Interim Use for Housing with Hotels and Motels

Interim Housing is defined as a residential use located on land owned or leased by the City, or provided through a contractual arrangement between the City and a third party, that provides shelter to Clients experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, and provides on-site supportive services, including, without limitation, intake and assessment of Clients’ needs, outreach to the Clients to assist them with health or social needs, management of the health or social needs of Clients, and referrals for services to the Clients. 

This affidavit serves as a formal intent by the applicant, and the property owner if the applicant is not the property owner, to use the property as Interim Housing. If approved, the subject hotel or motel will not abandon or discontinue its land use authorization as a hotel or motel under the Planning Code, irrespective of whether such existing hotel or motel use is a principally permitted, conditionally permitted, or non-conforming use.
