DATE: November 7, 1978 Q A i
DEPARTMENT: City Attorney C. Mgr.
subject: RESU^T!^ CARE FACILITIES SERVING six OR LESS PERSONS
(ZCA-102)
Statement of the Matter
The present Carlsbad regulations on residential care
facilities are not consistent with recent changes in
State law. An ordinance amending the Zone Code has been
drafted to make Carlsbad regulations consistent with
State regulations.
Exhibits
Memorandum to City Attorney, dated October 19, 1978.
Senate Bill No. 2093.
Ordinance No. 9-JJT/ 3
Recommendation
The City Council should review the draft and if it approves,
direct the Planning Commission to set the matter for public
hearing.
Council action:
11-7-78 Council directed that the matter be returned to the Planning
Commission and set to public hearing.
DATE: OCTOBER 19, 1978
TO: CITY ATTORNEY
FROM: Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES AND ZONING RESTRICTIONS
Existing law requires that a state-authorized, certified or
licensed family care home, foster home, or group home serving
six or fewer mentally disordered, or otherwise handicapped
persons, or dependent and neglected children, be considered a
residential use of property for the purpose of zoning if such
facility provides care on a twenty-four-hour-a-day basis. The
law also requires that such a facility be a permitted use in
all residential zones, but allowed cities to require a con-
ditional use permit for such homes or impose on them more
restrictive conditions than those imposed on other similar
dwellings in the same zone, necessitated by health and safety
considerations. (Welfare and Institutions Code Section No. 5116).
On September 19, 1978, SB 2093, an urgency statute, amending
sections of the Health and Safety Code and Welfare and Institutions
Code relating to residential care facilities, was signed into law
to take effect immediately. Among other things, this bill revises
the existing provisions relative to residential facilities serving
six or fewer persons by deleting the authority of cities to
require conditional use permits, zoning variances, or to impose
zoning conditions on such facilities that are more restrictive
than those imposed on a single family residence in the same zone.
In short, for health and safety and zoning matters, such residential
facilities must be treated as single family residences and the
residents considered a family.
This legislation necessitates amending several sections of Title
21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, which now require conditional
use permits for such facilities, so that the Code is in conformance
with the new provisions of state law.
