The agenda for the October 12, 2020 Shoreline regular Council Meeting includes the following study items:

8(a) Discussion of Ordinance No. 906 - Adopting Interim Zoning Regulations to Allow Siting a 24/7 Enhanced Shelter in the R-48 Zone District

The City Council is working on a change to the Comprehensive Plan. This would allow low barrier shelters (aka Enhanced Shelters aka Navigation Centers) in all R-48 zones in the City of Shoreline.

"This is a legislative proposal applicable to the existing R-48 zoning districts in Hillwood, Echo Lake, Westminster Triangle, Highland Terrace, North City, Briarcrest, Parkwood, and Ridgecrest."

You can find the locations where low barrier shelters could be located on the map here (page 17)
