Title: HOMELESSNESS SOLUTIONS STRATEGIC PLAN (2023-2027) - YEAR ONE REPORT (2023) On November 15, 2022, the Council approved the Homelessness Solutions Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan) for the five-year period beginning January 2023 through December 2027. The Strategic Plan provides key strategies and actions that focus on bolstering the City’s response to the homelessness crises, aligning efforts with the Sonoma County Homeless Coalition (formerly Sonoma County Continuum of Care) to achieve the regional goal of “Functional Zero” homelessness by 2027. A system of care achieves “Functional Zero” when a person’s experience with homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring. This report highlights the City’s progress toward implementing year one of the five-year Strategic Plan.

Title: PUBLIC HEARING - SENIOR COMMUNITY CARE FACILITY ZONING CODE TEXT AMENDMENT BACKGROUND: On August 3, 2023, the applicant submitted a Zoning Code Text Amendment to remove the overconcentration limitation for senior care facilities.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning Commission and the Planning and Economic Development Department that the Council introduce an ordinance amending the text of Title 20 of the Santa Rosa City Code, Section 20-42.060, Community Care and Health Care Facilities, to exempt senior care facilities from the Community Care Facility overconcentration limitation and spacing requirement, and Section 20-70.020, Definitions of Specialized Terms and Phrases, to modify the definition of Community Care
