Proposed Changes to City's Review Authority Over Group (Congregate) Homes ➢ "Residential Congreizate Care Facilities." Definitions and use regulations have been revised to reflect recent changes in State Law which prescribe the types and ways cities can regulate group homes. While cities are generally prohibited from placing zoning restrictions on "congregate care" facilities that serve six or less residents, cities may regulate larger facilities to avoid "over concentration." A minimum 1000' spacing requirement has been proposed for such facilities that serve over six residents. ➢ "Group Housing." Outside of the "protected classes" of care facilities the State has established, cities have broad latitude to establish regulations. In most cases, "group housing" that is not a protected class (e.g. senior citizen's "assisted living" housing complexes) would only be permitted as a conditional use in the RM (Residential Multi- family) District, requiring neighborhood notification and use permit approval. III. Proposed Changes to City's Review Authority Over Some Commercial Uses "Check-Cashing//Payroll Advance Loan Business." Permanent regulations are proposed to replace the moratorium. All such business would require use permit approval and, as per the current Draft, would be subject to a 1,500-foot spacing requirement from other such businesses. \\DMYS\USER\DEFMS\Corey\Zonmg - stafirepocts\CC 2001-7-2\D- Worksman staff report 6-11.doc 115
