COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING SUPERVISED TRANSITIONAL HOMES
IN THE RL, RM, RH, UCRM, RLP, FS-RL, FS-RM, F-PRD AND S-SMD
ZONING DISTRICTS
BACKGROUND:
City Council directed staff on November 22, 2017 to draft an ordinance for creation of a
new group living use of a Supervised Transitional Home. A full explanation of the
ordinance and background information was included with the November 22, 2017 City
Council Action Form. This use will be added to the Chapter 29 Zoning Ordinance and
allowed subject to certain standards in single-family and two-farnily homes in all
residential zoning districts. The City Council also directed staff, as part of the next
Building and Fire Code updates, to incorporate fire inspection requirements for
Supervised Transitional Homes as a local amendment to Chapter 8 of the Municipal
Code.
Attached is the draft ordinance amending Chapter 29 of the Municipal Code.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can approve the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment to
create Supervised Transitional Homes as a new group living use in all residential
zones with special standards for approval in Article 13 of Chapter 29 of the Ames
Municipal Code.
2. The City Council can decline to adopt the proposed.ordinance change.
3. The City Council can direct staff to develop alternative language for the proposed
amendments regarding Supervised Transitional Homes.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:,
The proposed Supervised Transitional Home regulations are tailored to the needs of
local social service agencies to increase opportunities for a housing service that has
limited options within the current Zoning Ordinance. Staff believes the described
standards are supportive of the general amendment request from the social service
agencies, as well as from City Council, and provides a framework to address how such
uses can be incorporated into the community.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council
approve Alternative #1 as described above.

Diane, we were able to get the final ordinance done with Legal. Becki dropped it off.
I made a correction to my Council Action From to fix a mistake I made on Friday. The corrected
report is saved as Item 36 Corrected in the Completed folder on the T Drive.
