Commission extends temporary moratorium on group homes for 180 days
Summary
The Dayton City Commission declared emergency passage of Resolution 6916-26 to extend a temporary moratorium on applications for group-home permits for 180 days, to allow staff further study of zoning limits and a potential citywide cap for foster-care facilities.
The Dayton City Commission voted unanimously on Feb. 4 to adopt emergency Resolution 6916-26, extending for 180 days a temporary moratorium on acceptance and processing of zoning, occupancy, conditional-use and building-permit applications for residential facilities (commonly described as group homes).
City staff told commissioners the extension is intended to buy time for additional analysis and public review of whether a citywide cap can legally be applied to foster-care facilities while other forms of group homes remain subject to existing ordinance provisions. "The moratorum as it stands...impacts all group homes, but the specific direction we are operating under is a citywide cap that can only be applied to foster care facilities," staff said, noting other rules (separation distances, inspections) still apply to sober-living and re-entry homes. The resolution was moved, seconded and approved by roll call vote.
