Coupeville planners seek clearer group-home definitions as part of code cleanup
Summary
Commissioners asked staff to clarify what constitutes a 'group home class 1' and whether the definition is state-determined; staff said he will research and return with specifics.
Commissioners raised questions about the code definitions for group homes, specifically what constitutes a "group home class 1" and whether the classification and size limits are controlled by state statute or local code. One commissioner directly asked, "What is the definition of small?" and staff said he would look up the more specific criteria and return with an answer.
The request came late in the meeting as part of the broader development-regulation update and was treated as a follow-up item; staff committed to clarifying whether the classification is state-determined or based on square footage, occupancy or another standard, and to proposing text edits if needed.
