Definition

    An interim or permanent residential facility (as opposed to a lodging or medical treatment facility) that provides room and board to a group of persons who are not a "family" as that term is defined in this chapter, whether or not the facility is operated for profit or charges for the services it offers. This use does not include:

    • facilities that negotiate sleeping arrangements on a daily basis;
    • dwelling units occupied exclusively by families (Note: Dwelling units occupied exclusively by families are considered to be single family, duplex, or multifamily uses, as the case may be); or
    • any other use specifically defined in this chapter

Districts Permitted

    When located at least 1,000 feet from all other group residential facilities and handicapped group dwelling units (as defined in this chapter), by right in CH, multifamily, central area, and mixed use districts; otherwise, by SUP only in the same districts. For purposes of this provision, the distance between uses is measured in a straight line, without regard to intervening structures or objects, between the nearest boundaries of the building sites on which the uses are located. (Note: The spacing component of these use . regulations is based, not on the handicapped status of the residents, but on the non-family status of the groups

Required Off-Street Parking

    0.25 spaces per bed, plus one space per 200 square feet of office area; a minimum of four spaces is required. If an SUP is required for this use, the off-street parking requirement may be established in the ordinance granting the SUP. In determining this requirement, the city council shall consider the nature of the proposed use and the degree to which the use would create traffic hazards or congestion given the capacity of nearby streets, the trip generation characteristics of the use, the availability of public transit and the likelihood of its use, and the feasibility of traffic mitigation measures.
