Council reviews amendments to group care home ordinance; first reading scheduled for February
Summary
City staff updated the group care home ordinance to require licenses for single- and multi-family group care homes, adopt the zoning ordinance's 250-foot 'neighbor' definition, and apply a separate process for currently licensed homes. Staff will bring the ordinance for a first reading at the second February meeting.
City Manager Michael G. Dzugan told the Council that staff amended the group care home ordinance since its December presentation and highlighted three major changes. He said, "Licenses are required for both single-family and multifamily group care homes; 'neighbor' is defined using the 250-foot distance outlined in the zoning ordinance; and a separate process applies to currently licensed group care homes." Staff expects to present the ordinance for a first reading at the Council's second February meeting.
Council received the summary and no additional substantive amendments were recorded in the transcript. The change to define 'neighbor' using the zoning ordinance's 250-foot standard and the separate process for currently licensed homes will affect how notices and reviews are applied under the draft ordinance.
