What this bill does
Directs cities to submit any zoning ordinances and development regulations addressing occupancy, spacing, or intensity of use requirements for transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, indoor emergency shelters, or indoor emergency housing to the Department of Commerce (Commerce) for review and approval prior to denying or rescinding a permit application. Prohibits a city from establishing or enforcing a zoning ordinance for transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, indoor emergency shelters, or indoor emergency housing until the ordinance is amended if Commerce finds that an ordinance, denial, or rescission violates requirements to allow such housing and shelters. Authorizes Commerce to develop all zoning regulations for any zone within the city that allows residential housing units or hotels until a city ordinance found in violation is amended.
