It is assumed that in specific plans, development of R5 acreage wouldfollow the predominant development pattern.8.6.5 Transitional Housing andEmergency SheltersAny existing single-family or multi-familydwelling can be used as transitionalhousing. In addition, boarding and roominghouses can be operated in the RR, HR andmulti-family residential zones, without aconditional use permit. Table 8-16 is aninventory of existing transitional housingfacilities in the city. The City of MorenoValley’s membership in the March JointPowers Authority has already resulted in thecreation of transitional housing units andfacilitates.Table 8-28 illustrates the opportunitiesavailable for transitional housing in the formof vacant land, appropriately zoned for sucha housing use. Notwithstanding, the 5,200acres, appropriately zoned for transitionalhousing, it is the City’s estimate that atmaximum 1% of all possible units may bededicated to transitional housing.Furthermore, because of the City of MorenoValley’s membership in the Joint PowersAuthority for March Reserve Base, it is acompelling assumption that most of thefuture transitional housing will be developedat March where we currently have twentytwounits of transitional housing and 320transitional beds.The City of Moreno Valley General Planallows homeless shelters with conditionaluse permits in the following zones:Commercial, Office and Industrial/BusinessPark. Homeless shelters are a permitteduse in the Public zone.
