IV PLANNING STUDIES
.
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT - RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES
.
Mr. Carr and Mr. Miller reviewed previous materials and the
staff memo on this subject. Mr. Wight reviewed the results
of the phone survey of other communities on which he
assisted the Planning Department. The Planning commission,
in open conversation with the public present at the hear-
ing, discussed the distinction between general apartments
and State-licensed facilities, including such things as
meals and methods of operation. Mr. Torres expressed a
preference for tying adult care facilities to state
licensing because that ensures a guarantee of quality of
service. There was some discussion about retaining nursing
homes in the Single-Family Residential Districts and
allowing group homes in such areas as well, provided that
detention-type facilities were not included. Most of the
Commission considered nursing homes with five or more
clients as a Conditional Use in the Single-Family Residen-
tial Districts acceptable. All of the commission felt that
State-licensed boarding homes for seniors containing five or
more clients could be Conditional Uses in the Single-Family
Residential Districts, provided there were minimum con-
ditions and performance standards included. The Commission
decided to change the group homes definitions to just the
sub-category for adult family homes. Further work will need
to be done at a later date for juvenile detention facilities
and half-way houses and similar group home uses. With that
clarification, the Commission. is clear as to what an adult
