Town Council Meeting Minutes — April 28, 2025
Page 2
2025 Business Goal #5. Smith emphasized the need to proactively regulate these
facilities before issues arise, noting the alignment with the Town's strategic plan.
Key points included:
• Definitions: Clarifications of assisted living facilities (ALFs), community
homes, group homes, and convalescent homes based on state laws.
• Current Issues: Zoning challenges exist because ALFs are currently only
permitted in the Neighborhood Services District, not in residential areas.
• Proposed Solutions: Recommendations included amending zoning
ordinances to permit ALFs in residential areas with safeguards, adding
registration and annual inspection requirements, and updating the
Certificate of Occupancy (CO) process.
• Reasonable Accommodation: Federal and state laws require towns to allow
certain facilities in residential areas through a reasonable accommodation
process, particularly for individuals with disabilities.
• Compliance and Enforcement: The Town would require registration,
conduct inspections, and report non-compliance to the state; however, it
cannot unilaterally shut down facilities.
• Ordinance Updates: Proposed ordinance changes would align local
definitions with state law, establish registration and inspection fees, regulate
occupancy limits, and define an appeal process for reasonable
accommodation requests (likely through the Zoning Board of Adjustment).
Council directed staff to:
• Explore regulating on -street parking near assisted living facilities (ALFs).
• Determine whether a Certificate of Occupancy was issued for the Oak Hill
ALF and revoke it if appropriate.
• Investigate the feasibility of requiring criminal background checks for
residents of ALFs and group homes.
Staff will continue developing draft ordinances and policies, including inspection
procedures and fee schedules, and will present the proposed changes to the Planning &
Zoning Commission and the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Community outreach will follow
to gather public input before final ordinance adoption by the Town Council.
