provide the revised language and return it for public comment and formal action.
