COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: July 24, 2025
FROM: Tamara Smith, MSL, Assistant to the Town Manager
AGENDA ITEM: Presentation and discussion on potential ordinance improvements for
regulating and permitting senior group homes and boarding homes. (Tamara
Smith, Assistant to the Town Manager)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
As part of the FY 2025 Business Plan, Goal #5 focuses on establishing best practices for
permitting and regulating senior group homes and boarding homes. This effort includes
developing recommendations for potential ordinance improvements to enhance Trophy Club's
reputation as a premier neighborhood community.
The Town is making significant progress on this initiative by refining facility definitions,
addressing zoning and ordinance considerations, and establishing licensing and registration
requirements. In the Town's current ordinance, convalescent and group homes are not state-
regulated or licensed, posing legal risks for the Town. To mitigate this risk, proposed ordinance
amendments will incorporate assisted living facilities and community homes, both state-
licensed and regulated, while setting occupancy limits for group homes to enhance compliance.
A reasonable accommodation request process will further protect the Town from ADA-related
lawsuits. Assisted living facilities currently fall under the convalescent home category in the
Town’s zoning ordinances, but updates are recommended to align with State regulations.
While licensing is governed by State law, the Town can strengthen oversight by implementing
registration and certificate of occupancy requirements.
To ensure compliance, the Town may require annual inspections, report violations to the Texas
Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), and revoke occupancy certificates for non-
compliance. Additionally, a legal framework is being developed to incorporate reasonable
accommodation procedures, ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) and mitigating potential discrimination claims related to group homes and addiction
treatment facilities. Considerations are also being given to occupancy limits, community home
requirements, and the renewal process for reasonable accommodations.
Next steps include updating the Town’s zoning ordinance to align with State laws,
implementing registration and inspection processes, and ensuring zoning regulations remain
legally sound.
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: N/A
Page 2 of 53
FISCAL IMPACT: Implementing a registration and inspection process will generate both
revenues and expenses. The Town is considering outsourcing inspections to a third-party
company, with proposed inspection revenues applied to offset expenses incurred by the Town.
As a result, this initiative is expected to have little to no impact on the Town's budget.
LEGAL REVIEW: Recommendations provided in the attached documents have been discussed
and reviewed with the Town Attorney.

Group Home for the Disabled:
A dwelling shared by four or more disabled persons, including resident staff, who live together as a single housekeeping unit and in a long-term, family-like environment in which the staff person(s) provide care, education, and participation in community activities for the residents. The primary goal is to enable the residents to live as independently as possible in order to reach their maximum potential.

Zoning and Ordinance Challenges
Page 12 of 53
Current Zoning Issue:
o ALFs fall under the Convalescent Home category in zoning ordinance, but
this is not a perfect fit.
o Assisted Living Facility (ALF)
o Provides shelter, food, personal care, medication, skilled nursing, and medical
assessments.
o Convalescent Home (Town Ordinance Definition)
o Any structure, other than a hospital, used for or occupied by persons recovering
from illness or suffering from the infirmities of old age.
Zoning and Ordinance Challenges
Page 13 of 53
Current Zoning Issue:
o ALFs are only permitted in the Neighborhood Services District (NS District), which
is not residential.
What is a NS District?
o A Neighborhood Services District is a designated area within a community that
focuses on improving local quality of life through services such as code enforcement,
housing assistance, community development, and neighborhood revitalization.
o The Town currently has 3 NS Districts:
o Fellowship United Methodist Church
o The Church at Trophy Lakes
o Xplor Preschool & School Age Care-Closed/Now Alliance Consulting Engineers

Reasonable Accommodation (RA)
Page 22 of 53
What is Reasonable Accommodation (RA)?
o A process for applicants to request modifications when their use doesn’t fit
traditional zoning definitions.
Unusual Applications Example:
o A sober living home that doesn't fit state definitions might request RA.
RA Process:
o Evaluate the request based on zoning concerns (e.g., overcrowding, safety).
o Modify the proposal if needed (e.g., limit occupancy).

Current Definition Exclusion:
o The ordinance excludes alcoholism or drug treatment centers and similar
homes, but addiction is a protected disability under the ADA.
Recommendation:

Community / Group Home
Reasonable Accommodation Policy and Procedure
I. PURPOSE.
This policy is intended to provide guidelines for the requirements of an application for
reasonable accommodation for any Community or Group Home located within the Town,
and for the Town's compliance to the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 3601-3619 (the "Federal
Fair Housing Act"), which requires that governments provide a "reasonable
accommodation" for the handicapped, if necessary, to afford an equal opportunity with
regard to the use and enjoyment of a dwelling.
II. DEFINITIONS.
a. Director shall mean the Director of Community Development for the Town of
Trophy Club, Texas, or his or her designee.
b. "Community Home" shall mean an entity (1) operated by the Texas Department of
Mental Health and Mental Retardation, Certified by the Texas Department of
Human Services as a provider under the medical assistance program serving
persons in intermediate care facilities or persons with mental retardation, or
licensed under Chapter 247, Health and Safety Code as an assisted living facility,
and (2) provides food and shelter, personal guidance, care, habitation services and
supervision to persons with disabilities in the home.
c. "Group Home" shall mean housing occupied by groups of four (4) or more
unrelated individuals with disabilities, which may or may not be provided by
organizations that also offer various services for individuals with disabilities
living in the home.
d. Individual with disability shall mean (1) an individual with a physical or mental
impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (2) an
individual who is regarded as having such impairment; and (3) an individual with
a record of such impairment.
e. Operator shall mean any person or entity responsible for any business or service
operations of a Community or Group Home.
f. Owner shall mean the owner of real property upon which a Community or Group
Home is to be located.

Page 47 of 53
An Owner or Operator shall not use, occupy, or cause to be used or occupied, any building
structure in any zoning district located within the Town as a Group Home without making
an application on form furnished by the Director.
IV. PROCEDURE FOR CONSIDERATION OF REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION FOR
DISABLED INDIVIDUALS.
a. A person requesting a reasonable accommodation from this ordinance on the
basis of a disability may file a request for reasonable accommodation with the
Community Development Department.
b. A reasonable accommodation request may be made to the Community
Development Department by any person with a disability; the person’s
representative; a developer; or a provider of housing for individuals with
disabilities. The request shall state the reason for the accommodation and the
basis for the request and demonstrate that the reasonable accommodation is
requested on the basis of disability and is both reasonable and necessary to
ensure equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities to obtain housing in
accordance with the Fair Housing Act.
c. The Director shall conduct a hearing to determine whether the request for
reasonable accommodation should be granted. The applicant or applicant's
representative shall have the burden to demonstrate that:
1. The applicant (or the person on whose behalf the applicant is
requesting the accommodation) suffers from a disability as defined by
the Fair Housing Act, as amended; and,
2. The applicant (or the person on whose behalf the applicant is
requesting the accommodation) demonstrates that the accommodation
is both reasonable and necessary. An accommodation under this
section is "necessary" if, without the accommodation, the applicant
will be denied an equal opportunity to obtain the housing of his or her
choice.
d. If the applicant demonstrates the matter set out in 4. (b) 1 and 2. above, the
request for reasonable accommodations shall be granted by the Director in
writing unless the accommodation would fundamentally alter the Town's land
use and zoning patterns or if the impact of the use on its surroundings is greater
than that of other uses permitted in the zoning district.
e. A reasonable accommodation for an increase in the number of residents
terminates if the property ceases to be operated as housing for disabled persons
as defined by the Fair Housing Act, as amended.
f. A decision of the Community Development Department regarding a reasonable
accommodation request may be appealed to the Town’s Zoning Board of
Adjustments.
