specifies that T and S shall be treated as residential uses subject to
the same'?deyeylopment stds and restrictions that apply to similar

Report, Background. Commission's option is to eliminate one or
both from a specific zone.
Loitering during daytime hours — The objective is to have clients in school,
attending training, or working. If Intake Procedures are handled off -site,
and vouchers distributed from that location, there would be no need for
clients to stand in line to obtain a bed for the night. The Management Plan
security program could include daytime reconnaissance that discourages
loitering at the Shelter or in the surrounding neighborhood.

shelters, who is going to pay for them because the City is not in a position to
incur any of the costs to run them?

build a shelter. It is a proposal to provide the opportunitygpr a developer, non-
profit organization or an association to apply for a shelters Vice Chairman O'Neal
