Title
AN ORDINANCE relating to zoning, to permit domestic violence shelters as a permitted use in the R-1 through R-8 zones and preserving the need for a high degree of confidentiality for such facilities as to location; and amending Ordinance 10870, Section 330, as amended, and K.C.C. 21A.08.030.
Body
STATEMENT OF FACTS
Domestic violence is an unfortunate reality for many members of society and shelters are needed to provide an escape from domestic violence. Due to the unstable nature of those persons prone to committing domestic violence, such shelters need a high degree of confidentiality as to location. This confidentiality protects shelter residents, staff, neighbors and the community at large. Requiring shelters to obtain a conditional use permit through a widely publicized public review process undermines confidentiality and increases the risk of contact with those who would commit domestic violence.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. Ordinance 10870, Section 330, as amended, and K.C.C. 21A.08.030 are each hereby amended to read as follows:
