The Louisville Metro Council adopted Resolution No.019, Series 2024, directing the Planning Commission to review the Land Development Code (LDC) regarding Homeless and Crisis Shelters. The proposed text amendment aims to permit more Homeless Shelters with standards instead of requiring a Conditional Use Permit, and to create an option for Temporary Crisis Shelters for urgent needs. The amendment expands access to three shelter options: Day Shelter (indoor shelter and services during daytime hours), Accessory Overnight Shelter (religious organizations providing overnight shelter for up to 25 occupants), and Extreme Weather Shelter (available during periods of extreme heat/cold, poor air quality, or storm warnings). The proposal intends to enhance inclusivity, increase location flexibility and dispersion of services, and allow for the rehabilitation and reuse of existing infrastructure and buildings. The Planning and Zoning Committee amended and recommended approval of the proposed text amendments to the Louisville Metro Council.
