This ordinance (Case No. 24-LDC-0001) amends sections 1.2, 2.2, 4.2, and 4.3 of the Louisville Metro Land Development Code (LDC) to modify regulations concerning homeless and crisis shelters. The primary goal is to permit more homeless shelters with specific standards, moving away from requiring a Conditional Use Permit, and to establish an option for temporary crisis shelters during times of urgent need. The amendments introduce clear definitions for various shelter types, including 'Accessory Overnight Shelter,' 'Community Service Facility,' 'Day Shelter,' and 'Extreme Weather Shelter,' while also refining the definition of 'Homeless Shelter.' It also outlines specific standards and permitting processes for these shelter types, addressing aspects such as occupancy limitations, operational requirements, management plans, and locational criteria. The Planning Committee has recommended approval of these amendments to the Metro Council.
