Jason Kelley, Senior Planner, gave the staff presentation for the proposed project.
DMG-can anyone apply for a group home license? like a private family.
JK- If they are operating a facility (sober living, residential) yes
TP- pleased that council brought this amendment forward. confirm that a group home must be 1000 ft from one another. can we include schools in the 1000 ft radius? concerned with sex offenders. how are people evaluated for living there.
JK- we solely require permit. they have regulations they have to abide by.
TP- what if there was an issue
JK- reviewed enforcement process
TP- does state get involved?
JB- it depends on the type of facility and the licensing. we would have to assess muni code to see if there are violations.
TP- spoke at length re prior incident at a sober living house.
BB- who enforces nuisance activity for the city?
JB- police, code, and what type of violation it is.
BB- so there is a structure in place
JB- correct
AP- think there are some issues with group homes. believe cc and law enforcement are making an effort to improve the situation.
BG- agree with commissioners. spoke about impacts. not wanting near schools. don't think we;re in a position to amend to exclude 1000 ft schools.
RR- we only follow council's direction. see memo attached. published legal advertisement. so if interested then recommend a minute action to buffer schools.
DMG- do neighbors have recourse before a license is approved.
BT- provisions on evictions, reappliactions, etc.
RR- no notification for the sober living home permit. but cups require permit.
kb- no language currently re: proximity to schools?
JK- correct. only buffer between uses.
TP- occupants get returned to their original place of residence. does that mean like new jersey?
JK- not sure how that's handled.
TP- don't know if we have standards of efficacy.
RR- return based on driver's license.
TP- we don't have to pay
RR- correct. please remember that this is existing language and not what we are here tonight
