1. Consider Modifications to Business Licensing Program
Mr. Scott presented information for consideration in developing a new business license category for
residential facilities. He explained the advantages, disadvantages and alternatives to any changes
made to the existing program regulations. Mr. Scott further suggested keeping the maximum
number of occupants at four and define short-term rental in licensing requirements.
Council, staff and Mr. Scott had discussion on the concerns, options and consequences involved in
modifying the existing program regulations.
There was Council consensus to direct staff to 1) establish a definition of different types of group
homes; 2) look at the requirements that typically fall under state licensing, such as staffing; and 3)
change the zoning ordinance limit to 4 tenants in non-statutory group homes, allowing up to 6
tenants through a Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
