Sec. 19.03. - Community residential homes.

Community residential homes: General requirements. Homes providing special services as described in Use 1.9 of the Table of Permitted Uses in section 16 shall comply with the following requirements:

All distance requirements in this section shall be measured from the nearest point of the existing home or area of single-family zoning to the nearest point of the proposed home.

A dwelling unit housing a community residential home established pursuant to this section shall be subject to the same local laws and ordinances applicable to other noncommercial, residential family units in the area in which it is established.

Nothing in this section shall permit persons to occupy a community residential home who would constitute a direct threat to the health and safety of other persons or whose residency would result in substantial physical damage to the property of others.

The siting of community residential homes in areas zoned for single family shall be governed by this land development code. Nothing in Section 419.001, Florida Statutes, as amended, prohibits the city from authorizing the development of community residential homes in areas zoned for single family.

Community residential homes one to six persons.

Homes of six or fewer residents which otherwise meet the definition of a community residential home shall be deemed a single-family unit and a noncommercial, residential use for the purpose of this land development code. Homes of six or fewer residents which otherwise meet the definition of a community residential home shall be allowed in single-family or multi-family zoning districts without approval by the city, provided that such homes are not located within a radius of 1,000 feet of another existing such home with six or fewer residents or within a radius of 1,200 feet of another existing community residential home.

Such homes with six or fewer residents are not required to comply with the notification provisions of Section 419.001, Florida Statutes, as amended; provided that, before licensure, the sponsoring agency provides the City with the most recently published data compiled from the licensing entities that identifies all community residential homes within the jurisdictional limits of the city in which the proposed site is to be located in order to show that there is not a home of six or fewer residents which otherwise meets the definition of a community residential home within a radius of 1,000 feet and not a community residential home within a radius of 1,200 feet of the proposed home.

At the time of home occupancy, the sponsoring agency must notify the city manager that the home is licensed by the licensing entity.

For purposes of this land development code determinations, these requirements do not affect the legal nonconforming use status of any community residential home lawfully permitted and operating as of July 1, 2016.

Community residential homes seven to 14 persons.

When a site for a community residential home of seven to 14 persons has been selected by a sponsoring agency in an area zoned for multi-family, the agency shall notify the city manager in writing and include in such notice the specific address of the site, the residential licensing category, the number of residents, and the community support requirements of the program. Such notice shall also contain a statement from the licensing entity indicating the licensing status of the proposed community residential home and specifying how the home meets applicable licensing criteria for the safe care and supervision of the clients in the home. The sponsoring agency shall also provide to the city the most recently published data compiled from the licensing entities that identifies all community residential homes within the jurisdictional limits of the city in which the proposed site is to be located.

The city shall review the notification of the sponsoring agency in accordance with this land development code.

(1)

Pursuant to such review, the city may:

(a)

Determine that the siting of the community residential home is in accordance with local zoning and approve the siting. If the siting is approved, the sponsoring agency may establish the home at the site selected.

(b)

Fail to respond within 60 days. If the city fails to respond within such time, the sponsoring agency may establish the home at the site selected.

(c)

Deny the siting of the home.

(2)

The city shall not deny the siting of a community residential home unless the city establishes that the siting of the home at the site selected:

(a)

Does not otherwise conform to existing zoning regulations applicable to other multifamily uses in the area.

(b)

Does not meet applicable licensing criteria established and determined by the licensing entity, including requirements that the home be located to assure the safe care and supervision of all clients in the home.

(c)

Would result in such a concentration of community residential homes in the area in proximity to the site selected, or would result in a combination of such homes with other residences in the community, such that the nature and character of the area would be substantially altered. A home that is located within a radius of 1,200 feet of another existing community residential home in a multi-family zone shall be an overconcentration of such homes that substantially alters the nature and character of the area. A home that is located within a radius of 500 feet of an area of single-family zoning substantially alters the nature and character of the area.

Nothing in this section shall be deemed to affect the authority of any community residential home located within the city lawfully established prior to October 1, 1989, to continue to operate.
