Coral Street Overlay District and Temporary Housing Zoning Amendments

Santa Cruz

Description

A new overlay district allowing temporary housing, supportive housing, 100% affordable housing, and related services by right near Coral Street, introduced with a five-story/60-foot height cap and added staff directions.

Impact summary

Would make it much easier to build shelter and supportive housing capacity the state requires, while neighbors worry about parking, sanitation, and industrial compatibility.
