Approve for Introduction Ordinance Nos. 4214, 4212, 4215, 4216, and 4213, approving Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 19-005 and Municipal Code Amendment adding Chapter 5.110 (Group Homes)

Statement of Issue:

Financial Impact:
Should the City Council vote to adopt ZTA No. 19-005 and amendment to the Huntington Beach Municipal Code adding Chapter 5.110 (Group Homes), the proposed regulations will require the development of application forms and review and approval processes to accommodate the dispensation of Special Use Permits by the Community Development Department and Operator's Permits by the Finance Department.
