The various city committees which have studied housing needs in recent years have identified major needs for senior citizens. The requirements of senior citizens differ from those af families and younger persons, so that the various provisions of the zoning ordinance pertaining to such things as density, offstreet parking, minimum unit size, etc. are not really appropriate for senior citizens developments. From a procedural standpoint the conditional use permit process is superior to the variance process which has been used in the past for these types of developments because of the findings required in order to approve a variance. Accordingly, the proposed amendment to Chapter 19.54 lists senior citizens' housing developments as unclassified uses so they may be allowed by conditional use permit in a variety of zones. A corollary amendment to Chapter 19.58 is necessary to allow some relief from the normal requirements of the zoning ordinance for such develop- ments. 2. This ordinance is offered as an in terim ordinance because of a senior citizens project which is pending. As is the case with all such ordinances, full consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council pursuant to public hearings will follow and any shortcoming discovered in that process can be corrected. Proposed amendment: Add subsection "P"' to Section 19.54.020: "P Senior citizens ' housing developments. (See Sec. 19.58.390)" Add: "Section 19.58.390 Senior citizens ' housing deve7opments.

Because the residents of such deve1opments have characteristics which differ from those of families and younger persons, it is not appropriate to apply all of the normal zoning standards to such developments. Accordingly, pursuant to the processing of a conditiona1 use permit for such developments, as required by Section 19.54.020 P, the Planning Commission may make exceptions to the density, offstreet parking, minimum unit size, open space, and such other requirements as may be appropriate. The Planning Commission may also adjust required set- backs, building .height, anu yard areas as appropriate to provide an adequate living environment both within the development and on nearby properties. Any exceptions and adjustments shall be subject to the condition that the develop- ment will be available for occupancy by senior citizens only. "
