Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 2 BACKGROUND: Some of Newport Beach's "villages," including West Newport and the central Balboa Peninsula have significantly higher numbers of group residential uses than other parts of the city, and than other parts of the state. As the amount of group residential facilities (residential treatment facilities, "sober living" homes, boarding houses, and care facilities) has grown, residents and Council members have been concerned that too many of these homes in certain areas causes adverse secondary affects, like: • Extensive secondhand smoke; • Higher levels of profanity and lewd speech; • Slower or gridlocked transportation routes, if such routes are blocked by transit vans; • More frequent deliveries (laundry, food, medicine, office goods) than is typical for a residential area; • Noise and traffic associated with more frequent trash collection; • Lack of frequent trash collection, in some instances, leading to vermin and odors; • Persons unwillingly removed from the facilities left "on the streets" with few resources to return home, leading to scavenging or petty theft; • Excessive debris, including cigarette butts, on sidewalks, in gutters, on streets; and/or • Illegal smoking in public places where smoking is banned, including Oceanfront Walk and beaches. Other residents worry that a block or community that has a certain number of group residential uses both: • Changes the residential character of the neighborhood; and • May not be beneficial to persons in recovery as they attempt to re- integrate their new sober lifestyle into typical society and essentially "institutionalize" their recovery efforts as well as the neighborhood. I — ABOUT NEWPORT BEACH AND TREATMENT FACILITIES The City has told the State of California via the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs ( "ADP ") that the City believes that Newport Beach has a disproportionately high number of licensed and unlicensed residential group uses serving the disabled. Specifically, the City of Newport Beach: • Has 28 ADP - licensed residential alcohol and drug treatment and recovery facilities. Those facilities currently hold about 206 licensed residential beds, and are licensed for a total occupancy of 250 individuals (this number includes staff). Three (3) of the licensed facilities do not house residents — they are treatment locations only. • Has at least 48 unlicensed facilities, most with 6 or fewer residents, and most operated by one of two large local operators (Sober Living by the Sea and Morningside). City staff is still verifying the existence of possible additional unlicensed facilities and the ultimate verified number could be higher. The estimated number of unlicensed beds is 297 as of the date of this staff report. Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 3 • Combining the known number of licensed beds with an estimate of unlicensed beds, Newport Beach has about 503 total recovery beds within our city limits today (now including 65 beds at six homes in West Santa Ana Heights — this area was annexed into Newport Beach effective January 1, 2008). Of the 34 cities in Orange County, 18 have no ADP - licensed residential beds at all, and six cities have only one or two licensed residential recovery facilities. We do not know how many unlicensed facilities each community has, because this is not a number reportable to any agency. In summary, the city is likely to have the highest amount of residential recovery facilities in Orange County and possibly the state. II — RECENT (UPDATED) HISTORY That noted, in recent years residents and Council members have asked that the City change the way it regulates group residential uses. The following steps, among others, have been taken towards that goal: • In January 2007, the City Council formed the Council /Citizens Committee on Intense Residential Occupancies (IROC) which met three times. • In March 2007, the City convened a Residential Recovery Facilities Conference in Newport Beach to assist our city and other municipalities to better understand State and Federal law relating to Group Residential Uses. More than 300 persons from over 90 cities attended. • The City testified in Sacramento before the State Senate's Health Committee in support of SB 1000 (Harman, 2007) to allow localities to better regulate group residential uses. SB 1000 also would have defined "integral facilities" within State law. SB 1000 failed passage. • On April 24, 2007, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2007 -8 which, among other things, imposed a Temporary Moratorium on the establishment and operation of new group residential uses in Newport Beach. • On May 30'h, 2007, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2007 -10 which extended much of the Temporary Moratorium through October 30, 2007. • After adoption of Ordinance No. 2007 -8 but prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 2007 -10, City staff distributed a questionnaire asking about impacts caused by group residential uses. The questionnaire went to three areas of the city. • In August and September 2007, the Newport Beach Planning Commission held two public hearings on proposed a new ordinance that would regulate Group Residential Uses. The Planning Commission forwarded its recommendation on the draft ordinances to the City Council at the Commission's September 20, 2007 meeting. • In late September 2007, the City Council hired special counsel Richards Watson Gershon to review the Planning Commission's work, review previous counsel's work, to extend the moratorium, and to refine the ordinance approved by the Planning Commission for presentation to the City Council. • On October 17, 2007, City Council extended the Temporary Moratorium for twelve months. Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 4 • In November 2007, the City filed lawsuits against two operators (Morningside Recovery and Pacific Shores Recovery) to stop alleged violations of the Moratorium. • In December 2007, the City successfully prosecuted its citation of a property owner during an Administrative Hearing. The property owner of 911 East Balboa claimed that she was operating a sober living facility, while the City asserted that she was illegally operating a boarding house in a residential zone. • On December 11 and December 18 2007, the City Council held public meetings to discuss the proposed new Group Residential Use ordinance which is the subject of this staff report. • On January 8, 2008, the City Council took testimony from about 30 speakers at a noticed public hearing reflecting the introduction and first reading of the Group Residential Use ordinance that is the subject of this staff report. Also on January 8, 2008, residents of an illegal boarding house on 391h Street were evicted in part due to City enforcement actions. • On January 9, 2008, Council Member Henn and Assistant City Manager Kiff testified before the Senate Health Committee on an amended SB 1000 (Harman, 2007) that asked applicants for new ADP licenses to merely sign and certify that the applicant's proposal is consistent with local zoning. The bill was defeated, 24. Interested readers can review other historical information, recent City actions, the Planning Commission's approved ordinance, the resolutions adopting and extending the moratorium, and related staff reports on the City's website (www. city. newDort- beach.ca.us) under Group Residential Uses. III — BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT CONCEPTS AND TERMS It is important to understand the following concepts underlying this staff report and within the attached ordinance: A "Licensed 6 and Under" is a group residential use housing six or fewer persons needing treatment and that offers one or more of five different types of rehab treatment at the house. It is against the law to offer any of the five types of treatment at an unlicensed facility. ADP is the state agency that licenses rehab facilities offering treatment. There are five (5) types of treatment that, if offered on -site, require a license according to ADP: • Detoxification • Group Counseling • One -on -One Counseling • Development of a Treatment Plan • Educational Sessions To prevent discrimination against persons in recovery and to allow residential recovery statewide, California State law (California Health and Safety Code §11834.23) deems that a city must treat a "Licensed 6 and Under" — standing alone and not networked with other facilities — just as the City treats any single family use. !Newport Beach has approximately 20 "Licensed 6 and Under" facilities. Only one of the 20 appears to be a stand -alone facility. Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 5 An "Unlicensed 6 and Under" is a home where 6 or fewer persons in the house reside and agree to stay sober during their residency. These homes are also called "sober living homes." The residents are often (but not necessarily) involved in a treatment program. Treatment is provided outside of the home they live in. None of the five types of ADP treatment can be provided on -site. Residents also might attend Alcoholics Anonymous ( "AA ") meetings, and these can be on -site. ADP does not consider AA meetings "treatment," because they typically do not involve a licensed counselor. Unlicensed facilities are not regulated by the state and it is legal under State law to operate an unlicensed facility, provided that treatment is not provided on -site. • "Large Group Residential Uses" — with seven or more residents — can either be sober houses or treatment facilities (the latter being licensed, the former not). State and federal law allows cities to subject these larger uses to use conditions and permits. A city must also provide a resident the opportunity to request a 'reasonable accommodation" (see below) from local regulations on a case by case basis. Combining the number of Unlicensed 6 and Unders with larger unlicensed facilities, Newport Beach has at least 73 of these facilities. Newport Beach has five large licensed facilities, all on the Balboa Peninsula. "Integral facilities" and 'Integral uses." In some cases, and in many cases in Newport Beach, facility operators network — or link — two or more facilities operationally. They may house clients in one house, and treat them in another or at a commercial location. They may transport clients in a single network of vans or shuttles. Staff may go from one house to another, offering counseling or other treatment services. Clients from various houses may all attend a single large meeting together. The City believes that this type of networking makes "6 and Unders" a different (and larger) type of use than a stand -alone use. Yet often times the State licenses a handful of integrated facilities as distinctly separate 6 and Unders. The proposed City ordinance contains a definition for "integral facility" and "integral use" so that the City can determine if such facilities should be regulated as one or more larger facilities. Of the 76 known facilities in Newport Beach, only about eight (8) do not appear to operate integrally with other facilities. "Reasonable Accommodation" is a term from federal statutes and case law that requires cities to provide disabled persons with a process.to attain special exceptions from local zoning or regulations in order to provide such persons with an equal opportunity to housing. For example, a disabled person denied a housing type of his or her choosing may request that the City allow them to reside in a specific location — in effect overriding the local regulation that may be applicable to the use. The proposed ordinance contains a chapter dedicated to the Reasonable Accommodation process (Chapter 20.98). "Use Permit" or "UP." A Use Permit (often used interchangeably with the term "Conditional Use Permit") is a discretionary permit that permits a certain use — like the operation of a group home, the operation of a school or the operation of a restaurant — if certain findings can be made. Such uses are typically subject to certain conditions described within a written document or permit that are often referred to as "conditions of approval." A local government can revoke the permit, after providing notice and a hearing, if the permit holder does not comply with the permit conditions. Restaurants, many commercial operations, and many more uses require a use permit in Newport Beach. Single- family residences do not require use permits; however various uses in residential districts require a use permit such Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 6 as park and recreation facilities, public safety facilities, religious assembly uses, public and private schools and accessory structures and uses. • "FEP" or "Federal Exception Permit." In 2004, the City adopted a regulatory scheme within the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC or Code) for group residential facilities treating seven or more disabled persons that the City refers to as the "FEP" process. The FEP was intended to provide a public hearing process similar to the Use Permit process but incorporating the Reasonable Accommodation process. Therefore, an issued FEP would contain a finding or findings that a specific use was an exception to some local laws (like Use Permits) under the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (and other laws). No FEP was ever issued by the City, nor did anyone apply for one. City staff believes that some facilities subject to the FEP told the City that they would operate as a "6 and Under," but facility managers submitted a higher resident plan to State ADP. Because the State does not check with localities to verify compliance with local zoning, ADP issued some licenses for facilities that did not have FEPs. • Nonconforming Structures and Uses. Cities change zoning regulations over time. For example, in the 1930s in Newport Beach, some properties did not have setbacks — meaning a home could be built all the way to the property line, with no side yard or back yard. When the City established setbacks, those properties that didn't conform to the new setback standards were deemed to be legally built, but non - conforming to the new Code. They were "grandfathered" in many cases. The term "legal, non - conforming" is a common one. But for readers' information, the term "illegal, non - conforming" is redundant and not commonly used. If a property has construction (or a use) that was illegal at the time the use started or the time the building was constructed, it's just illegal. • "Nonstandard Subdivision Map (Area)." At its September 20, 2007 meeting, the Newport Beach Planning Commission approved a map called the Nonstandard Subdivision Map (see Attachment B). The Map (now called an Area) overlaid several neighborhoods in Newport Beach — including West Newport, the Balboa Peninsula, Balboa Island, Lido Isle, Newport Shores, and Corona del Mar — and declared that the small lot sizes, small setbacks, limited parking, narrow streets, and other characteristics of these areas made these neighborhoods "non- standard" and unlike a typical residential lot in Newport Beach. IV — ABOUT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE This staff report does not attempt to discuss past history unless the history is helpful to the context of the proposed ordinance. Nor does it attempt to provide a legal analysis or legal justification of the approach. Instead, it attempts to explain — in a broad summary and general form — the key aspects of the proposed ordinance (provided as Attachment A) that are different from the City's current Code relating to Group Residential Uses. NOTE: Where significant changes were directed by the City Council following the close of the public hearing as Council passed the Ordinance to 2nd Reading on January 8, 2008, staff summarized these changes are provided in strikeout and underline (and GREEN font for those with color printers) in Section IV to this staff report. Fixes to typographical errors and non - substantive changes were also made to the ordinance shown in Attachment A to this Staff Report — these are not summarized herein. Adoption -- Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 7 KEY ASPECTS OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE A. FEP and Reasonable Accommodation. All references to FEPs in the current Code are removed. As noted above, the concept of reasonable accommodation is a process by which a disabled person or a facility operator can request a reasonable accommodation — this is included as a new Chapter 20.98. The applicant fills out an application per NBMC §20.98.020. At a Public Hearing (where neighbors are notified as to the Hearing), the Hearing Officer hears the request ( §20.98.025) and considers the request based on the evidence presented. He or she makes findings to approve, conditionally approve or deny the request. The Hearing Officer's decision can be appealed to the City Council. B. Integral Facilities & Integral Uses. This ordinance defines "Integral Facilities" and "Integral Uses" (see §20.03.030). In addition to defining the terms, the proposed ordinance states that the City will consider facilities that operate integrally to be uses subject to a Use Permit and therefore regulated similarly to small unlicensed facilities or general (7 and over") facilities (see several sections, primarily the "UP -OFC" requirement within the charts in §20.10.020 and subsequent Specific Plan District areas). C. Siting of New Facilities. The proposed ordinances change current Code, which today allows various group residential uses in any zone in the City (some requiring an FEP), to the following zones as shown in Table 1 (see several sections, primarily the " - - =' and the "UP -OFC" notations within the charts in §20.10.020 and subsequent Specific Plan District areas): Table 9 Importantly, note that the prohibitions of certain group residential uses in the R -1, R -1.5, and R- 2 zones apply to new facilities. Many existing group residential facilities — indeed most if not all of the unlicensed facilities — would become "legal non - conforming" upon adoption of this ordinance. All legal, non - conforming group residential uses would immediately be subject to the Use Permit process described below, and would have to apply for a Use Permit within 90 days of the effective date of the proposed ordinance (estimated to be May 20, 2008) to continue their use. The process is described in more detail below and in the flow charts that were part of the January 8, 2008 Staff Report.

All legal, non - conforming group residential uses would immediately be subject to the Use Permit process described below, and would have to apply for a Use Permit within 90 days of the effective date of the proposed ordinance (estimated to be May 20, 2008) to continue their use. The process is described in more detail below and in the flow charts that were part of the January 8, 2008 Staff Report. Adoption -- Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 8 D. Abatement of Existing Legal Non - Conforming Uses. The proposed ordinance (see Chapter 20.62 and specifically §20.62.090 — Abatement) directs that any operator within one of the zones shown in Table 1 where their operation is either prohibited or allowed with a Use Permit but who fails to obtain a Use Permit or to secure Reasonable Accommodation in a timely manner must cease this use as follows: Abatement. If an applicant does not apply for a Use Permit or reasonable accommodation by May 20, 2008 (assuming the ordinance becomes effective on February 20, 2008), or otherwise fails to timely obtain the Use Permit or the Reasonable Accommodation, the City will abate the use within: One (1) year from the date this ordinance becomes effective (assumed to be February 20, 2008); or The date an operator's lease expires to use the property. This is only applicable if the lease was entered into prior to December 7, 2007 ( §20.62.090.A.2.a.ii); or The date that an operator's State license expires (ADP licenses are good for up to 24 months if not revoked or if uses are unchanged). ... whichever of the above three criteria is sooner ( §20.62.090.A.2). An operator can apply to the Planning Commission a Hearing Officer for an extension of the abatement period, subject to certain findings ( §20.62.090.C.4.a -f). If seeking an extension, the applicant must apply for the extension not less than 90 days prior to the end of the abatement period ( §20.62.090.B.2). The Hearing Officer's extension decision can be appealed to the City Council ( §20.62.100). E. The Use Permit Process. As noted, existing non - conforming uses and new uses in the Multi- Family Residential ( "MFR) Zone must apply for a Use Permit to remain in operation or to start operation. The Use Permit process exists today in the Code as Chapter 20.91. The proposed ordinance amends Chapter 20.91 (mostly to clean -up and remove references to the FEP) and adds a new Chapter 20.91A to address existing legal non - conforming group residential uses in residential districts. Chapter 20.91A will also cause some other legal non- conforming uses in Newport Beach's residential districts to seek a Use Permit from a Hearing Officer or be abated. he key provisions are as follows: 7 — Timing. As noted, applicants in non - conforming status have 90 days to apply for a Use Permit once these ordinances are adopted by the Council ( §20.91A.020) — this date is estimated to be May 20, 2008. 2 — Application. The ordinance requires an applicant to provide information described below. Attaining this information should ensure that any use is operated in compliance with applicable laws, that the operator has a history of operating facilities consistent with any applicable laws, and that the applicant operating under a Use Permit will operate in a manner that minimizes adverse impact on facility residents, neighbors, the community, or the character of the neighborhood and that the use conforms with established industry standards for the well -being of the facility residents (see application requirements in §20.91A.030.A, §20.91A.050 and §20.91A.060.1). Each applicant must describe: • Facility users (staff, clients, visitors, more). • Characteristics of the use (hours of operation and more). Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 9 • Transportation and parking, including routes used to transport clients. • Similar uses nearby. • Proposed operations and a management plan, including data about the applicant, co- owners, partnership information, a medical waste disposal plan, and more. • Occupancy levels. • The applicant's license and permit history — including revocations or suspensions. • Similar operations owned or operated by the applicant in California within the past five years, as well as any violations of state or local law, revocations and suspensions of licenses or permits associated with any of those locations, and • A declaration that the applicant/operator has not violated any laws, regulations, or ordinances at any of its locations, or if so, to specify such violations. 3 — Notice and Hearing. A qualified Hearing Officer would be designated to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove Use Permits at a noticed public hearing, with appeal rights to the City Council ( §20.91A.040). The City must mail or deliver notice of a proposal to issue a Use Permit to a group residential use in a residential district to owners and occupants of property within 300' of the proposed use ten (10) business days prior to a public hearing on the use ( §20.91.030.C.1.a). 4 — Standards. Any Use Permit issued must adhere to these specific standards if applicable to the use ( §20.91A.050.A -F): • No secondhand smoke can be detectable outside of the property. • Operations must comply with state law, local law, the submitted management plan, including any modifications to the plan required in the Use Permit. • A contact name and number must be provided. • No one can provide services that require a license if they don't have a license for those services. • There shall not be more than two persons per bedroom plus one additional resident. If an applicant wants to put more than 2 persons in one or more bedrooms, the applicant must request greater occupancy. The Hearing Officer may set different occupancy limits based on structure characteristics, traffic and parking impacts, and the health, safety, and welfare of the persons residing in the facility and neighborhood. • Where certification from a responsible entity other than ADP's licensing program is available to an operator (like the County Sheriffs sober living facilities certification program), applicants must get that certification. • Every individual or entity involved in the facility's operation or ownership shall be disclosed to the City. • No owner or manager shall have any demonstrated pattern or practice of operating similar facilities in violation of law whether in or outside of Newport Beach. 5 — Applicant Signature and Accuracy of Application. The "owner of record" of the property or an authorized agent must sign the application form and must state, under penalty of perjury, that the information provided is true and correct. False statements are grounds for denial or revocation ( §20.90.030.C). Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 10 6 — Findings. In addition to the findings set forth in the provisions governing Use Permits generally, the proposed ordinance ( §20.91A.060.A -F) provides that the Hearing Officer can approve a Use Permit only if certain findings can be made: • The project has adequate parking on -site. • Traffic and transportation impacts have been mitigated to a level of insignificance. • Structures are suitable for the use. • The use will be compatible with the character of the neighborhood and will not create an over - concentration of residential care uses nearby. To make or sustain these findings, the Hearing Officer shall consider as appropriate the following factors: • How close the proposed use is to schools, parks, other group homes, and alcoholic beverage outlets (and more); and • Whether the existence of non - standard lots and other property characteristics (linking back to the Nonstandard Subdivision Area at Attachment B) made such a use inappropriate; and • Whether the Hearing Officer should deem that the American Planning Association's (APA's) standard of permitting one or two group uses per block would be appropriate in this case OR whether a greater degree of separation is appropriate ( §20.91A.060.D.1 -3). The Ordinance describes facts in Newport Beach relating to blocks, which include: • Blocks in the Nonstandard Subdivision Area can be as short as 300'. • Blocks in Newport Beach outside of the Area can be as long as 1,422'. • The calculable average block lenath in Newport Beach outside of the Area is 711'. If the Hearing Officer applies the APA standard, he or she is directed to do so in a manner that eliminates the differences in block lengths and guided by the median block lengths in standard subdivision areas of the city, even if the proposed facility is within the Nonstandard Subdivision Area. The Hearing Officer retains the discretion to apply ANY degree of separation of uses which he or she deems appropriate. • That vans, shuttles, or buses for transportation of clients will not generate more traffic than normally generated by residential activities nearby. • That the operations do not have goods delivery, service deliveries or commercial trash collection during hours that would cause an adverse affect to the peace and quiet of neighboring properties. 7 — Revocation of the Use Permit. The proposed ordinances (Section 18 of the ordinance — an amendment to §20.96.040.E) provide that that the Hearing Officer can revoke a UP (similarly to other uses subject to a UP) if these findings are made: • The permit was issued under erroneous information or misrepresentation; or • The applicant made a false or misleading statement of material fact, or omitted a material fact; or • The conditions of use or other regulations or laws have been violated; or • There has been a discontinuance of use for 180 days or more. Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 11 F. Defining and Depicting a Block. The proposed ordinance ( §20.03.030) defines a block (this is relevant because of the APA reference above) as an area of land that is bounded on all sides by alleys or streets, or by streets and a shoreline, or by a cul -de -sac or similar end to a street. Table 2 shall henome paFt of the definition, with the area in gray d9piGtiRg a typiGal blook bounded by streets and alleys: G. Repeal of the Temporary Moratorium. The proposed ordinance repeals Newport Beach Ordinance #2007 -16 (Temporary Moratorium on the Establishment and Operation of New Residential Uses that are Transitory in Nature). See previous staff reports and the Council's action of October 17, 2007 for information about the Moratorium and Ordinance #2007 -16. H. Severability Clause. Section 21 of the ordinance allows provisions of the ordinance to remain in effect if portions are held unconstitutional or otherwise invalid. V — OTHER ISSUES ABOUT THE ORDINANCE WORTHY OF NOTE Over the course of 2007 and early 2008, these issues have come up in regards to group residential uses. The issues include recommendations by RWG to address them, often in a manner separate from the proposed ordinance: A. Registration. RWG has advised that requesting a group residential use to "register" would violate federal fair housing laws. All group residential uses, regardless, are required to obtain a business tax certificate even though by State law, the ADP - Licensed 6 and Unders do not have to pay the tax. The City already has access to information about ADP - Licensed 6 and Unders via the State database on licensed facilities. B. ADA. Some residents asked whether all group residential facilities must be compliant for wheelchair access under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). RWG advises that case law says that ADA does not require a residential facility to accommodate persons in wheelchairs unless the persons residing there require wheelchair access. In other words, if a person's disability allows them to be fully ambulatory, the house in which they reside does not have to be compliant for non - ambulatory persons. C. Short -Term Lodging Permits. Short-term lodging permits, addressed in the April 2007 version of the Moratorium, are not included in or addressed by this ordinance. D. The Planning Commission's Actions. Generally, RWG took what the Planning Commission (PC) passed on September 20, 2007, and reviewed it anew. Some concepts of the Planning Commission's recommendations remain; others were changed in accordance with RWG's legal recommendations. These changes include: Dispersing Locations by 1,000'. The Commission recommended a standard that said that all uses except stand -alone Licensed 6 and Unders would be distanced at least 1,000' from each other within a certain zone. The 1,000' dispersement standard has been requested repeatedly by some residents. These same residents have provided input during the public review of this ordinance. Nevertheless, the dispersement standard has been deleted due to: (a) The lack of any presented logical basis for choosing 1,000' as a standard; (b) The existence of legal precedents which have invalidated legislation containing such a standard as constituting facial discrimination; and Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 12 (c) The lack of a suggested method for applying the standard to existing uses in an equitable manner. The proposed ordinance provides that certain new uses (any facility operating integrally, any large Licensed facility [7 or more residents] and all unlicensed facilities) may be established in the MFR zone with a Use Permit. For existing uses, the ordinance allows the Hearing Officer to consider whether it would be appropriate to apply APA's distancing guidelines or other degree of separation when considering Use Permits for existing facilities. It does not limit his or her discretion to consider greater distances to a specific amount of feet (except for stand -alone Licensed 6 and Unders) ( §20.91A.060.D.1 -3). Unlicensed 6 and Unders in R -1.5 and R -2. The Planning Commission's recommended ordinance allowed Unlicensed 6 and Unders to be in these two zones with a use permit. This proposed ordinance excludes all new unlicensed facilities of any size from R -1.5 and R -2 (both documents exclude these uses from R -1). To cross reference the ordinance on this, see several sections, primarily the " —" and the "UP" notations within the charts in §20.10.020 and Specific Plan District areas. An Overlay Zone. The PC recommended an "Overlay Zone" — also referred to as the Nonstandard Subdivision Map — that would have special requirements (including the distancing referred to above) for any facility operating within the Zone. This ordinance takes a slightly different approach. It maintains the Map, but changes its name to an Area. It allows the Hearing Officer to consider whether it would be appropriate to apply APA's distancing guidelines or other degree of separation when considering Use Permits for existing facilities within the Area (except for Licensed 6 and Unders standing alone) ( §20.91A.060.D.1 -3). It also provides a guideline that directs the Hearing Officer to consider proposed uses in the Area in the context of a standard subdivision block length outside of the Nonstandard Subdivision Area. • Abatement Period. The PC recommended a 2 -year abatement period following an inventory period. This ordinance proposes a 1 -year abatement period with no inventory described in the ordinance, but with extension provisions. The PC would consider any extensions subject to specific findings ( §20.62.090.C.4.a -f). • Smoking. The PC recommended a version that said that no staff, clients, guests, or any other users of the site may smoke in an outdoor area within 15 feet of the property lines of the site. But this version says that no secondhand smoke can be detectable outside of the facility's property ( §20.91A.050.A). E. Public Comment on January 8, 2008. The chart shown as Attachment C describes (briefly) various public comments offered in person and how these comments were or were not addressed in the draft ordinance. This chart may not be a complete compendium of those public comments, but it attempts to be representative of the comments received. Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 13 VI — OTHER ISSUES BEFORE THE COUNCIL WITHIN THIS AGENDA ITEM This agenda item includes these other actions relating to group residential uses: 1. Amending Aspects of the City Council Ad Hoc Committee on Group Residential Uses. The City Council formed a three - person committee in Fall 2007 to work with special legal counsel on the draft ordinance proposed today. That task nearly completed, the Council may wish to consider adopting the proposed Resolution shown in Attachment D to change aspects of the Ad Hoc Committee to assist Special Counsel and City staff in implementing the ordinances. City staff recommends such an advisory role for the Ad Hoc Committee. 2. Sunsetting the IROC Committee. The City today has a Council- Citizens Committee on Intense Residential Occupancies (IROC). Its duties are shown in Attachment E. The Committee met three times in Spring 2007. The City staff believes that IROC duties have been completed, if not by IROC then by Special Counsel or by City staff (see Attachment E for how these duties have been completed). Therefore, the Council may wish to consider adopting the proposed Resolution shown in Attachment E and therefore sunset IROC. 3. Implementation Plan. Attachment F is City staff's concept to implement the ordinance. It attempts to summarize the resources and staffing necessary to accomplish the effective regulation of group residential uses per this ordinance. Council is welcome to offer its perspective on the Plan, which may be amended or revised based on comments and will return with any necessary budget changes associated with the Plan. 4. Proposed New Council Policy — Hearing Officers. Attachment G proposes the qualifications and manner of selection for Hearing Officers who will consider Use Permits, hear requests for time extensions of the abatement period, and consider whether to grant reasonable accommodation to aspects of the ordinance. VII — WHAT'S NEXT If the City Council adopts this ordinance on January 22nd, 2008, the ordinance's provisions would take effect 30 days after adoption (February 20th, 2008). VIII — ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Implementation of this ordinance involves several (and frequent) publicly- noticed hearings or meetings. These include: • All hearings where a Hearing Officer considers a proposed Use Permit, to extend the time for an abatement of use, or whether to reasonably accommodate a use; • All hearings where the City Council considers an appeal of a Hearing Officer's decision to deny a Use Permit, to extend the time for an abatement of use, or to grant or deny reasonable accommodation; • A public meeting at least once every other month, as City staff presents the bi- monthly update on group residential issues to the Council as a part of a regular City Council meeting; • The planned public briefing /workshop given to Hearing Officers to orient them to the issues relating to group residential uses in Newport Beach and the new ordinance. Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 14 The period of February 2008 through Summer 2008 will be the period during which existing facilities apply for and have their Use Permit applications considered. This period will include many public hearings at the Hearing Officer level. During these hearings, the process will be enhanced by the active involvement of the public, of recovery home operators, and of any party interested in the implementation of this ordinance. Without such involvement by all parties during the public hearings, one or more perspectives may not be aired nor heard in the manner deserved. IX — ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to: §15305 (Categorical Exemption Class 5 —Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) of the CEQA guidelines; and • §15061(b)(3) (Exemption from CEQA under the General Rule Exemption).

The City recognizes and agrees that the federal Fair Housing Act and the Fair Housing Act Amendments (42 U.S.C. § 3601), provides protections for persons with disabilities. The Fair Housing Act, however, does not preempt local zoning laws. The City may adopt, pursuant to its police power, zoning ordinances to protect the public health, welfare and safety that are consistent with state and federal law, including the Fair Housing Act and the Fair Housing Act Amendments. The adoption of zoning ordinances and land use planning is a fundamental function of local government. 3. The City recognizes and agrees that the Fair Housing Act and other state and federal laws (i.e. Americans with Disabilities Act), provide that individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction are deemed disabled; 4. The State of California via the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs ( "ADP') licenses residential facilities that provide nonmedical recovery, treatment and detoxification services for users of alcohol and other drugs. Such a treatment facility is defined as "any premises, place or building that provides 24 -hour residential nonmedical services to adults who are recovering from problems related to alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug misuse or abuse, and who need alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug recover treatment or detoxification services." (Health and Safety Code Section 11834.02). Residential treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons are considered a residential use of property and must be treated similarly as single - family residences in the zone they are located. These are defined in the ordinance as residential care facilities, small licensed. The City does currently treat, and proposes to continue to treat, residential care facilities, small licensed, in accordance with state law. 5. In addition to licensed residential care facilities, there are unlicensed care facilities in where persons in a residence agree to stay "clean and sober" during their residency. Such facilities are commonly known as "sober living" homes and are unlicensed, not regulated by the State of California and its residents are transitory in nature. The exact nature of these facilities, however, is not known. ADP has reported to the State Legislature that it receives on average 125 complaints a year regarding sober living homes, with many complaints indicating that unlicensed facilities are offering addiction treatment services without the required license. State law requires a license for any facility providing a service designed to promote treatment and maintain recovery from alcohol or drug problems and may include any one of the following: detoxification, group sessions, individual sessions, educational sessions, and/or alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment planning (9 CCR Section 10501(5)). Many facilities appear to be advertising such services but do not have a license. 6. Evidence has been presented that there is a high degree of transiency among persons living in group home settings and that transiency (due to the failure of an occupant to comply 11287.0005/1023046.2 with rules or the successful completion of a program) is an important element of certain group living arrangement. 7. The City has a disproportionately high number of licensed and unlicensed residential group uses serving the disabled recovering from drug or alcohol use. Specifically: (i) the City has 2.63 licensed recovery beds per thousand residents, the highest ratio of any city in Orange County; (ii) the City's contains 2.7 — 2.8% of the total population of Orange County, but is host to approximately 14.61/o of all licensed residential beds in the County; (iii) the City has at least 26 licensed residential alcohol and drug treatment and recovery facilities that provide a total of 213 licensed residential beds, and are licensed for a total occupancy of 238 individuals. Three of these facilities are treatment locations only; (iv) the City has at least 55 known unlicensed facilities, most with 6 or fewer residents; (v) combining the known number of licensed beds with an estimate of known unlicensed beds, the City has 614 total recovery beds within the city limits. The City is likely to have the highest amount of residential recover facilities in Orange County and possibly the State of California. Analysis by the City demonstrates that, based on the 2003- 2004 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the City has approximately twice the licensed bed days needed on an annual basis. 8. In conformance with privacy rights under the California Constitution, the City's Zoning Code does not limit the number of related or unrelated persons, whether or not disabled, who choose to live together as a single housekeeping unit. Single housekeeping unit is defined in the ordinance. 9. The fundamental precept of the City's Zoning Code provisions relative to residential zones is that individual dwelling units are intended for the occupancy and use of single housekeeping units. Accordingly, the City prohibits group residential uses (as defined in the proposed ordinance) such as boarding or rooming houses, dormitories, fraternities, sororities and single -room occupancy hotels in residential zoning districts in the City because such group residential uses are frequently transient and institutional in nature and differ in character and create impacts on residential neighborhoods from single house keeping units. 10. Convalescent homes, hospitals, and SRO residential hotels are also not compatible with residential areas, and no such facilities are located in residential districts in the City, and the City does not desire to permit such facilities in residential districts. 11. The California Department of Corrections has reported that approximately 70 percent of persons on parole will be returned to prison each year because they have either been convicted of new crimes or have violated the conditions of their parole. Residences housing two or more parolees may pose a danger to the safety of the community and adjacent residents, and the City does not intend to permit such uses. 12. The City has received evidence of increasing numbers of residential care facilities that do not house permanent residents and operate more like institutional and boarding housing uses than as single housekeeping units. These uses are concentrated in residential zoning districts R -1.5, R -2 and MFR.. Uses such as parolee/probationer homes, group residential uses, non - residential uses, and other uses operate as businesses in residentially zoned areas of the City and place 11287.0005/1023046.2 3 incompatible uses in residential neighborhoods, contrary to the policies in the City's Land Use Element. 13. Evidence presented to the City reveals that certain areas of the City, including West Newport and the central Balboa Peninsula have significantly higher numbers of group residential uses than other parts of the city, and than other parts of the state. City staff distributed a questionnaire asking about impacts caused by group residential uses and revealed the following concerns and secondary impacts: extensive secondhand smoke; impacts to traffic and parking; conversion of garages to other uses; slower or gridlocked transportation routes, if such routes are blocked by transit vans; more frequent deliveries (laundry, food, medicine, office goods) than is typical for a residential area; noise and traffic associated with more frequent trash collection; lack of frequent trash collection, in some instances, leading to vermin and odors; persons unwillingly removed from the facilities left `on the streets" with few resources to return home, leading to scavenging or petty theft; excessive debris, including cigarette butts, on sidewalks, in gutters, on streets; and/or illegal smoking in public places where smoking is banned, including Oceanfront Walk and beaches; excessive noise, fighting and loud offensive language. Such activity changes the residential character of the neighborhood and is not beneficial to persons in recovery as they attempt to re- integrate their new sober lifestyle into typical society. Such effects essentially 'Institutionalize" their recovery efforts as well as the neighborhood. 14. In the R -1.5, R -2 and MFR Districts near the beach, where residential care facilities are clustered, most properties are narrow, not more than 30 feet wide, with building set back only three feet from the property line, resulting in neighboring windows less than six feet away from each other. Only one arterial roadway, Balboa Boulevard, exists in the area. Other roads are only 30 feet wide, with alleys as narrow as 10 feet across. Because of these crowded conditions, and to implement the City's Land Use Element and to maintain the character of residential neighborhoods, the City does not permit group residential units, such as boarding houses, dormitories, fraternities, and sororities, to be located in residential zoning districts. As stated above, such group residential uses are frequently transient and institutional in nature and differ in character and create impacts on residential neighborhoods from single housekeeping units. 15. The City has received evidence that, in several instances, two or more licensed or unlicensed residential care programs are administered by the same owner, operator, management company or licensee, in a manner in which participants in two or more care programs participate simultaneously in any care or recovery activities commonly administered. hi such case, the use shall be subject to the regulations of the ordinance as such use evades the intent of California laws allowing facilities serving six or fewer persons in one dwelling unit to be treated as single family homes. 16. The City is concerned with the impacts of group residential uses and residential care uses on the residential character of the neighborhood and how it impacts the disabled. The loss of residential characteristics of a neighborhood in which residential care facilities serving the disabled cluster has an adverse effect on the welfare of the individuals receiving services from the facility and defeats the purpose of community -based recovery. The American Planning Association's Policy Guide on Community Residences, which supports community residences, states that community residences should be scattered throughout residential districts rather than 11287.0005/1023046.2 being concentrated on any single block or in any single neighborhood. If several residential care facilities locate next to one another, or are placed on the same block, the ability of the residential care facilities to achieve normalization and community integration would be compromised. The existing social structure of a neighborhood can accommodate no more than one or two residential care facilities on a single block. The Departments of Justice and Housing Urban Development have stated that a neighborhood composed largely of residential care facilities could adversely affect individuals with disabilities and would be inconsistent with the objective of integrating persons with disabilities into the community. The California Research Bureau similarly found that facilities should be scattered throughout residential districts, and facilities so densely clustered as to recreate an institutional environment would defeat the purpose of community- based care. 17. The City desires to maintain zoning provisions benefiting disabled persons by allowing disabled persons to live in residential districts in residential care facilities, while forbidding all other group homes in residential districts, but desires to ensure that the uses are consistent with the residential character of neighborhoods and do not recreate an institutional environment that would defeat the purpose of community -based care. The City further desires to ensure that unlicensed residential care facilities purporting to serve the disabled are operating in compliance with City, state, and federal laws and regulations. To achieve these purposes and to provide disabled persons with an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling in the City's residential zoning districts, and in recognition of the services that may be required by the disabled, the proposed ordinance allows residential care facilities, general and small unlicensed, to be located in the MFR zone with a use permit, while prohibiting all other group residential uses. Residential care facilities, small licensed, continue to be permitted in all residential districts as required by State law. Land Use Element Policy 6.2.7 provides that the City shall regulate residential and day care facilities to the maximum extent allowed by federal and state law to minimize impacts on residential neighborhoods. 18. To ensure that the City complies with federal and state law, the proposed ordinance contains standards and procedures for granting a reasonable accommodation to its zoning and land use regulations, policies and practices when needed to provide an individual with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling, where such an accommodation does not cause an undue financial or administrative burden or does not result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the City's zoning program, as those terms are defined in fair housing laws and interpretive case law. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach hereby ordains as follows: Section 1. The following definitions contained in Section 20.03.030 (Definitions) of Chapter 20.03 of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code are hereby amended to read as follows: 11287.0005/1023046.2 "Section 20.03.030 Definitions Bedroom: An enclosed space in a structure that is designed such that it could be used for sleeping purposes and meets the room dimension requirements of the most recent edition of the Uniform Building Code, is not accessed directly from the garage, and has one or more windows.

Chapter 20.62 (Nonconforming Structures and Uses) of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: "CHAPTER 20.62 NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES AND USES Sections: 20.62.010 Purpose 20.62.020 Applicability 20.62.030 Determination of Nonconformity 20.62.040 Nonconforming Structures 20.62.050 Nonconforming Parking 20.62.060 Landmark Buildings 20.62.070 Restoration of Damage or Destruction 20.62.080 Termination of Nonconforming Status 20.62.090 Abatement 20.62.100 Rights of Appeal 20.62.010 Purpose Nonconforming uses, structures, and parking are inconsistent with a coherent zoning plan and the established standards and regulations set forth in this Title. This chapter establishes procedures for the continuance or abatement of existing structures and uses that do not conform to the provisions of the Zoning Code, especially in residential zoning districts, and which may be adverse to the general welfare of persons and property and detrimental to the orderly develop- ment of the City as envisioned by the goals and policies of the General Plan. The purpose of these provisions is to: 11287.0005/1023046.2 43 A. Bring nonconforming uses and structures into conformance with the development standards set forth in the City's Zoning Code. B. Reduce the occurrence and limit the extent of nonconformance of nonconforming uses and structures, especially in residential zoning districts. C. Phase out certain nonconforming uses and structures in accordance with the abatement periods set forth below, without infringing upon the constitutional rights of property owners. 20.62.020 Applicability Uses, buildings, structures or lots that become nonconforming due to reclassification, ordinance changes, or annexations may be continued subject to the provisions of this Chapter. 20.62.030 Determination of Nonconformity A. The Planning Director shall determine the nonconformity of any use, building, structure, or lot. B. Any use found to have been lawfully established and maintained, but which does not conform with the use regulations or required conditions for the district in which it is located by reason of adoption or amendment of this code or by reason of annexation of territory to the City, shall be deemed to be a nonconforming use. A nonconforming use includes a use that was lawfully established and maintained but is conditionally permitted in the district and has not obtained a use permit. A use shall not be considered to have been "lawfully established and maintained" and is an illegal use if it was established or operated without required permits and licenses, including but not limited to permits and licenses required by any federal, state, or local government agency. C. Any structure or building that was lawfully erected, but which does not conform with the property development regulations prescribed in the regulations for the district in which the structure is located by reason of adoption or amendment of this code or by reason of annexation of territory to the City, shall be deemed to be a legal nonconforming structure. A building or structure shall not be considered to have been "lawfully erected" and is an illegal structure if it was constructed without required permits, including but not limited to permits required by any federal, state, or local government agency. D. When a use or structure does not conform with the use regulations or required conditions for the district in which it is located, the property owner or person asserting that it is a nonconforming use or a nonconforming structure has the burden to provide sufficient documentation to the Planning Director that the use or structure was lawfully established, maintained, and erected and is nonconforming by reason of adoption or amendment of this code or by reason of annexation of territory to the City. 11287.0005/1023046.2 44 E. A use or structure that was not lawfully established, maintained, or erected is contrary to the provisions of this code and the City may commence an action or proceedings for the abatement and removal of the use or structure pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 20.96. 20.62.040 Nonconforming Structures A. Maintenance and Repairs. Ordinary maintenance and repairs may be made to legal nonconforming structures. No structural alterations shall be made which would prolong the life of the supporting members of a structure, except as provided in this section. B. Interior Alterations. Changes to interior partitions or other nonstructural improvements and repairs may be made to a legal nonconforming structure, provided that the cost of the desired improvement or repair shall not exceed 50 percent of the replacement cost of the nonconforming structure, as determined by the Building Director, over any consecutive 12 month period. C. Structural Alterations. Structural elements of a legal nonconforming structure may be modified or repaired subject to the following provision: 1. Alteration of up to 25 percent of the structural elements within any 12 month period may be permitted by right. 2. Alteration of up to 50 percent of the structural elements within any 12 month period may be permitted upon the approval of a modification permit. 3. Alteration of up to 75 percent of the structural elements within any 12 month period may be permitted upon the approval of a use permit by the Planning Director, subject to the findings and provisions contained in Section 20.62.040 (F). D. Additions. Structures legally nonconforming for reasons other than for parking, open space, floor area, or building bulk, may be enlarged, extended or expanded subject to the following provisions: 1. An increase of up to 25 percent of the gross floor area within any 12 month period may be permitted by right. 2. An increase of up to 50 percent of the gross floor area within any 12 month period may be permitted upon the approval of a modification permit. 3. An increase of up to 75 percent of the gross floor area within any 12 month period may be permitted upon the approval of a use permit by the 11287.0005/1023046.2 45 Planning Director, subject to the following findings and provisions contained in Section 20.62.040 (F). No addition shall cause an increase in the structure's inconsistency with the regulations of the Zoning Code. E. Exceptions. The provisions of this section shall not apply to the following circumstances: I . Seismic Retrofits. Alterations to a structure required to comply with the minimum provisions of Chapter 15.07, "Earthquake Hazard Reduction," and California Government Code Section 8875. 2. Public Health & Safety. Structural elements of a legal nonconforming structure may be modified or repaired if the Building Director determines that such modification or repair is immediately necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or occupants of the nonconforming structure, or adjacent property and the cost does not exceed 50 percent of the replacement cost of the legal nonconforming structure, as determined by the Building Director. 3. Nonconforming Parking. Structures which are nonconforming due to off - street parking and loading requirements shall be subject to the provisions of Section 20.62.050. F. Required Findings. A use permit required for the alteration of a nonconforming structure may be approved only if the following findings are made in addition to those findings specified in Chapter 20.91. I . The cost of the improvements to be made is minor in comparison to the value of the existing nonconforming condition. 2. The cost of correcting the nonconforming condition would exceed the cost of the other alterations proposed. 3. Retention of the nonconforming condition is necessary to maintain reasonable use of the structure. 4. The alteration does not increase the structure's inconsistency with the regulations of the Zoning Code. 20.62.050 Nonconforming Parking A. Residential Uses. Where residential uses are nonconforming only because they do not conform to the off - street parking requirements of this code, the following alterations are permitted: 11287.0005/1023046.2 46 Number of Spaces a. Residential development having less than 2 parking spaces per dwelling unit: (1) Repair and maintenance, interior alterations, and structural alterations, as provided for in Section 20.62.040.A through C. .

(2) Additional rooms may be added upon the approval of a modification permit. 2. Size of Parkin¢ Spaces. a. No discretionary approvals shall be required for the alteration or expansion of buildings which are nonconforming only because amendments to this code have changed the dimensions of required parking spaces subsequent to the original construction of the building, provided that the building and any proposed addition shall conform to current provisions of this code with regard to the number of required parking spaces. b. Where the dimensions of required parking spaces do not meet provisions of Subsection A.2.a., above, or current standards, alteration of the structure may be permitted only upon the approval of a modification permit. Covered and Enclosed Parking. 11287.000511023046.2 47 Residential development having less than the required number of enclosed parking spaces: a.

Repair and maintenance; interior alterations, and structural alterations, as provided for in Section 20.62.040.A through C.. 3. Enlargement or Intensification. a. More Than 10% Increase The nonconforming structure or use may be enlarged by more than 10 percent of its original gross floor area, or onsite uses may be intensified such that code required parking would increase by more than 10 percent, in any 12 month period, only if all code required parking is provided, unless a waiver or reduction of the parking requirement is authorized by use permit approved by the Planning Director. b. Less Than 10% Increase A nonconforming structure or use may be enlarged by less than 10 percent of its original gross floor area or intensified to generate less than a 10 percent increase in code required parking, upon the provision of code required parking attributable to the enlargement or intensification. 11267.0005/1023046.2 48 4.

H. Similar Facilities. A list of addresses of all facilities similar to that for which a use permit is requested in the State of California owned or operated by the applicant(s) within the past five (5) years and whether such facilities have been found by state or local authorities to be operating in violation of state or local law. I. Operations and Management Plan. An operations and management plan to ensure compliance with state and local law. If the use permit is for a residential facility or a commercial facility that accommodates overnight stays, the operations and management plan shall also indicate the number of persons per bedroom, maximum number of occupants, typical length of stay, any guest or client rules of conduct and procedures for the disposal, if any, of medical waste. 20.91A.040. Approval, Modification or Revocation of Use Permit A Hearing Officer, as defined in Section 20.03.030, is hereby designated to approve, conditionally approve or disapprove applications for use permits, and the modification or revocation thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 20.91. Decisions of the Hearing Officer may be appealed to the City Council. Notwithstanding Section 20.95.060, the standard of review shall not be de novo and the City Council shall determine whether the findings made by the Hearing Officer are supported by substantial evidence presented during the evidentiary hearing. The City Council acting as the appellate body may sustain, reverse or modify the decision of the Hearing Officer or remand the matter for further consideration, which remand shall include either specific issues to be considered or a direction for a de novo hearing. 11287.000511023046.2 65 20.91A.050 Development and Operational Standards The following standards are applicable to uses granted a use permit under this Chapter. A. No staff, clients, guests, or any other users of the facility may smoke in an area from which the second hand smoke may be detected on any parcel other than the parcel upon which the facility is located. B. Management and Operation. The property shall be operated in compliance with applicable state and local law and in conformance with the management and operating plan and rules of conduct submitted as part of the application for a use permit or as set forth in the conditions of approval for a use permit. Each such plan shall provide a phone number by which the operator may be contacted at all times. If applicable, the permittee shall comply with the business license provisions of Title 5 of this Code. C. In order to ensure that unlicensed residential care facilities (small or general) are operating in a manner that is consistent with state and federal law and established industry standards and to ensure that operators do not have a patter or practice of operating similar facilities in violation of state or local law, the standards listed below shall apply: 1. If the facility is not be required to be licensed by the State of California, owners, managers, operators, and residents shall not provide any services onsite, which would require licensure of the facility under California law. 2. There shall be no more than two residents per bedroom plus one additional resident. Notwithstanding, upon request by the applicant for additional occupancy, the hearing officer has discretion to set occupancy limits based upon the evidence provided by the applicant that additional occupancy is appropriate at the site. In determining whether to set a different occupancy limit, the Hearing Officer shall consider the characteristics of the structure, whether there will be an impact on traffic and parking and whether the public health, safety, peace, comfort, or welfare of persons residing in the facility or adjacent to the facility will be impacted. 3. If certification specific to the type of facility is available from a governmental agency or qualified nonprofit organization, the facility shall receive such certification including, without limitation, certification by Orange County under its Adult Alcohol and Drug Sober Living Facilities Certification Program. 4.

The Planning Director shall verify such information. 1.1287.0005/1023D46.2 66 20.91A.060 Findings In addition to the findings required by Section 20.91.035, the Hearing Officer shall make the following findings before approving or conditionally approving an application for a use permit in a Residential District (Chapter 20.10) or in an area where residential uses are provided for in Planned Community Districts or Specific Plan Districts: A. The use conforms to all applicable provisions of Section 20.91A.050. B. The project includes sufficient on -site parking for the use, and traffic and transportation impacts have been mitigated to a level of insignificance. C. The property and existing structures are physically suited to accommodate the use. D. The use will be compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood, and the addition or continued maintenance of the use will not contribute to changing the residential character of the neighborhood, such as creating an overconcentration of residential care uses in the vicinity of the proposed use. In making this finding or sustaining such a finding, the Hearing Officer and/or City Council shall consider, as appropriate, the following factors: 1. The proximity of the use location to schools, parks, other residential care facilities, outlets for alcoholic beverages and any other uses which could be affected by or affect the operation of the subject use ; 2. The existence of substandard physical characteristics of the area in which the use is located such as lot widths, setbacks, narrow streets, limited available parking, short blocks, and other substandard characteristics which are pervasive in certain areas of the City of Newport Beach, including portions of West Newport, Lido Isle, Balboa Peninsula, Balboa Island, Corona Del Mar and Newport Heights, which portions were depicted on a map referred to as the Nonstandard Subdivision Area presented to the Newport Beach Planning Commission on September 20, 2007 and on file with the Director of Planning; and 3. Whether, in light of the factors applied in subsections 20.91A.D.1 and D.2, it would be appropriate to apply the American Planning Association standard of permitting one or two such uses per block. Median block lengths in different areas of Newport Beach widely range from 300 feet in the Nonstandard Subdivision Areas to as much as 1,422 feet in standard subdivision areas. The average calculable block length in much of the standard subdivision areas is 711 feet and the calculable median block length is 617 feet. The Hearing Officer shall apply the American Planning Association standard in all areas of Newport Beach in a manner which eliminates the differences in block lengths. In making this determination, the hearing officer shall be guided by average or median block lengths in standard subdivisions of the City. The Hearing Officer shall retain the 11287.0005/1023046.2 67 discretion to apply any degree of separation of uses, which he or she deems appropriate in any given case. A copy of the American Planning Association standard is on file with the Director of Planning. E. The operation of buses and vans to transport residents to and from off -site activities does not generate vehicular traffic substantially greater than that normally generated by residential activities in the surrounding area. F. Arrangements for delivery of goods are made within the hours that are compatible with and will not adversely affect the peace and quiet of neighboring properties. G. Arrangements for commercial trash collection in excess of usual residential collection are made within hours that are compatible with and will not adversely affect the peace and quiet of neighboring properties. In approving or conditionally approving an application for a use permit, the Hearing Officer may impose conditions which are suitable to assure compatibility of the proposed use with all other uses in the vicinity." Section 18 Paragraph "E" of Section 20.96.040 (Revocation of Discretionary Permits) of Chapter 20.96 (Enforcement) of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) is hereby amended to read as follows: "E. Required Findings. The person or body conducting the hearing shall revoke the permit upon making one or more of the following findings: That the permit was issued on the basis of erroneous or misleading information or misrepresentation; 2. That the applicant has made a false or misleading statement of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact in the application for the permit. 3. That the terms of conditions of approval of the permit have been violated or that other laws or regulations have been violated; 4. That there has been a discontinuance of the exercise or the entitlement granted by the permit for one hundred eighty (ISO) consecutive days," 11287.0005/1023046.2 68 Section 19. A new Chapter 20.98 entitled "Reasonable Accommodation" is hereby added to the Newport Beach Municipal Code to read as follows: "Chapter 20.98 Reasonable Accommodation Sections: 20.98.010 Purpose. 20.98.015 Review Authority. 20.98.020 Application for a Reasonable Accommodation. 20.98.025 Decision. 20.98.030 Expiration, Time Extension, Violation, Discontinuance, and Revocation. 20.98.035 Amendments. 20.98.010 Purpose In accordance with federal and state fair housing laws, it is the purpose of this Chapter to provide reasonable accommodations in the City's zoning and land use regulations, policies, and practices when needed to provide an individual with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. 20.98.015 Review Authority The Hearing Officer, as defined in Section 20.03.030, is hereby designated to approve, conditionally approve, or deny all applications for a reasonable accommodation. If the project for which the request for reasonable accommodation is made requires another discretionary permit or approval, then an applicant may request that the Hearing Officer hear the request for a reasonable accommodation at the same time as the other discretionary permit or approval. If the applicant does not request a simultaneous hearing, then the request for a reasonable accommodation shall not be heard until after a final administrative decision has been made regarding the other discretionary permit or approval. 20.98.020 Application for Reasonable Accommodation A. Aimlicant. A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability, their representative, or a developer or provider of housing for individuals with a disability. A reasonable accommodation may be approved only for the benefit of one or more individuals with a disability. 11287.0005/1023046.2 69 B. Application. An application for a reasonable accommodation from a zoning regulation, policy, or practice shall be made on a form provided by the Planning Department. No fee shall be required for a request for reasonable accommodation, but if the project requires another discretionary permit, then the prescribed fee shall be paid for all other discretionary permits. C. Other Discretionary Permits. If the project for which the request for reasonable accommodation is made requires another discretionary permit or approval, then the applicant may file the request for reasonable accommodation together with the application for the other discretionary permit or approval. The processing procedures of the discretionary permit shall govern the joint processing of both the reasonable accommodation and the discretionary permit. D. Required Submittals. In addition to materials required under other applicable provisions of this Code, an application for reasonable accommodation shall include the following: 1. Documentation that the applicant is: (i) an individual with a disability; (ii) applying on behalf of one or more individuals with a disability, or (iii) a developer or provider of housing for one or more individuals with a disability. 2. The specific exception or modification to the Zoning Code provision, policy, or practices requested by the applicant. 3. Documentation that the specific exception or modification requested by the applicant is necessary to provide one or more individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy the residence. 4. Any other information that the Planning Director reasonably concludes is necessary to determine whether the findings required by Section 20.98.025.B can be made, so long as any request for information regarding the disability of the individuals benefited complies with Fair Housing -Law protections and the privacy rights of the individuals affected. 20.98.025 Decision A. Hearinia Officer Action. The Hearing Officer shall issue a written determination to approve, conditionally approve, or deny a request for reasonable accommodation, and the modification or revocation thereof in compliance with Section 20.98.0253 The reasonable accommodation request shall be heard with, and subject to, the notice, review, approval, and appeal procedures prescribed for any other discretionary permit provided that, notwithstanding Section 20.95.060, the standard of review on appeal shall not be de novo and the City Council shall determine whether the findings made by the Hearing Officer are supported by substantial evidence presented during the evidentiary hearing. The City Council, acting as the appellate body, may sustain, reverse or modify the decision of the Hearing Officer or remand the matter for further consideration, which remand shall include specific issues to be considered or a direction for a de novo hearing. B. Fin 'n s. The written decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny a request for reasonable accommodation shall be based on the following findings, all of which are required for approval: 11287.000511023046.2 70 1. The requested accommodation is requested by or on the behalf of one or more individuals with a disability protected under the Fair Housing Laws. 2. The requested accommodation is necessary to provide one or more individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. 3. The requested accommodation will not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City as "undue financial or administrative burden" is defined in Fair Housing Laws and interpretive case law. 4. The requested accommodation will not result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the City's zoning program, as "fundamental alteration" is defined in Fair Housing Laws and interpretive case law. 5. The requested accommodation will not, tinder the specific facts of the case, result in a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or substantial physical damage to the property of others. In making these findings, the decision -maker may approve alternative reasonable accommodations which provide an equivalent level of benefit to the applicant. C. The City may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors in determining whether the requested accommodation is necessary to provide one or more individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. 1. Whether the requested accommodation will affirmatively enhance the quality of life of one or more individuals with a disability. 2. Whether the individual or individuals with a disability will be denied an equal opportunity to enjoy the housing type of their choice absent the accommodation. 3. In the case of a residential care facility, whether the requested accommodation is necessary to make facilities of a similar nature or operation economically viable in light of the particularities of the relevant market and market participants. 4. In the case of a residential care facility, whether the existing supply of facilities of a similar nature and operation in the community is sufficient to provide individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to live in a residential setting. D. The City may consider, but is not limited to, the following factors in determining whether the requested accommodation would require a fundamental alteration in the nature of the City's zoning program. Whether the requested accommodation would fundamentally alter the character of the neighborhood. 2. Whether the accommodation would result in a substantial increase in traffic or insufficient parking. 11287.0005/1023046.2 71 3. Whether granting the requested accommodation would substantially undermine any express purpose of either the City's General Plan or an applicable Specific Plan. 4. In the case of a residential care facility, whether the requested accommodation would create an institutionalized environment due to the number of and distance between facilities that are similar in nature or operation. E. Coastal Zone Properties. For housing located in the Coastal Zone, a request for reasonable accommodation under this section may be approved by the City if it is consistent with the requisite findings set forth in 20.98.025.13, with Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act of 1976, and with the Interpretative Guidelines for Coastal Planning and Permits as established by the California Coastal Commission dated February 11, 1977, and any subsequent amendments, and the Local Coastal Program. F. Rules While Decision is Pendine. While a request for reasonable accommodation is pending, all laws and regulations otherwise applicable to the property that is the subject of the request shall remain in full force and effect. G. Effective Date. No reasonable accommodation shall become effective until the decision to grant such accommodation shall have become final by reason of the expiration of time to make an appeal. In the event an appeal is filed, the reasonable accommodation shall not become effective unless and until a decision is made by the City Council on such appeal, under the provisions of Chapter 20.95. 20.98.030 Expiration, Time Extension, Violation, Discontinuance, and Revocation A. Expiration. Any reasonable accommodation approved in accordance with the terms of this Chapter shall expire within twenty -four (24) months from the effective date of approval or at an alternative time specified as a condition of approval unless: 1. A building permit has been issued and construction has commenced; 2. A certificate of occupancy has been issued; 3. The use is established; or 4. A time extension has been granted. In cases where a coastal permit is required, the time period shall not begin until the effective date of approval of the coastal permit. B. Time Extension. The Hearing Officer may approve a time extension for a reasonable accommodation for good cause for a period or periods not to exceed three years. An application for a time extension shall be made in writing to the Planning Director no less than thirty (30) days or more than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date. 11287.000511023046.2 72 C. Notice. Notice of the Hearing Officer's decision on a time extension shall be provided as specified in Section 20.91.030.C. All written decisions shall give notice of the right to appeal and to request reasonable accommodation in the appeals process as set forth in Paragraph D below. D. Appeal of Determination. A time extension for a reasonable accommodation shall be final unless appealed to the City Council within 14 calendar days of the date of mailing of the determination. An appeal shall be made in writing and shall be noticed and heard pursuant to the procedures established in Chapter 20.95 of this Code, as modified by Section 20.98.025.A. E. Violation of Terms. Any reasonable accommodation approved in accordance with the terms of this code may be revoked if any of the conditions or terms of such reasonable accommodation are violated, or if any law or ordinance is violated in connection therewith. F. Discontinuance. A reasonable accommodation shall lapse if the exercise of rights granted by it is discontinued for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days. If the persons initially occupying a residence vacate, the reasonable accommodation shall remain in effect only if the Planning Director determines that (1) the modification is physically integrated into the residential structure and cannot easily be removed or altered to comply with the Code, and (2) the accommodation is necessary to give another disabled individual an equal opportunity to enjoy the dwelling. The Planning Director may request the applicant or his or her successor -in- interest to the property to provide documentation that subsequent occupants are persons with disabilities. Failure to provide such documentation within ten (10) days of the date of a request by the City shall constitute grounds for discontinuance by the City of a previously approved reasonable accommodation. G. Revocation. Procedures for revocation shall be as prescribed by Chapter 20.96: Enforcement. 20.98.035 Amendments A request for changes in conditions of approval of a reasonable accommodation, or a change to plans that would affect a condition of approval shall be treated as a new application. The Planning Director may waive the requirement for a new application if the changes are minor, do not involve substantial alterations or addition to the plan or the conditions of approval, and are consistent with the intent of the original approval." Section 20. Paragraph "A" of Section 5.95.010 (definitions) of Chapter 5.95 (Short Term Lodging Permit" of the Newport Beach Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: 11287.0005/1023046.2 73 "A. "Lodging unit" or "unit' shall mean "dwelling unit" as that term is defined in Section 20.03.030 of this Code where the dwelling unit or residence, including the bedroom, kitchen and bath, is rented or leased to a person or group of persons living as a single housekeeping unit." Section 21. Ordinance No. 2007 -16 passed by this Council on October 17, 2007 and each and every provision contained therein hereby are repealed, provided, however, that said repeal shall not affect or excuse any violation thereof occurring prior to the effective date of this ordinance. Section 22. Severability. If any provision or clause of this ordinance or the application thereof is held unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions, clauses or applications of this ordinance which can be implemented without the invalid provision, clause or application, and it being hereby expressly hereby declared that this ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, and phrase hereof would have been prepared, proposed, approved, adopted, and/or ratified irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, and/or phrases be declared invalid or unconstitutional. Section 23. The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall attest to the passage of this Ordinance. The City Clerk shall cause the same to be published once in the official newspaper within fifteen (15) days after its adoption. This Ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach held on the 80' day of January, 2008 and adopted on the _ day of January 2008, by the following vote, to -wit: AYES, COUNCILMEMBERS NOES, COUNCILMEMBERS ABSENT, COUNCII.MEMBERS MAYOR 11287.0005/1023046.2 74 W Z O m> �- p C) F � Z C� Z Z 1- l4i, . i i A i j € r qt I ' F E .. `i h C ,4 1 < -. �� Y Y ✓ ' F p 3 ' i ih r t � 3 � W-0 sM, \l 5 M! y f r 3 81i / _..

Distancing standards are facially discriminatory per 91h Circuit Court of Appeals. There are more than 1000 beds in Newport Beach City staff believes that there are more than 500 beds but not much more. Attorney General's recent opinion not applicable to this situation RWG agrees. Dens Oberman 1,000' is more appropriate distancing between facilities See page 11 of the Staff Report. Distancing standards are facially discriminatory per 91h Circuit Court of Appeals. Not all uses should be in the coastal areas Existing uses need to be legally compliant Agreed, generally. Existing uses that have violated the Moratorium or did not apply for an FEP yet should. have are ineligible to receive a Use Permit. Time to submit UP applications should be 30 days Disagree. Nine 90 days is appropriate. Hearing Officers should be "qualified and independent" Agree — see proposed Council Policy F -26 Attachment G Hearing Officers should not be City employees Agree — see proposed Council Policy F -26 Attachment G Richards, Watson, Gershon should consider serving as Hearing Officers RWG may not be able to defend the ordinance if RWG serves as Hearing Officers. RWG's role may be better advising the City as Use Permits are considered. City should prohibit all unlicensed facilities All new unlicensed facilities limited to MFR zones. City needs consistent enforcement if these codes are adopted. Agreed. Time period for Time Extension of Abatement Period and Reasonable Accommodation should be concurrent. RWG does not believe that requiring concurrent Reasonable Accommodation requests is legal under Federal Fair Housing laws. Even if the City made these application periods concurrent, an applicant could always ask for reasonable accommodation from the concurrent application requirement, rendering the .requirement moot. Ed Dilkes City should use Code Enforcement rather than new ordinances. City believes that Code Enforcement is vital to the success of the new ordinances, and that both go hand -in -hand. There is no different impact between 6 people in recovery and 6 people in a single family house. Robert Rush Ordinance "exacerbates, not remediates" problem. I Disagree. ATTACHMENT C Summary of Public Comments (page 2 of 6) Max Liskin City is "real) close" to a good ordinance. CRC Health Group should suggest how they will be good neighbors. John McGregor As a West Santa Ana Heights resident, "grateful to artici ate in this process." What role do Fire Medics play in group residential responses? Like any home or business, a property can subscribe to the Fire Medics program, whereby most occupants of the home or business have their cost liability capped per call. The City does the same for all homes or businesses that subscribe. Craig Batley "well over 600 beds" in the community. City staff believes that there are more than 500 beds, but not much more. Bob Halley, Cary Lowe Hope to resolve an issue with legal non - conforming for property at 3355 Via Lido. Ted Bosley West Santa Ana Heights' homes went from 1 to 6 in the past few years. City notes that this jump occurred in Orange County unincorporated territory — no City ordinances applied to West SAH as this increase occurred. Bettina Gidi er "Ordinance is just a start — we're not going away." Niki Repp Need 1,000' distancing to address overconcentration on Lido Isle There are three known facilities on Lido Isle, all at the same corner near the bridge entrance. As to distancing, see discussion on page 11 of the Staff Report. Distancing standards are facial) discriminatory per 9`h Circuit Court of Appeals. Laura Curran There should be no grandfathering in of non - compliant parking standards when a new use occurs. The Hearing Officer can require adequate parking on -site. City must consistently apply arking standards across all uses, or else risk discrimination claims. ATTACHMENT C Summary of Public Comments (page 3 of 6) Text for Hearing Officer to determine parking needs is "too vague." Mustafa So lumez Can a licensed 6 and under offer treatment? Yes. "Code enforcement has not worked at Clay- Orange" Code Enforcement's case against Pacific Shores Recovery is what allowed the City to file suit in November 2006 against the owners and managers of the Clay- Orange facility. Richard Nichols City should adopt the ADP regulations just as it does the Uniform Building Code, Fire Code, etc. Disagree. There is no benefit to doing this and no need to do this. "Adopting the State Code would force all unlicensed facilities to become licensed." Not true and not a desirable outcome necessarily. Allan Beek "We are concerned." David Diamond each block could have one or more." But ordinance directs Hearing Officer to consider block lengths outside of the Nonstandard Subdivision Area, where block lengths are significantly longer. 1,000' distancing See discussion on page 11 of the Staff Report. Distancing standards are facially discriminatory r 9t" Circuit Court of Appeals. Discuss the proposed methodology for time extensions. See page 8, Section D of the Staff Report. Asked that a typographical section error be corrected. Corrected. Is the abatement period 10 years? No, it's one year or less, subject to reasonable accommodation. Willis Lon ear "Nothing in here about abatement" Abatement is in the ordinance — see Section 20.62.090 "80% don't have a license, 20% do." There is significant confusion about a city - business license versus a license from the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (ADP) to offer one of five types of treatment in a facility. City business licenses are not regulatory — they are for revenue purposes. All facilities, including rehab homes, need business licenses and must get them. But RWG has directed that operating without one is not a reason to deny a Use Permit application (the City does not block a business from ever operating in the city again if someone does not apply for a business license — ATTACHMENT C Summary of Public Comments (page 4 of 6) instead we require the person to get the license before they can continue work). "No grandfathering in" of existing uses. All existing uses are subject to new conditions within a Use Permit process. This is not grandfathering. Cynthia Koller Will the City allow homes which offer alternative sentencing to continue to operate? Parolee- probationer homes are prohibited from residential districts. However, a person who is not on parole or on probation — yet still within an alternative sentencing program — may reside in ANY home in Newport Beach. Why did the Fire Department roll without sirens to a Grou Home on 39th Street recent) ? The Fire Department always attempts to reach a call location without sirens if it is late at night to not wake people) and if it is safe to do so. Lori Morris Who will be paying for the Use Permit applications? Applicants will cover most costs, except for the cost of the Hearing Officer. Is a new tax created by this regulatory effort? No. The City is able to accommodate the cost within its General Fund and with applicant fees. What do other cities do? No other city, to our knowledge, has a process like this one. Most exclude ALL "6 and unders" from regulation and Use Permits. None that we know of have a definition of "Integral Facilities." Who will the Hearing Officers be? See Proposed Council Policy F -26 Attachment G Folllow -up on recent police call in the area involving a woman entering a household. PD's report is complete. Coran Gibson "Don't these homes have to have a license ?" See Pages 4 -5 (Concepts and Terms) of the Staff Report. If a home is not offering treatment on -site, it does not need a license from ADP. It does need a business license — an ADP license and a Business License are separate things for separate purposes. "Don't these homes have to have a medical doctor on- site?" No. Ed Van den Bossche Include qualifications for Hearing Officers See Proposed Council Policy F -26 Attachment G Clarified that person applying for an abatement period time extension will submit financial information, and that information should be reviewed by a qualified auditor. Agreed that the 1 -8-08 staff report mischaracterized Mr. Van den Bossche's comments. City can subject financial data to an auditor's review. ATTACHMENT C Summary of Public Comments (page 5 of 5) Ken Kuhlman What is the Police Department's policy for handling persons from group homes that commit crimes? Policy is the same as a crime committed by any person from any home. In some cases, immediate arrests are made. In other cases, a person is brought back to his or her residence. It is the officer's discretion. Provided a "volcomix" shirt that appeared to characterize Newport Beach Shirt did not refer to Newport Beach by name. Louise Fundenberg Thanked City Council for the ordinance. Josh Haskin Clarified on behalf of Mr. Halley that the building at 3355 Via Lido was not going to be used for rehabilitation treatment or housing. Jim Miller Nospecific comments about the ordinance. Darlene Kuhlman Why do recovery homes not have to be accessible to persons in wheelchairs if the residents are "disabled ?" See Staff Report, Page 11 -- RWG advises that case law says that ADA does not require a residential facility to accommodate persons in wheelchairs unless the persons residing there require wheelchair access. In other words, If a person's disability allows them to be fully ambulatory, the house in which they reside does not have to be compliant for non - ambulatory persons. Jan Vandersloot "This is a problem not just on the Peninsula." "Is there anything in case law that makes the APA standard legal ?" The APA, as a nationwide and respected organizatlon of professional planning officials, has put forth the only standard that RWG has seen that speaks to overconcentration of residential recovery facilities. There is no case law either way on the APA standard, which is in part why it's beneficial to propose. Why not apply the 1,000' distancing standard? See page 11 of the Staff Report. Distancing standards are facially discriminatory per 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. ATTACHMENT C Summary of Public Comments (page 6 of 6) Davis Michaghan Concerned about the effects of secondhand smoke. See Section 20.91A.050 of the ordinance. In order to get a Use Permit, the applicant must show how no secondhand smoke will leave the property. Too many homes cause a change in neighborhood Agree. character. Would a Hearing Officer deny an application if all of the Not necessarily. The Hearing Officer still must reflect Federal and State law residents on a block offered a petition requesting that protecting housing opportunities for persons who are disabled.

The Hearing Officer's job is to weigh community impacts with individuals' rights to housing.

To review and understand state and federal laws and regulations that limit cities' ability to regulate some intense residential uses, 2. To study, evaluate and educate as to the adverse impacts intense residential uses create that are contrary to and in excess of impacts traditionally expected and accepted in residential neighborhoods and how these uses can change the residential character of residential communities, 3. To research and identify solutions to the problems created by intense residential uses and determine whether a committee member or staff person is best suited to do the research, 4. To make recommendations to the City Council for changes to regulations applicable to all residential uses in a manner that preserves the residential character of our neighborhoods 5. To work with group home, sober living, and residential treatment facility operators and others to adopt and implement "best management practices" that minimize any adverse impacts of intense residential occupancies and WHEREAS, the duties described above have been accomplished or are no longer necessary to be completed via a Council- Citizens Committee as follows: 1. The City Council hired two firms to act as Special Counsel to review state and federal laws and to propose the new Group Residential Use ordinance proposed for adoption on January 22, 2008 ( "Proposed Ordinance "); 2. IROC, residents, and city staff provided (and received) information relating to adverse impacts associated with intense residential occupancies, and this information was incorporated into the Proposed Ordinance; Adoption -- Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 21 Special Counsel carefully considered all public input during public meetings and via direct communications with affected parties. Special Counsel used that input to research and identify proposed remedies to these adverse impacts, and these remedies were incorporated in to the Proposed Ordinance. 4. Special Counsel researched and identified changes to the City's codes relating to Group Residential Uses, and these have been incorporated in to the Proposed Ordinance. In large part based on what the City learned by hearing about the adverse impacts of an overconcentration of residential care facilities, the City has worked with group home, sober living, and residential treatment facility operators to adopt and implement "best management practices" that minimize adverse impacts of intense residential occupancies; now, therefore be it RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Newport Beach that it hereby rescinds Resolution 2007 -5 and therefore disbands the Council- Citizens Ad Hoc Committee on Intense Residential Occupancies effective as of the date of this Resolution.

The allocation of hours attempts to reflect the hours and costs described in Attachment F, Part I of this Implementation Plan. A — Current Organization. The below chart (Table A) shows the current organizational structure of the Code & Water Quality Enforcement Division within the City Manager's Office. The two Assistant City Managers (Sharon Wood and Dave Kiff) and the Planning Director (David Lepo) have cooperatively overseen the Division since 2003. John Kappeler is Division Manager. Code and Water Quality Enforcement Officers Cass Spence, Matt Cosylion, and Shannon Levin report directly to John Kappeler, as does Code and Water Quality Enforcement Officer Trainee Brian Contino. Water Conservation Coordinator Shane Burckle also reports to John Kappeler (this is a new position added in FY 2007 -08) that was the result of reclassifying the former Watershed and Water Quality Specialist Position. Special Projects Coordinator Jim Sinasek works part time and reports to Dave Kiff. Total non - administrative positions (described as Full Time Equivalents or "FTEs "), below the Division Manager level (excluding the Water Conservation Position) are 4.5 FTEs. Table A Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 24 B — Proposed Organizational Chart — Phases I and 11. Under the proposed organizational chart for Phases I and II (after the ordinances are adopted), staff proposes to dedicate contract planning resources equalling two positions (2.0 FTEs) for a short term (possibly through Summer 2008) as shown in Table B. As noted in the Part I of this Implementation Plan, about 1,000 hours may be needed to review the Use Permit applications associated with existing facilities. These two (2) flexible hour contract planner positions, plus a new in -house full - time position (Senior Code & Water Quality Enforcement Officer) would become the "Group Residential Uses" team and would report to Assistant City Manager Dave Kiff. The flexible contract planner positions, which may work different numbers of hours on different weeks depending upon Use Permit applications to be reviewed that week, will allow the City to meet the hourly obligations described in Part I of the Plan. During this period, FTEs in this general category will have gone from 4_5 FTEs to 7_5 FTEs. Table B Adoption — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 22, 2008 Page 25 C — Proposed Organizational Chart — Later Phases. Under the proposed organizational chart for later phases (estimated to be Fall 2008 as the ordinances are in place and workload may have met an equilibrium), staff proposes to consolidate and reduce contract resources equalling at least 1.0 FTEs and to switch that contract's emphasis to that of a Contracted Code Enforcement Officer instead of a Contract Planner. Staff also proposes to upgrade the Trainee Position to an Officer position. At the same time, the Senior Officer position, having dedicated significant time to challenging Use Permit - related code enforcement activities, would be designated as the "point person" for these issues citywide (other officers are assigned geographic territory). This will allow the City to emphasize a stated goal, that of improving oversight of Conditional Use Permits citywide. By this Phase (likely to be after June 2009), the Code Enforcement staff below the Division Manager level would have gone from 4.5 FTEs of today's (January '08) structure to 6.0 FTEs, with two positions upgrading (Officer to Senior Officer and Trainee to Officer). Staff believes that this increase will allow the Code & Water Quality Enforcement Division to effectively and flexibly meet its ongoing Use Permit compliance obligations described in the Phase III and Later Phases obligations shown on the Part I spreadsheet.

Markman and Roxanne Diaz, Special Counsel Richards, Watson, and Gershon ( "RWG ") 714- 990 -0901 orimarkmanarwglaw.com and rdiaz rwglaw.com SUBJECT: Ordinance 20.08 —_: An Ordinance Amending the Newport Beach Municipal Code Relating to Group Residential Uses and Repealing the Temporary Moratorium on the Establishment and Operation of New Residential Uses that are Transitory in Nature ISSUE: Should the City change current codes relating to Group Residential Uses taking into consideration the federal fair housing laws? RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: 1. Conduct public hearing. 2. Introduce Ordinance No. 2008 - relating to Group Residential Uses and relating to the repeal of the Temporary Moratorium on New Residential Uses that are Transitory in Nature and pass to second Reading on Tuesday, January 22, 2008. BACKGROUND: Some of Newport Beach's "villages," including West Newport and the central Balboa Peninsula have significantly higher numbers of group residential uses than other parts of the city, and than other parts of the state. As the amount of group residential facilities (residential treatment facilities, "sober living" homes, boarding houses, and care facilities) has grown, residents and Council members have been concerned that too many of these homes in certain areas causes adverse secondary affects, like: • Extensive secondhand smoke;: • Higher levels of profanity and lewd speech; • Slower or gridlocked transportation routes, if such routes are blocked by transit vans; • More .frequent deliveries (laundry, food, medicine, office goods) than is typical for a residential area; • Noise and traffic associated with more frequent trash collection; • Lack of frequent trash collection, in some instances, leading to vermin and odors; First Reading — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 8, 2008 Page 2 • Persons unwillingly removed from the facilities left "on the streets' with few resources to return home, leading to scavenging or petty theft; • Excessive debris, including cigarette butts, on sidewalks, in gutters, on streets; and/or • Illegal smoking in public places where smoking is banned, including Oceanfront Walk and beaches. Other residents worry that a block or community that has a certain number of group residential uses both: • Changes the residential character of the neighborhood; and • May not be beneficial to persons in recovery as they attempt to re- integrate their new sober lifestyle into typical society and essentially "institutionalize" their recovery efforts as well as the neighborhood. I — ABOUT NEWPORT BEACH AND TREATMENT FACILITIES The City has told the State of California via the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs ( "ADP ") . that the City believes that Newport Beach has a disproportionately high number of licensed and unlicensed residential group uses serving the disabled. Specifically, the City of Newport Beach: • Has 26 ADP - licensed residential alcohol and drug treatment and recovery facilities. Those facilities provide a total of 213 licensed residential beds, and are licensed for a total occupancy of 238 individuals (this number includes staff and residents). Three (3) of the licensed facilities do not house residents — they are treatment locations only. • Has at least 55 unlicensed facilities, most with 6 or fewer residents, and most operated by one of two large local operators (these are Sober Living by the Sea and Morningside Recovery). City staff is still verifying the existence of possible additional unlicensed facilities and the ultimate verified number could be higher. The estimated number of unlicensed beds is 373. • Combining the known number of licensed beds with an estimate of unlicensed beds, Newport Beach has about 615 total recovery beds within our city limits (now including 65 beds at six homes in West Santa Ana Heights — this area was annexed into Newport Beach effective January 1, 2008). • Has 2.63 ADP - licensed recovery beds per thousand residents, the highest ratio of any city in Orange County; • Is home to only 2.7 — 2.8% of the total population of Orange County, but is host to approximately 14.6% of all ADP - licensed residential beds in the County. Of the 34 cities in Orange County, 18 have no ADP - licensed residential beds at all, and six cities have only one or two licensed residential recovery facilities. We do not know how many unlicensed facilities each community has, because this is not a number reportable to any agency. In summary, the city is likely to have the highest amount of residential recovery facilities in Orange County and possibly the state. First Reading — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 8, 2008 Page 3 II — RECENT (UPDATED) HISTORY That noted, in recent years residents and Council members have asked that the City change the way it regulates group residential uses. The following steps, among others, have been taken towards that goal: • In January 2007, the City Council formed the CounciVCitizens Committee on Intense Residential Occupancies (IROC) which met three times. • In March 2007, the City convened a Residential Recovery Facilities Conference in Newport Beach to assist our city and other municipalities to better understand State and Federal law relating to Group Residential Uses. More than 300 persons from over 90 cities attended. • The City tested in Sacramento before the State Senate's Health Committee in support of SB 1000 (Harman, 2007) to allow localities to better regulate group residential uses. SB 1000 also would have defined "integral facilities" within State law. SB 1000 failed passage. • On April 24, 2007, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2007 -8 which, among other things, imposed a Temporary Moratorium on the establishment and operation of new group residential uses in Newport Beach. • On May 30th, 2007, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2007 -10 which extended much of the Temporary Moratorium through October 30, 2007. • After adoption of Ordinance No. 2007 -8 but prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 2007 -10, City staff distributed a questionnaire asking about impacts caused by group residential uses. . The questionnaire went to three areas of the city. • In August and September 2007, the Newport Beach Planning Commission held two public hearings on proposed a new ordinance that would regulate Group Residential Uses. The Planning Commission forwarded its recommendation on the draft ordinances to the City Council at the Commission's September 20, 2007 meeting. • In late September 2007, the City Council hired special counsel Richards Watson Gershon to review the Planning Commission's work, review previous counsel's work, to extend the moratorium, and to refine the ordinance approved by the Planning Commission for presentation to the City Council. • On October 17, 2007, City Council extended the Temporary Moratorium for twelve months. • In November 2007, the City filed lawsuits against two operators (Morningside Recovery and Pacific Shores Recovery) to stop alleged violations of the Moratorium. • In December 2007, the City successfully prosecuted its citation of a property owner during an Administrative Hearing. The property owner of 911 East Balboa claimed that she was operating a sober living facility, while the City asserted that she was illegally operating a boarding house in a residential zone. • On December 11 and December 18 2007, the City Council held public meetings to discuss the proposed new Group Residential Use ordinance which is the subject of this staff report. First Reading — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 8, 2008 Page 4 Interested readers can review other historical information, recent City actions, the Planning Commission's approved ordinance, the resolutions adopting and extending the moratorium, and related staff reports on the City's website (www. city. newport- beach.ca.us) under Group Residential Uses. III — BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT CONCEPTS AND TERMS It is important to understand the following concepts underlying this staff report and within the attached ordinance: • A "Licensed 6 and Under" is a group residential use housing six or fewer persons needing treatment and that offers one or more of five different types of rehab treatment at the house. It is against the law to offer any of the five types of treatment at an unlicensed facility. ADP is the state agency that licenses rehab facilities offering treatment. There are five (5) types of treatment that, if offered on -site, require a license according to ADP: • Detoxification • Group Counseling • One -on -One Counseling • Development of a Treatment Plan • Educational Sessions To prevent discrimination against persons in recovery and to allow residential recovery statewide, California State law (California Health and Safety Code §11834.23) deems that a city must treat a "Licensed 6 and Under" — standing alone and not networked with other facilities —just as the City treats any single family use. Newport Beach has approximately 18 "Licensed 6 and Under" facilities, with 108 recovery beds. Only one of the 18 appears to be a stand -alone facility. An "Unlicensed 6 and Under" is a home where 6 or fewer persons in the house reside and agree to stay sober during their residency. These homes are also called "sober living homes." The residents are often (but not necessarily) involved in a treatment program. Treatment is provided outside of the home they live in. None of the five types of ADP treatment can be provided on -site. Residents also might attend Alcoholics Anonymous ( "AA ") meetings, and these can be on -site. ADP does not consider AA meetings "treatment," because they typically do not involve a licensed counselor.. Unlicensed facilities are not regulated by the state and it is legal under State law to operate an unlicensed facility, provided that treatment is not provided on -site. • "Large Group Residential Uses" — with seven or more residents — can either be sober houses or treatment facilities (the latter being licensed, the former not). State and federal law allows cities to subject these larger uses to use conditions and permits. A city must also provide a resident the opportunity to request a "reasonable accommodation" (see below) from local regulations on a case by case basis. Combining the number of Unlicensed 6 and Unders with larger unlicensed facilities, Newport Beach has at least 55 of these facilities. Newport Beach has five large licensed facilities, all on the Balboa Peninsula. First Reading — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 8, 2008 Page 5 °Integral facilities" and "Integral uses." In some cases, and in many cases in Newport Beach, facility operators network — or link — two or more facilities operationally. They may house clients in one house, and treat them in another or at a commercial location. They may transport clients in a single network of vans or shuttles. Staff may go from one house to another, offering counseling or other treatment services. Clients from various houses may all attend a single large meeting together. The City believes that this type of networking makes "6 and Unders" a different (and larger) type of use than a stand -alone use. Yet often times the State licenses a handful of integrated facilities as distinctly separate 6 and Unders. The proposed City ordinance contains a definition for "integral facility" and "integral use" so that the City can determine if such facilities should be regulated as one or more larger facilities. Of the 81 known facilities in Newport Beach, only about eight (8) do not appear to operate integrally with other facilities. "Reasonable Accommodation" is a term from federal statutes and case law that requires cities to provide disabled persons with a process to attain special exceptions from local zoning or regulations in order to provide such persons with an equal opportunity to housing. For example, a disabled person denied a housing type of his or her choosing may request that the City allow them to reside in a speck location — in effect overriding the local regulation that may be applicable to the use. The proposed ordinance contains a chapter dedicated to the Reasonable Accommodation process (Chapter 20.98). "Use Permit" or "UP." A Use Permit (often used interchangeably with the term "Conditional Use Permit') is a discretionary permit that permits a certain use — like the operation of a group home, the operation of a school or the operation of a restaurant — if certain findings can be made. Such uses are typically subject to certain conditions described within a written document or permit that are often referred to as "conditions of approval." A local government can revoke the permit, after providing notice and a hearing, if the permit holder does not comply with the permit conditions. Restaurants, many commercial operations, and many more uses require a use permit in Newport Beach. Single- family residences do not require use permits; however various uses in residential districts require a use permit such as park and recreation facilities, public safety facilities, religious assembly uses, public and private schools and accessory structures and uses. "FEP" or "Federal Exception Permit." In 2004, the City adopted a regulatory scheme within the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC or Code) for group residential facilities treating seven or more disabled persons that the City refers to as the "FEP" process. The FEP was intended to provide a public hearing process similar to the Use Permit process but incorporating the Reasonable Accommodation process. Therefore, an issued FEP would contain a finding or findings that a specific use was an exception to some local laws (like Use Permits) under the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (and other laws). No FEP was ever issued by the City, nor did anyone apply for one. City staff believes that some facilities subject to the FEP told the City that they would operate as a "6 and Under," but facility managers submitted a higher resident plan to State ADP. Because the State does not check with localities to verify compliance with local zoning, ADP issued some licenses for facilities that did not have FEPs. • Nonconforming Structures and Uses. Cities change zoning regulations over time. For example, in the 1930s in Newport Beach, some properties did not have setbacks — meaning a home could be built all the way to the property line, with no side yard or back yard. When First Reading -- Group Residential Use Ordinance January 8, 2008 Page 6 the City established setbacks, those properties that didn't conform to the new setback standards were deemed to be legally built, but non - conforming to the new Code. They were "grandfathered" in many cases. The term "legal, non - conforming" is a common one. But for readers' information, the term "illegal, non - conforming" is redundant and not commonly used. If a property has construction (or a use) that was illegal at the time the use started or the time the building was constructed, it's just illegal. • "Nonstandard Subdivision Map." At its September 20, 2007 meeting, the Newport Beach Planning Commission approved a map called the Nonstandard Subdivision Map (see Attachment B). The Map (now called an Area) overlaid several neighborhoods in Newport Beach – including West Newport, the Balboa Peninsula, Balboa Island, Lido Isle, Newport Shores, and Corona del Mar – and declared that the small lot sizes, small setbacks, limited parking, narrow streets, and other characteristics of these areas made these neighborhoods "non- standard" and unlike a typical residential lot in Newport Beach. IV — ABOUT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE This staff report does not attempt to discuss past history except if the history is helpful to the context of the proposed ordinance. Nor does it attempt to provide a legal analysis or legal justification of the approach. Instead, it attempts to explain — in a broad summary and general form — the key aspects of the.proposed ordinance (provided as Attachment A) that are different from the City's current Code relating to Group Residential Uses. KEY ASPECTS OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE A. FEP and Reasonable Accommodation. All references to FEPs in the current Code are removed. As noted above, the concept of reasonable accommodation is a process by which a disabled person or a facility operator can request a reasonable accommodation – this is included as a new Chapter 20.98. The applicant fills out an application per NBMC §20.98.020. At a Public Hearing (where neighbors are notified as to the Hearing), the Hearing Officer hears the request ( §20.98.025) and considers the request based on the evidence presented. He or she makes findings to approve, conditionally approve or deny the request. The Hearing Officer's decision can be appealed to the City Council. B. Integral Facilities & Integral Uses. This ordinance defines "Integral Facilities" and "Integral Uses" (see §20.03.030). In addition to defining the terms, the proposed ordinance states that the City will consider facilities that operate integrally to be uses subject to a Use Permit and therefore regulated similarly to small unlicensed facilities or general (7 and over") facilities (see several sections, primarily the "UP -OFC" requirement within the charts in §20.10.020 and subsequent Specific Plan District areas). C. Siting of New Facilities. The proposed ordinances change current Code, which today allows various group residential uses in any zone in the City (some requiring an FEP), to the following zones as shown in Table 1 (see several sections, primarily the "— " and the "UP -OFC" notations within the charts in §20.10.020 and subsequent Specific Plan District areas): First Reading — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 8, 2008 Page 7 Table 1 Importantly, note that the prohibitions of certain group residential uses in the R -1, R -1.5, and R- 2 zones apply to new facilities. Many existing group residential facilities — indeed most if not all of the unlicensed facilities — would become "legal non-conforming" upon adoption of this ordinance. All legal, non - conforming group residential uses would immediately be subject to the Use Permit process described below, and would have to apply for a Use Permit within 90 days of the effective date of the proposed ordinance (estimated to be May 20, 2008) to continue their use. The process is described in more detail below and in the flow charts at Attachment C. D. Abatement of Existing Legal Non - Conforming Uses. The proposed ordinance (see Chapter 20.62 and specifically §20.62.090 — Abatement) directs that any operator within one of the zones shown in Table 1 where their operation is either prohibited or allowed with a Use Permit but who fails to obtain a Use Permit or to secure Reasonable Accommodation in a timely manner must cease this use as follows: Abatement. If an applicant does not apply for a Use Permit or reasonable accommodation by May 20, 2008 (assuming the ordinance becomes effective on February 20, 2008), or otherwise fails to timely obtain the Use Permit or the Reasonable Accommodation, the City will abate the use within: One (1) year from the date this ordinance becomes effective (assumed to be February 20, 2008); or The date an operator's lease expires to use the property. This is only applicable if the lease was entered into prior to December 7, 2007 ( §20.62.090.A.2.a.ii); or The date that an operator's State license expires (ADP licenses are good for up to 24 months if not revoked or if uses are unchanged). ... whichever of the above three criteria is sooner ( §20.62.090.A.2). An operator can apply to the Planning Commission for an extension of the abatement period, subject to certain findings ( §20.62.090.C.4.a -0. If seeking an extension, the applicant must apply for the extension not less than 90 days prior to the end of the abatement period ( §20.62.090.6.2). The Planning Commission's extension decision can be appealed to the City Council ( §20.62.100).

This is only applicable if the lease was entered into prior to December 7, 2007 ( §20.62.090.A.2.a.ii); or The date that an operator's State license expires (ADP licenses are good for up to 24 months if not revoked or if uses are unchanged). ... whichever of the above three criteria is sooner ( §20.62.090.A.2). An operator can apply to the Planning Commission for an extension of the abatement period, subject to certain findings ( §20.62.090.C.4.a -0. If seeking an extension, the applicant must apply for the extension not less than 90 days prior to the end of the abatement period ( §20.62.090.6.2). The Planning Commission's extension decision can be appealed to the City Council ( §20.62.100). First Reading — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 8, 2008 Page 8 E. The Use Permit Process. As noted, existing non - conforming uses and new uses in the Multi - Family Residential ( "MFR') Zone must apply for a Use Permit to remain in operation or to start operation. The Use Permit process exists today in the Code as Chapter 20.91. The proposed ordinance amends Chapter 20.91 (mostly to clean -up and remove references to the FEP) and adds a new Chapter 20.91A to address existing legal non - conforming group residential uses in residential districts. Chapter 20.91A will also cause some other legal non- conforming uses in Newport Beach's residential districts to seek a Use Permit from a Hearing Officer or be abated. he key provisions are as follows: 1 — Timing. As noted, applicants in non - conforming status have 90 days to apply for a Use Permit once these ordinances are adopted by the Council ( §20.91A.020) — this date is estimated to be May 20, 2008. 2 — Application. The ordinance requires an applicant to provide information described below. Attaining this information should ensure that any use is operated in compliance with applicable laws, that the operator has a history of operating facilities consistent with any applicable laws, and that the applicant operating under a Use Permit will operate in a manner that minimizes adverse impact on facility residents, neighbors, the community, or the character of the neighborhood and that the use conforms with established industry standards for the well -being of the facility residents (see application requirements in §20.91A.030.A, §20.91A.050 and §20.91A.060.1). Each applicant must describe: • Facility users (staff, clients, visitors, more). • Characteristics of the use (hours of operation and more). • Transportation and parking, including routes used to transport clients. • Similar uses nearby. • Proposed operations and a management plan, including data about the applicant, co- owners, partnership information, a medical waste disposal plan, and more. • Occupancy levels. • The applicant's license and permit history — including revocations or suspensions. • Similar operations owned or operated by the applicant in California within the past five years, as well as any violations of state or local law, revocations and suspensions of licenses or permits associated with any of those locations, and • A declaration that the applicant/operator has not violated any laws, regulations, or ordinances at any of its locations, or if so, to specify such violations. 3 — Notice and Hearing. A qualified Hearing Officer would be designated to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove Use Permits at a noticed public hearing, with appeal rights to the City Council ( §20.91A.040). The City must mail or deliver notice of a proposal to issue a Use Permit to a group residential use in a residential district to owners and occupants of property within 300' of the proposed use ten (10) business days prior to a public hearing on the use ( §20.91.030.C.1.a). 4 — Standards. Any Use Permit issued must adhere to these specific standards if applicable to the use ( §20.91A.050.A -F): • No secondhand smoke can be detectable outside of the property. • Operations must comply with state law, local law, the submitted management plan, including any modifications to the plan required in the Use Permit. First Reading — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 8, 2008 Page 9 • A contact name and number must be provided. • No one can provide services that require a license if they don't have a license for those services. • There shall not be more than two persons per bedroom plus one additional resident. If an applicant wants to put more than 2 persons in one or more bedrooms, the applicant must request greater occupancy. The Hearing Officer may set different occupancy limits based on structure characteristics, traffic and parking impacts, and the health, safety, and welfare of the persons residing in the facility and neighborhood. • Where certification from a responsible entity other than ADP's licensing program is available to an operator (like the County Sheriffs sober living facilities certification program), applicants must get that certification. • Every individual or entity involved in the facility's operation or ownership shall be disclosed to the City. • No owner or manager shall have any demonstrated pattern or practice of operating similar facilities in violation of law whether in or outside of Newport Beach. 5 — Applicant Signature and Accuracy of Application. The "owner of record" of the property or an authorized agent must sign the application form and must state, under penalty of perjury, that the information provided is true and correct. False statements are grounds for denial or revocation ( §20.90.030.C). 6 — Findings. In addition to the findings set forth in the provisions governing Use Permits generally, the proposed ordinance ( §20.91A.060.A -F) provides that the Hearing Officer can approve a Use Permit only if certain findings can be made: • The project has adequate parking on -site. • Traffic and transportation impacts have been mitigated to a level of insignificance. • Structures are suitable for the use. • The use will be compatible with the character of the neighborhood and will not create an over - concentration of residential care uses nearby. To make or sustain these findings, the Hearing Officer shall consider as appropriate the following factors: • How close the proposed use is to schools, parks, other group homes, and alcoholic beverage outlets (and more); and • Whether the existence of non - standard lots and other property characteristics (linking back to the Nonstandard Subdivision Area at Attachment B) made such a use inappropriate; and • Whether the Hearing Officer should deem that the American Planning Association's (APA's) standard of permitting one or two group uses per block would be appropriate in this case OR whether a greater degree of separation is appropriate ( §20.91A.060.D.1 -3). The Ordinance describes facts in Newport Beach relating to blocks, which include: • Blocks in the Nonstandard Subdivision Area can be as short as 300'. • Blocks in Newport Beach outside of the Area can be as long as 1,422'. If the Hearing Officer applies the APA standard, he or she is directed to do so in a manner that eliminates the differences in block lengths and guided by the First Reading — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 8, 2008 Page 10 median block lengths in standard subdivision areas of the city, even if the proposed facility is within the Nonstandard Subdivision Area. The Hearing Officer retains the discretion to apply ANY degree of separation of uses which he or she deems appropriate. • That vans, shuttles, or buses for transportation of clients will not generate more traffic than normally generated by residential activities nearby. • That the operations do not have goods delivery, service deliveries or commercial trash collection during hours that would cause an adverse affect to the peace and quiet of neighboring properties. NOTE: As of the release of this Staff Report, there remains discussion between City staff and Special Counsel about determining the median block length in Newport Beach to be referenced in the ordinance. If City staff has this information by Tuesday night's hearing, we will share it with the Council and with the public. At that time, the Council may want to include that median block length in the ordinance to provide that guidance to the Nearing Officer. 7 - Revocation of the Use Permit. The proposed ordinances (Section 18 of the ordinance - an amendment to §20.96.040.E) provide that that the Hearing Officer can revoke a UP (similarly to other uses subject to a UP) if these findings are made: • The permit was issued under erroneous information or misrepresentation; or • The applicant made a false or misleading statement of material fact, or omitted a material fact; or • The conditions of use or other regulations or laws have been violated; or • There has been a discontinuance of use for 180 days or more. F. Defining and Depicting a Block. The proposed ordinance ( §20.03.030) defines a block (this is relevant because of the APA reference above) as an area of land that is bounded on all sides by alleys or streets, or by streets and a shoreline, or by a cul -de -sac or similar end to a street. Table 2 shall become part of the definition, with the area in gray depicting a typical block bounded by streets and alleys: Table 2 - Depiction of a Block S t r e A a Y Street A a Y S t r e e House House S. t r a -� - !Holiset.

The proposed ordinance repeals Newport Beach Ordinance #2007 -16 (Temporary Moratorium on the Establishment and Operation of New Residential Uses that are Transitory in Nature). See previous staff reports and the Council's action of October 17, 2007 for information about the Moratorium and Ordinance #2007 -16. H. Severability Clause. Section 21 of the ordinance allows provisions of the ordinance to remain in effect if portions are held unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction. V — OTHER ISSUES WORTHY OF NOTE Over the course of 2007 and early 2008, these issues have come up in regards to group residential uses. The issues include recommendations by RWG to address them, often in a manner separate from the proposed ordinance: A. Registration. RWG has advised that requesting a group residential use to "register" would violate federal fair housing laws. All group residential uses, regardless, are required to obtain a business tax certificate even though by State law, the ADP - Licensed 6 and Unders do not have to pay the tax. The City already has access to information about ADP - Licensed 6 and Unders via the State database on licensed facilities. B. ADA. Some residents asked whether all group residential facilities must be compliant for wheelchair access under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). RWG advises that case law says that ADA does not require a residential facility to accommodate persons in wheelchairs unless the persons residing there require wheelchair access. In other words, if a person's disability allows them to be fully ambulatory, the house in which they reside does not have to be compliant for non - ambulatory persons. C. Short-Term Lodging Permits. Short-term lodging permits, addressed in the April 2007 version of the Moratorium, are not included in or addressed by this ordinance. D. The Planning Commission's Actions. Generally, RWG took what the Planning Commission (PC) passed on September 20, 2007, and reviewed it anew. Some concepts of the Planning Commission's recommendations remain; others were changed in accordance with RWG's legal recommendations. These changes include: Disbursing Locations by 1,000'. The Commission recommended a standard that said that all uses except stand -alone Licensed 6 and Unders would be distanced at least 1,000' from each other within a certain zone. The 1,000' disbursement standard has been requested repeatedly by some residents. These same residents have provided input during the public review of this ordinance. Nevertheless, the disbursement standard has been deleted due to: (a) The lack of any presented logical basis for choosing the 1,000' dispersion as a standard; (b) The existence of legal precedents which have invalidated legislation containing such a standard as constituting facial discrimination; and (c) The lack of a suggested method for applying the standard to existing uses in an equitable manner. First Reading — Group Residential Use Ordinance January 8, 2008 Page 12 The proposed ordinance provides that certain new uses (any facility operating integrally, any large Licensed facility [7 or more residents] and all unlicensed facilities) may be established in the MFR zone with a Use Permit. For existing uses, the ordinance allows the Hearing Officer to consider whether it would be appropriate to apply APA's distancing guidelines or other degree of separation when considering Use Permits for existing facilities. It does not limit his or her discretion to consider greater distances to a specific amount of feet (except for stand -alone Licensed 6 and Unders) ( §20.91A.060.D.1 -3). Unlicensed 6 and Unders in R -1.5 and R -2. The Planning Commission's recommended ordinance allowed Unlicensed 6 and Unders to be in these two zones with a use permit. This proposed ordinance excludes all new unlicensed facilities of any size from R -1.5 and R -2 (both documents exclude these uses from R -1). To cross reference the ordinance on this, see several sections, primarily the " - - "and the "UP" notations within the charts in §20.10.020 and Specific Plan District areas. An Overlay Zone. The PC recommended an "Overlay Zone" — also referred to as the Nonstandard Subdivision Map — that would have special requirements (including the distancing referred to above) for any facility operating within the Zone. This ordinance takes a slightly different approach. It maintains the Map, but changes its name to an Area. It allows the Hearing Officer to consider whether it would be Appropriate to apply APA's distancing guidelines or other degree of separation when considering Use Permits for existing facilities within the Area (except for Licensed 6 and Unders standing alone) ( §20.91A.060.D.1 -3). It also provides a guideline that directs the Hearing Officer to consider proposed uses in the Area in the context of a standard subdivision block length outside of the Nonstandard Subdivision Area. • Abatement Period. The PC recommended a 2 -year abatement period following an inventory period. This ordinance proposes a 1 -year abatement period with no inventory described in the ordinance, but with extension provisions. The PC would consider any extensions subject to specific findings ( §20.62.090.C.4.a -f). Smoking. There was a slight modification here. The PC recommended a version that said that no staff, clients, guests, or any other users of the site may smoke in an outdoor area within 15 feet of the property lines of the site. This version says that no secondhand smoke can be detectable outside of the facility's property ( §20.91A.050.A). E. Public Comment through early January, 2008. The chart shown as Attachment D describes (briefly) various public comments offered either in writing or in person and how these comments were addressed in the draft ordinance. This chart may not be a complete compendium of public comments, but it attempts to be representative of the comments received. VI — WHAT'S NEXT The Public Hearing set for January 8, 2008 is the City Council's formal introduction of the ordinance (Tt Reading "). At this meeting,.the City Council may amend the ordinance and pass it, reject it, or may pass it "as is" to 2nd Reading, set for Tuesday, January 22, 2008. First Reading -- Group Residential Use Ordinance January 8, 2008 Page 13 At 1E1 Reading, the public can offer comments. During 2nd Reading, the Council may again amend and re- introduce the ordinance OR may adopt it (again following an opportunity for public comment) in final form. If it is adopted on that date, the ordinance's provisions would take effect 30 days after adoption (February 20th, 2008). VII — ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW These ordinance changes are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to §15305 (Categorical Exemption Class 5 — Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) of the CEQA guidelines.

Notice of the time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Municipal Code; and 11287.0005/1023046.1 1 is WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings in conjunction with this Ordinance: The recitals set forth above are true and correct and hereby incorporated by reference. 2. The City recognizes and agrees that the federal Fair Housing Act and the Fair Housing Act Amendments (42 U.S.C. § 3601), provides protections for persons with disabilities. The Fair Housing Act, however, does not preempt local zoning laws. The City may adopt, pursuant to its police power, zoning ordinances to protect the public health, welfare and safety that are consistent with state and federal law, including the Fair Housing Act and the Fair Housing Act Amendments. The adoption of zoning ordinances and land use planning is a fundamental function of local government. 3. The City recognizes and agrees that the Fair Housing Act and other state and federal laws (i.e. Americans with Disabilities Act), provide that individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction are deemed disabled; 4. The State of California via the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs ( "ADP ") licenses residential facilities that provide nonmedical recovery, treatment and detoxification services for users of alcohol and other drugs. Such a treatment facility is defined as "any premises, place or building that provides 24 -hour residential nonmedical services to adults who are recovering from problems related to alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug misuse or abuse, and who need alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug recover treatment or detoxification services." (Health and Safety Code Section 11834.02). Residential treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons are considered a residential use of property and must be treated similarly as single - family residences in the zone they are located. These are defined in the ordinance as residential care facilities, small licensed. The City does currently treat, and proposes to continue to treat, residential care facilities, small licensed, in accordance with state law. 5. In addition to licensed residential care facilities, there are unlicensed care facilities in where persons in a residence agree to stay "clean and sober" during their residency. Such facilities are commonly known as "sober living" homes and are unlicensed, not regulated by the State of California and its residents are transitory in nature. The exact nature of these facilities, however, is not known. ADP has reported to the State Legislature that it receives on average 125 complaints a year regarding sober living homes, with many complaints indicating that unlicensed facilities are offering addiction treatment services without the required license. State law requires a license for any facility providing a service designed to promote treatment and maintain recovery from alcohol or drug problems and may include any one of the following: detoxification, group sessions, individual sessions, educational sessions, and/or alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment planning (9 CCR Section 10501(5)). Many facilities appear to be advertising such services but do not have a license. 6. Evidence has been presented that there is a high degree of transiency among persons living in group home settings and that transiency (due to the failure of an occupant to comply with rules or the successful completion of a program) is an important element of certain group living arrangement. 11287.0005/1023046.1 2 7. The City has a disproportionately high number of licensed and unlicensed residential group uses serving the disabled recovering from drug or alcohol use. Specifically: (i) the City has 2.63 licensed recovery beds per thousand residents, the highest ratio of any city in Orange County; (ii) the City's contains 2.7 — 2.8% of the total population of Orange County, but is host to approximately 14.6% of all licensed residential beds in the County; (iii) the City has at least 26 licensed residential alcohol and drug treatment and recovery facilities that provide a total of 213 licensed residential beds, and are licensed for a total occupancy of 238 individuals. Three of these facilities are treatment locations only; (iv) the City has at least 55 known unlicensed facilities, most with 6 or fewer residents; (v) combining the known number of licensed beds with an estimate of known unlicensed beds, the City has 614 total recovery beds within the city limits. The City is likely to have the highest amount of residential recover facilities in Orange County and possibly the State of California. Analysis by the City demonstrates that based on the 2003- 2004 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the City has approximately twice the licensed bed days needed on an annual basis. 8. In conformance with privacy rights under the California Constitution, the City's Zoning Code does not limit the number of related or unrelated persons, whether or not disabled, who choose to live together as a single housekeeping unit. Single housekeeping unit is defined in the ordinance. 9. The fundamental precept of the City's Zoning Code provisions relative to residential zones is that individual dwelling units are intended for the occupancy and use of single housekeeping units. Accordingly, the City prohibits group residential uses (as defined in the proposed ordinance) such as boarding or rooming houses, dormitories, fraternities, sororities and single -room occupancy hotels in residential zoning districts in the City because such group residential uses are frequently transient and institutional in nature and differ in character and create impacts on residential neighborhoods from single house keeping units. 10. Convalescent homes, hospitals, and SRO residential hotels are also not compatible with residential areas, and no such facilities are located in residential districts in the City, and the City does not desire to permit such facilities in residential districts. , 11. The California Department of Corrections has reported that approximately 70 percent of persons on parole will be returned to prison each year because they have either been convicted of new crimes or have violated the conditions of their parole. Residences housing two or more parolees may pose a danger to the safety of the community and adjacent residents, and the City does not intend to permit such uses. 12. The City has received evidence of increasing numbers of residential care facilities that do not house permanent residents and operate more like institutional and boarding housing uses than as single housekeeping units. These uses are concentrated in residential zoning districts R 71.5, R -2 and MFR. Uses such as parolee/probationer homes, group residential uses, non - residential uses, and other uses operate as businesses in residentially zoned areas of the City and place incompatible uses in residential neighborhoods, contrary to the policies in the City's Land Use Element. 11287.000511023046.1 3 in 13. Evidence presented to the City reveals that certain areas of the City, including West Newport and the central Balboa Peninsula have significantly higher numbers of group residential uses than other parts of the city, and than other parts of the state. City staff distributed a questionnaire asking about impacts caused by group residential uses and revealed the following concerns and secondary impacts: extensive secondhand smoke; impacts to traffic and parking; conversation of garages to other uses; slower or gridlocked transportation routes, if such routes are blocked by transit vans; more frequent deliveries (laundry, food, medicine, office goods) than is typical for a residential area; noise and traffic associated with more frequent trash collection; lack of frequent trash collection, in some instances, leading to vermin and odors; persons unwillingly removed from the facilities left "on the streets" with few resources to return home, leading to scavenging or petty theft; excessive debris, including cigarette butts, on sidewalks, in gutters, on streets; and/or illegal smoking in public places where smoking is banned, including Oceanfront Walk and beaches; excessive noise, fighting and loud offensive language. Such activity changes the residential character of the neighborhood and is not beneficial to persons in recovery as they attempt to re- integrate their new sober lifestyle into typical society. Such effects essentially "institutionalize" their recovery efforts as well as the neighborhood. 14. In the R -1.5, R -2 and MFR Districts near the beach, where residential care facilities are clustered, most properties are narrow, not more than 30 feet wide, with building set back only three feet from the property line, resulting in neighboring windows less than six feet away from each other. Only one arterial roadway, Balboa Boulevard, exists in the area. Other roads are only 30 feet wide, with alleys as narrow as 10 feet across. Because of these crowded conditions, and to implement the City's Land Use Element and to maintain the character of residential neighborhoods, the City does not permit group residential units, such as boarding houses, dormitories, fraternities, and sororities, to be located in residential zoning districts. As stated above, such group residential uses are frequently transient and institutional in nature and differ in character and create impacts on residential neighborhoods from single housekeeping units. 15. The City has received evidence that, in several instances, two or more licensed or unlicensed residential care programs are administered by the same owner, operator, management company or licensee, in a manner in which participants in two or more care programs participate simultaneously in any care or recovery activities commonly administered. In such case, the use shall be subject to the regulations of the ordinance as such use evades the intent of California laws allowing facilities serving six or fewer persons in one dwelling unit to be treated as single family homes. 16. The City is concerned with the impacts of group residential uses and residential care uses on the residential character of the neighborhood and how it impacts the disabled. The loss of residential characteristics of a neighborhood in which residential care facilities serving the disabled cluster has an adverse effect on the welfare of the individuals receiving services from the facility and defeats the purpose of community -based recovery. The American Planning Association's Policy Guide on Community Residences, which supports community residences, states that community residences should be scattered throughout residential districts rather than being concentrated on any single block or in any single neighborhood. If several residential care facilities locate next to one another, or are placed on the same block, the ability of the residential 11287.000511023046.1 4 care facilities to achieve normalization and community integration would be compromised. The existing social structure of a neighborhood can accommodate no more than one or two residential care facilities on a single block. The Departments of Justice and Housing Urban Development have stated that a neighborhood composed largely of residential care facilities could adversely affect individuals with disabilities and would be inconsistent with the objective of integrating persons with disabilities into the community. The California Research Bureau similarly found that facilities should be scattered throughout residential districts, and facilities so densely clustered as to recreate an institutional environment would defeat the purpose of community- based care. 17. The City desires to maintain zoning provisions benefiting disabled persons by allowing disabled persons to live in residential districts in residential care facilities, while forbidding all other group homes in residential districts, but desires to ensure that the uses are consistent with the residential character of neighborhoods as well as not recreating an institutional environment would defeat the purpose of community-based care. The City further desires to ensure that unlicensed residential care facilities purporting to serve the disabled are operating in compliance with City, state, and federal laws and regulations. To achieve these purposes and to provide disabled persons with an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling in the City's residential zoning districts, and in recognition of the services that may be required by the disabled, the proposed ordinance allows residential care facilities, general and small unlicensed, to be located in the MFR zone with a use permit, while prohibiting all other group residential uses. Residential care facilities, small licensed, continue to be permitted in all residential districts are required by State law. Land Use Element Policy 6.2.7 provides that the City shall regulate residential and day care facilities to the maximum extent allowed by federal and state law to minimize impacts on residential neighborhoods. 18. To ensure that the City complies with federal and state law, the proposed ordinance contains standards and procedures for granting a reasonable accommodation to its zoning and land use regulations, policies and practices when needed to provide an individual with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling, where such an accommodation does not cause an undue financial or administrative burden or does not result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the City's zoning program, as those terms are defined in fair housing laws and interpretive case law. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach hereby ordains as follows: Section 1. The following definitions contained in Section 20.03.030 (Definitions) of Chapter 20.03 of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code are hereby amended to read as follows: "Section 20.03.030 Definitions 11287.0005/1023046.1 5 Bedroom: An enclosed space in a structure that is designed such that it could be used for sleeping purposes and meets the room dimension requirements of the most recent edition of the Uniform Building Code, is not accessed directly from the garage, and has one or more windows.

A. The use conforms to all applicable provisions of Section 20.91 A.050. B. The project includes sufficient on -site parking for the use, and traffic and transportation impacts have been mitigated to a level of insignificance. C. The property and existing structures are physically suited to accommodate the use. D. The use will be compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood, and the addition or continued maintenance of the use will not contribute to changing the residential character of the neighborhood, such as creating an overconcentration of residential care uses in the vicinity of the proposed use. In making this finding or sustaining such a finding, the Hearing Officer and/or City Council shall consider, as appropriate, the following factors: 1. The proximity of the use location to schools, parks, other residential care facilities, outlets for alcoholic beverages and any other uses which could be affected by or affect the operation of the subject care facility; 2. The existence of substandard physical characteristics of the area in which the use is located such as lot widths, setbacks, narrow streets, limited available parking, short blocks, and other substandard characteristics which are pervasive in certain areas of the City of Newport Beach, including portions of West Newport, Lido Isle, Balboa Peninsula, Balboa Island, Corona Del Mar and Newport Heights, which portions were depicted on a map referred to as the Nonstandard Subdivision Area presented to the Newport Beach Planning Commission on September 20, 2007 and on file with the Director of Planning; and Whether, in light of the factors applied in subsections.20.91A Dl and D2, it would be appropriate to apply the American Planning Association standard of permitting one or two such uses per block. In recognition that median block lengths in different areas of Newport Beach widely range from 300 feet in non - standard subdivision areas to as much as 1,422 feet in standard subdivision areas, the Hearing Officer shall apply the 11287.0005/1023046.1 66 an American Planning Association standard in all areas of Newport Beach in a manner which eliminates the differences in block lengths. In making such determination, the hearing officer shall be guided by median block lengths in standard subdivisions of the City. The Hearing Officer shall retain the discretion to apply any degree of separation of uses, which he or she deems appropriate in any given case. A copy of the American Planning Association standard is on file with the Director of Planning. E. The operation of buses and vans to transport residents to and from off-site activities does not generate vehicular traffic substantially greater than that normally generated by residential activities in the surrounding area. F. Arangements for delivery of goods are made within the hours that are compatible with and will not adversely affect the peace and quiet of neighboring properties. G. Arrangements for commercial trash collection in excess of usual residential collection are made within hours that are compatible with and will not adversely affect the peace and quiet of neighboring properties. In approving or conditionally approving an application for a use permit, the Hearing Officer may impose conditions which are suitable to assure compatibility of the proposed use with all other uses in the vicinity.

Box 1768 Newport Beach, CA 92658 -89 i 5 "RECEIV D AFTER A EN A — Ef d�dTED.- 10 l 200 ,, Re: Zoning Code Amendment on Group Residential Uses Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: I represent WREC Lido Venture LLC, the owner of the property located at 3355 Via Lido in the City of Newport Beach. We are contacting you with regard to the apparently inadvertent, but extremely serious, ramifications for our property, arising from certain provisions of the proposed Zoning Code amendment dealing with regulation of group homes. We understand that this proposal will be before you for a public hearing and possible action on January 8, 2008. We are aware of the serious concerns which underlie your consideration of this amendment, and support the City's efforts to address the problems associated with group homes in residential neighborhoods. However; in seeking to regulate those uses more effectively, you are in danger of causing certain properties which have nothing to do with the problem in question to be caught up unnecessarily and unfairly in a new body of regulation, to the great detriment of the owners. The most notable example is our building at 3355 Via Lido, a three -story commercial office building at the periphery of an area which was designated as RM (Multiple Residential) in the new General Plan and which therefore is expected to be given a zoning designation of MFR (Multifamily Residential) when the zoning is brought into conformance with the General. Plan. A similar property under a different ownership, located across the street at 3366 Via Lido, is in the same situation. As properties which have been used for commercial office purposes for decades, these buildings have no conceivable connection to.the.problems the City is seeking to address with the pending code changes. Yet, simply because their locations are being redesignated for residential use, thereby making the current use non - conforming, they would be subject to a requirement that the long -time use be abated within as little as one year. They also would lose the protections of due process of law contained in the current Zoning Code, allowing such a use to continue so long as it was not found to constitute a threat to the public health, safety or welfare. WREC.NB.Corc.CV(ZoningAbate l=n 010308 Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Newport Beach January 3, 2008 Page 2 Since there is no reasonable means for converting the buildings to any other use, abatement effectively requires abandonment of the buildings, or demolition and reconstruction for a residential use. We recognize that the proposed code changes include a provision which allows a property owner to seek a permit for continuation of the use, but only under narrow conditions for which our building does not qualify. Similarly, we recognize that the proposal allows an owner to request an extension of the abatement period where the effect on their property constitutes an unconstitutional taking, but that process is subjective and discretionary, and leaves the buildings in question in a completely uncertain status in the meantime, making it effectively impossible to enter into new leases, arrange new financing or undertake capital improvements. We request, instead, that you consider maintaining the current zoning provisions pertaining to abatement of non - conforming uses, as they apply to properties such as ours. Alternatively, we request that you exempt properties such as ours in some other way from the effect of the proposed code changes, e.g., by having the amendments not apply to the multi- family residential zone or by excluding buildings currently in commercial use. If neither of those options is acceptable, we request that you commit to working with us to modify the Zoning Ordinance to allow uses such as ours in the multi - family zone, thereby eliminating our non - conforming status. That could be done in the context of the zoning conformance which the City is undertaking in conjunction with the new General Plan. These concerns were raised at the Planning Commission hearing on the proposed ordinance, and the Commissioners, as part of their recommendation to you, urged that our issue be addressed in the final version of the proposed amendment. We also have discussed the situation in detail with both Assistant City Manager David Kiff and Special Counsel James Markman, and both have indicated a desire to ameliorate our situation. We plan to attend the upcoming Council meeting, and will be pleased to discuss our concerns with you in further detail. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, /Z CDLah Cary D.

EDWARD DILKES ATTORNEY AT LAW 2443 PARK OAK DRIVE HOLLYWOOD. CALIFORNIA 80068 TELEPHONE (323) 466 -1147 January 8, 2008 Honorable Edward D. Selich, Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, California 92658 TELECOPIER: (323) 488 -8360 EMAIL: EDILKESOEARTHLINK.NET Re: Otmosition of Sober Living By The Sea, Inc. to Ordinance Regulating Recovery Uses Honorable Mayor Selich and Members of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach: I am one of the attorneys representing Sober Living By the Sea in its opposition to the ordinance before you, tonight. Since I have presented substantial testimony in the past, I will shorten my remarks by asking that my prior comments and written submissions, be incorporated into tonight's record. I am also attaching my letter and attachment. of May 30, 2007. All of its contents are just as accurate, today, as they were on May 30. In addition, I would like to clarify several factual matters that have either been misunderstood or actively misrepresented. I do so, in part to correct the record, and also to demonstrate that this entire matter is driven by fear, prejudice and irrationality. 1. Newport Beach Does Not Have "1000 beds" in Recovery Facilities One of the most persistent misrepresentations is the claim that there are "1000 recovery facility beds," on the Peninsula. The City, which has studied the issue for a year, cannot document more than a few hundred beds, many of which are not in use, but the "1000 beds" has been used so often that it is something of an urban legend. The irony is that most of the sober living facilities in Newport Beach blend in so well, that a precise count is almost impossible. That said, all evidence suggests that an upper limit of half the "1000 beds" is probable. Any number above that is more likely evidence of hysteria than reality. . 2. There Was No "Exalosion of 800 Beds" Mier 2004 The other urban myth (or misrepresentation) is the claim that "800 beds were added since 2004." In fact nothing vaguely like 800 beds has been added to Newport Beach. What did happen was that many pre - existing unlicensed facilities obtained licenses in 2005 and January 8, 2008 page 2 2006. The number of licensed beds increased, but the facilities were already in Newport Beach, and there was no net increase in the number of "beds." A check of the records of the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs demonstrates the conversion of several facilities to the more regulated status of licensure, but the total number of beds would not have changed. 3. Recovery Uses Do Not Increase Crime. In Newport Beach. Thev Reduce It In_Newnort Beach, Recovery Facilities Add Stability The most odious urban myth is that recovery facilities increase crime in Newport Beach. In fact, precisely the opposite is true: They decrease crime. As our earlier study shows, when a recovery use assumes occupancy of a building, the number of calls for service often decreases. We were able to demonstrate this at several locations. (See Point 1(b) of the Letter of May 30, 2007, attached hereto. The reason has to do with the mix of land uses in Newport Beach. Many recovery uses took occupancy in buildings that were previously used for summer and student rentals. An inordinate number of calls for police service are connected to those two land uses. In fact, if the Peninsula was not so dominated by summer and student occupancies, (there are at least 800 units and 7,100 "beds" in summer rental use, on the Peninsula) the cost of police service would decrease, significantly. When a well run recovery use displaces summer or student rental uses, the overall number of calls decreases at the subject address. Whether it is true in all communities cannot be concluded from the data in Newport Beach, but on the Peninsula, whenever a sober living or recovery use replaces a summer rental or student rental use, the number of calls diminishes quite dramatically. 4. The City has No Leval Authoritv To Regulate The "Concentration" of Sober Living Uses If there was ever a question about the City's authority to engage in the regulation it proposes in this ordinance, that question was laid to rest by an opinion of the Attorney General, which was filed on December 18, 2007 as Opinion No. 07 -601. A full copy is attached to this letter. After a thorough analysis of the issues and the law, the opinion concludes that state law has preempted this matter, and that: "...[A] city may not limit the establishment of alcoholism or drug abuse treatment facilities serving 6 or fewer persons because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet local need." [Emphasis added] January 8, 2008 page 3 The ordinance before the City Council, tonight is driven by fears, prejudice and outright misrepresentations. The environment of anger and discrimination is so pervasive that it has allowed visibly inaccurate statements about "concentration" to become gospel. In fact, none of the hysteria driving this ordinance has a shred of truth to it. This lack of substance, coupled with the AG Opinion that the City doesn't have jurisdiction, in the first place, should guide the City Council to step back before it generates a huge liability for the city and for those who foolishly misstated the facts, in the first place. Federal Housing Act Amendments ( "FHAA'; 42 U.S.C.3606 et seq.) specifically provides protected status for people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Over a period of 20 years, a body of statutory law and court decision has refined those protections. One of the most important protections that has been repeatedly upheld is the requirement that local regulation be limited to the absolute minimum. [See 42 U.S.C. 3607(b)(1)] In Newport Beach, that means that you cannot single out a small class of people in recovery and load a huge regulatory burden entirely on them. The current ordinance fails that test, by heavily regulating all such uses, even in the face of the fact that there are few, if any problems. Federal law also declares that anger and bias cannot validate an otherwise illegal act by a city. Relying on §3606 of the Fair Housing Act Amendments (42 U.S.C.3606) the 4a' Circuit concluded: "... [W]e believe that Congress intended to recognize that addiction us a disease from which, through rehabilitation efforts, a person may recover, and that an individual who makes the effort to recover should not be subject to housing discrimination based on society's accumulated fears and prejudices associated with drug addiction." United States v. Southern Management Corporation, 955 F2d 14, at 923 (4' Cir. 1992) The current environment is the classic case of such "accumulated fears and prejudices," and the City Council should not be driven by them. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Very truly yours, CEDlss C.

During its 21 -year presence in the community, there have been few complaints about its operations. Whenever there were complaints, SLBTS inmxediately responded to coma the problem. It has always maintained a "Good Neighbor Policy,,, (See Aftwh * nt N0.1, Resident Rules and Agreements) and has taken immense pride in its role in the community: Most of the recovery and sober living land uses in the City are located in West Newport, a unique area with a predominance of R -2 (Duplex) zoning and a large number of summer rental propertm, interspersed with single- family dwellings and much larger apartment buildings. All of these are legal and desirable land uses, and each provides Newport Beach with some of its character. They coexisted without any friction for many years. About a year ago, a small but vocal group began using fear and unfounded claims to mobilize the community. Sober Living By the Sea initially sought to participate in the process, bat was largely excluded An ad hoc committee was appointed to study the issue, but no members of the recovery community were appointed to participate in the committee's work. Attempts to participate, as members of the public, and to correct errors and misrepresentations, were met with accusations that SLBTS was ` 'midat n$ ' people. Ironically, the strident criticism of recovery and sober living uses has not generated more than a tiny group of supporters. Unfortunately, that group has managed to get its agenda in the limelight, and Sober Living By the Sea now finds itself in the uncomfortable position of having to Oppose the extension of a Moratorium Ordinance on recovery and sober living homes in Newport Beach. We believe that the ordinance is fauially unnecessary and that it will fail to solve the few legitimate problems that actually exist. It will also damage beneficial sober living programs that have no detectable adverse impact on the city. lVlay .3 V, LV V / page 2 There is no factual basis for the moratorium. a. Over- Concentration is not the issue, There are only about 85 sober living units in the entire City of Newport Beach. The City has 42,000 housing units within its borders, so sober living uses represent approximately .002°/8, (that is two one - thousandths of one percent) of the total number of residential uses. Even within the Peninsula, where 82 sober living uses are located, there are approximately 5,100 other residential dwelling units. This means that recovery uses represent less than 1.6% of the total number of residential occupancies on the peninsula. Ironically, there are many more summer rental uses within the Peninsula, and while they are a beneficial land use, their impact on traffic, trash, and noise is often substantial. (See Point 3, below) b. Re,oyery and sober livens land uses do not generate crime orb municipal sgf!Ay services SLBTS has intensively monitored the number of calls for police, fire and paramedic services to its facilities. A quick look at that study demonstrates that Sober ,Living By The Sea neither contributes to local crime not burdens the City's system of emergency services. First, Recovery and sober living units have fewer calls for service than the average residential unit on the same block (See Attachment No. 2, Calls to Service). On the block bounded by Balboa Boulevard, Seashore Drive and 43d Street, the average property had 12.4 calls for service, during a two-year span. At 131 and 131%, the addresses of facilities operated by Sober Living By The Sea, the number of call was 0 Zero .Other areas showed identical patterns. For example, in the 100 block of 40ffi Street, between Balboa Boulevard and Seashore Drive, SLBTS operates 4 units. They generated a total of 7 calls for service in 2 years, an average of 1.75 calls per unit. The balance of the block generated 138 calls, for an average of 6.5. calls per dwelling unit. One home generated 28 calls, by itself (See Attachment No. 2, Calls to Service and maps submitted at hearing on April 24, 2007) A second comparison is even more dramatic. When one compares the number of calls for service before SLBTS assumed management of a particular facility, with the number after it took occupancy, the data show a dramatic drop in the number of calls for service. In one location, all but two calls involved other people's cars blocking out driveway. (See Attachment No. 3, Police Services) Finally, the same result is visible from a "side by side" comparison. In one location, a 52 unit building at 5515 River Avenue, SLBTS rents and operates only 5 units. At those 5 units, only one call for service occurred in the last two years. The balance of the building had 24 Calls. (See Attachment No. 3, Police Services) By every objective measure, recovery and sober living Land uses do not generate criminal activity, in excess of longer -term single- family occupancies. may :3u, page 3 C. There is no issue involving solid waste generation Apparently, SLBTS facilities generate exactly the same amount of trash as their neighbors, because its facilities have exactly the same trash pick-up fi+equencies. From September through May, trash is picked up once each week. During the summer months of dune, July and August, like all residences on the Peninsula, trash is picked up twice a week. The increase in the summer trash load is related to the arrival of the summer rental Population. As the overall population rises, so does the generation of solid waste. The increase bears absolutely no connection to the recovery and sober living facilities operated by Sober Living By The Sea. d. There is no issue of noise Perhaps the most persistent complaint is that sober living uses are "noisy." Again, a look at the record demonstrates that there is no substance to these complaints. Even the staff report states that the majority of recovery facilities are "comparatively quiet at night." (See Staff Report, pg. 7 0£70) In its 21 years in Newport Beach, SLBTS has > been cited, fined or otherwise sanctioned for noise or any other disturbance. In the rare instance where a resident becomes noisy or disturbing, managers are required to deal with the problem swiftly, and they do. As a matter of operational policy, SLBTS residents have a curfew of 10 pare., on week days and 11 p.m. on weekends. Compliance with this rule is a requirement for each resident, as is compliance with specific rules on noise and personal conduct. (See Attachment No.1) e. As a practical matter, it is virtually impossible to find anything to distinguish a Sober Living By The Sea facility from any other well- mamtsmed residence on the peninsula. When a unit is rented, it is completely inspected, inside and out. Ongoing maintenance of SLBTS properties exceeds all imaginable standards. One employee spends his workday visiting each facility and assuring that each one is clean and well kepi. Trash, cigarette bulls and other unsightly items are promptly disposed of Several residents have said, "We don't know where your places are located." Sober Living By the Sea takes that as a compliment. Its operations fit into the community and are indistinguishable from other residential uses on the Penmsula.n 1 hrdeed, the inebr' i[y to distinguish sober living facilities from other, suaunnding residential bmlduW caused a serious overestinumnof the nab of sober living uses 11m factest most of them do not stick out madeit difficult to know wt ich budding was housed peo* in recovery and which housed other residents. May 3ti, 2007 page 4 Each SLBTS unit has one car on site, which is used only by the resident supervisor. All participants are issued bicycles, and for the few who cannot use a bike, there is a system of vans that provide pick up and drop off services. 2 The vans are also used to provide transportation on days when the weather makes bicycles impractical. By any measure, such a system generates a fraction of the vehicle trips generated by other single - family. "Smoking" is another of the persistent complaints, although there is no facial basis for this concern. SLBTS prohibits smoking inside any of its buildings. (See Attachment No. 1). For residents who smoke, containers for cigarette butts are provided outside m the yard. As previously mentioned, one employe is specifically employed to find and dispose of cigarette butts and other trash on or adjacent to SLBTS facilities. There has never been a fire at any facility operated by SLBTS, and the incident described in the staff report (the truth of which we cannot confirm or deny) regards a 29- unit facility not owned or operated by Sober Living By The Sea However, if the incident actually occurred, it suggests that standard code enforcement would be appropriate, not a probibition of all recovery and sober living uses. Smoking on the beach is already prohibited by law, and could be enforced with normal citations and fines. There is no evidence that smoking at the beach is related to any of the sober living facilities in the City. h Fear that the neighborhood will be ovearnn with criminals and sex offenders is another of the completely irrational claims that has been repeatedly made In fact, Sober Living By the Sea does not accept participants who are convicted of sexual offenses or serious crimes involving violence. None of the residents in SLBTS programs are on parole. Most are indistinguishable from the general population of West Newport Beach They are well educated, and many are employed or in school. They are people committed to restoring themselves to a life that is free from drugs and alcohol. (See Attachment No. 1) 1 Some redden, in a modified program for clients who are locally employed, use ibeir automobiles forage Bulled purpme of getting to and from work lbeircars are parked on she or nearby. The number of such participants averages about 10 people, and is rarely more than 10% of the total number of all SLBTS residents. i May 30, 2007 page 5 Approximately 10% have been convicted of, or diverted from minor, non- violent charges related to their prior drug use. Their treatment is a condition of their continued freedom, and it provides a powerful motivation for them to take their rehabilitation seriously. Relatively few properties near sober living facilities have sold in the last few years. Of the few that have, there is no evidence that proximity to a sober living facility had any effect on the value of the property being sold. (See Attachment No. 4, Sales Comparisons) 2. The current demand for a Mmatoriim. and for remilation is comuI v unfounded The current climate in Newport Beach is exactly what the Fourth Circuit meant when it concluded that,' a person who makes the effort to recover from [from drug or alcohol abuse] should not be subject to }musing discrimination based on society's `accumulated fears and prejudices' associated with drug addiction." U.S. v. Southern Management. Coro. 955 F. 2d 914 (C.A. 0 Cir. 1992) Those "accumulated fears and prejudices" are fueling the debate in Newport Beach. At the March 29, 2007 meeting of the Ad Hoc Committee on Intense Residential Occupancies (the' IROC Committee") there was an outpouring of recrimination against "druggies. " One resident pointedly admitted that there were no problems with sober living uses, "except their existence." The testimony before IROC, the following month, was filled with racial remarks that have no place in public discourse. The search for information has also been fraught with outright misinformation. At the Mare 29 IROC meeting, me resident described the existence of a "gang house," complete with gang members 'Sumping out" of gang Iife. The only problem with this testimony is --- no such house could be found by the Newport Beach Police Department or by our own investigation. Despite all of this rabble rousing, very few people have decided to join the demand for regulation, and the current clamor remains in the hands of a very small number of people. The best evidence of that fact comes from the responses to the City's own questionnai Although 400 questionnaires were given out, only 47 were returned. 12 of those carne from Balboa Island, where there aren't any sober living facilities, at all. Whatever fears those residents had to express could not have been based on anything objective or real. The remaining 35 represent the response of . 0004% (four ten thousandths of one percent) of the city's population. Not much of a groundswell. May 30, 2007 page 6 3. West Newport Beach is a unique area. Most of it is not zoned or developed for single - family occupancy. The overwhelming land use is R -2 (Duplex), with an equal mix of larger, multi -family buildings and single- family residences. 801 of those units, nearly one quarter of the total number of dwelling units in the area, are licensed for summer rental occupancies, aggregating a total of 5,739 beds. A quid review of those licenses demonstrates the discriminatory nature of the moratorium and the proposed regulatory scheme, because the aveaaEe summer rental permit license authorizes 7.16 beds, substantially more than the 6 occupants contemplated by state law for sober living uses. A single owner may operate any number of summer rental units, and some own dozens. Even if they are centrally managed, they are not treated as a group. (See Attachment No 5, Table of Summer Rental Permits) Clarming to base regulations of recovery and sober living uses on issues such as trash generation or smoking further underlines the discriminatory impact of the proposed regulations. The same impacts result from other residential occaipaucies. To ascribe those conditions solely to recovery and sober living land uses is simply wrong. 4. There is no need far a Moratmiu and one cannot be le=W snared The primary requirement for a Moratorium Ordinance is a pressing proble ni that can only be solved by immediate abatement. The problem must need to be held in abeyance while long-term solutions are studied and devised. In the present case, there may be a need for focused code enforcement, directed at a few problem properties, but there is no reason for broad regulation. Many of the effects being blamed on recovery and sober living uses are actually the result of summer rental or even long -bean rental properties. These is nothing " bad" about either of those uses. Leasing Property for recreational uses is a legitimate and legal use of property, and has long, historical roots in Newport Beach. So doves the use of property for recovery and sober living uses. All of these uses generate substantial social benefit and have impacts on surrounding properties that can be managed by traditional code enforcement and other sanctions directed against specific, problem properties Given the overwhelming lack of evidence that any problems emanate from recovery and sober living uses, the enactment of a moratorium is unwarranted. Under such circumstances, the findings required for the adoption of a long -team moratorium ordinance cannot be made, in good faith. In adopting the proposed moratorium, the City will be subjecting itself to substantial liability far interference with legitimate activities and property rights. To make matters worse, the rights involved are ones that are specifically protected by state and federal laws. may :w, 2w/ page 7 5. Conclusion For the reasons sex forth, Sober Living By the Sea urges that the proposed moratorium be allowed to expire and that the City devote its efforts to code enforcement and other devices that hold promise for dealing with the very few problems that actually exist. We thank you for your patience in this matter, and remain available to answer any questions you have about the operations of Sober Living By The Sea or the recovery industry, as a whole.

GONOT, Deputy Attorney General No. 07 -601 Office of the Attorney General, State of California COUNSEL Filed December 18, 2007 THE HONORABLE TOM HARMAN, MEMBER OF THE STATE SENATE, has requested an opinion on the following questions: 1. May the Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs deny an application for licensure or suspend or revoke the license of an alcoholism or drug abuse treatment facility because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need 2. May a city limit the establishment of alcoholism or drug abuse treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need CONCLUSIONS L The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs may not deny an application for licensure or suspend or revoke the license of an alcoholism or drug abuse treatment facility because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need. 2. A city may not limit the establishment of alcoholism or drug abuse treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need. ANALYSIS The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (Health & Saf. Code, § 11750; "Department ")[FOOTNOTE 11 licenses residential facilities that provide nonmedical recovery, treatment, and detoxification services for users of alcohol and other drugs. ( §§ 11834.01 - 11834.50; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 9, §§ 10500 - 10631; 76 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 173, 175 (1993).) Such a treatment facility is defined as "any premises, place, or building that provides 24 -hour residential nonmedical services to adults who are recovering from problems related to alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug misuse or abuse, and who need alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug recovery treatment or detoxification services." (§ 11834.02, subd. (a); see Cal. Code Regs., tit. 9, § 10501.) These treatment facilities are different from residential care facilities that are subject to the California Community Care Facilities Act ( §§ 1500 - 1567.8) and from facilities that simply provide a cooperative living arrangement for persons recovering from alcohol and other drug problems. The latter "sober living environments" are not subject to licensing by the Department. We are asked to determine whether the Department has the authority to deny an application for operating a treatment facility because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need. Additionally, may a city limit the number of treatment facilities within its jurisdiction to prevent an overconcentration of such facilities 1. Department's Authority to Deny Licenses With respect to the scope of the Department's authority to limit the licensing of treatment facilities, we will assume that the extent of the local need is ascertainable through an appropriate fact - finding process, and the determination will be based upon the incidence of alcoholism and drug abuse and the percentage of substance abusers seeking treatment in the community. What authority does the Department have to prevent an overconcentratlon of treatment facilities in a particular locality . Section 11834.01 states In part: The department has the sole authority in state government to license adult alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities. (a) In administering this chapter, the department shall issue new licenses for a period of two years to those programs that meet the criteria for licensure set forth In Section 11834.03. Section 11834.03, in turn, provides: Any person or entity applying for licensure shall file with the department, on forms provided by the department, all of the following: (a) A completed written application for licensure. (b) A fire clearance approved by the State Fire Marshal or local fire enforcement officer. (c) A licensure fee, established in accordance with Chapter 7.3 (commencing with Section 11833.01). Accordingly, each licensure applicant must complete an application form, obtain a fire clearance, and pay a fee to the Department. (See also § 11834.09, subd. (b).) Sections 11834.01 and 11834.03 provide no authority for the Department to deny a license because the community already has an overconcentration of such facilities. The Department is also authorized to determine "that the prospective licensee can comply with this chapter and regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter" before issuing a license. (§ 11834.09, subd. (a).) Subdivision (c) of section 11834.09 states: Failure of the prospective licensee to demonstrate the ability to comply with this chapter or the regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter shall result in departmental denial of the prospective licensee's application for licensure. Thus, a prospective licensee may be denied a license if he or she fails to demonstrate "the ability to comply" with sections 11834.01- 11834.50 and the Department's regulations. However, neither the statutory scheme nor the implementing regulations make any reference to a community's current level of need for treatment facilities or to the sufficiency of existing facilities to meet the local need. No basis for the denial of an application is given In section 11834.09 other than the Inability of the applicant to comply with the requirements fnr operating a facility. Next, we examine the Department's authority to suspend, revoke, or deny a license contained in subdivision (a) of section 11834.36, which states: The director may suspend or revoke any license issued under this chapter, or deny an application for licensure, for extension of the licensing period, or to modify the terms and conditions of a license, upon any of the following grounds and in the manner provided in this chapter: (1) Violation by the licensee of any provision of this chapter or regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter. (2) Repeated violation by the licensee of any of the provisions of this chapter or regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter. (3) Aiding, abetting, or permitting the violation of, or any repeated violation of, any of the provisions described In paragraph (1) or (2). (4) Conduct in the operation of an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility that is inimical to the health, morals, welfare, or safety of either an individual In, or receiving services from, the facility or to the people of the State of California. (5) Misrepresentation of any material fact in obtaining the alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility license. (6) Failure to pay any civil penalties assessed by the department. All of the grounds specified In section 11834.36 involve the conduct of the license holder or applicant. None focuses upon whether the community already has a sufficient number of facilities to meet the local need. We recognize that a community's need for treatment facilities is mentioned in section 11834.20: "The Legislature hereby declares that it Is the policy of this state that each county and city shall permit and encourage the development of sufficient numbers and types of alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities as are commensurate with local need." However, this reference is only an expression of legislative Intent that cities should encourage development of treatment facilities, and cannot be reasonably read to Impose a limit on such development. The affirmative policy articulated by the Legislature In section 11834.20 does not afford a basis for denying a license where the applicant meets all basic qualifications for the license. As stated in Ferdig v. State Personnel Board (1969) 71 Cal.2d 96, 103 -104: "It is settled principle that administrative agencies have only such powers as have been conferred upon them, expressly or by implication, by constitution or statute. [Citations.] An administrative agency, therefore, must act within the powers conferred upon it by law and may not validly act in excess of such powers." (See 76 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 11, 15-16 (1993).) And, of course, we are not at liberty to add, in the guise of statutory interpretation, an additional licensing requirement. (See 89 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 159, 165; 83 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen, 111, 116 (2000); 82 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 246, 248 (1999); 78 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 137, 142 (1995).) Here, the Legislature has not given the Department any authority to consider the number of treatment facllltles in a particular area when granting, suspending, or revoking a license to operate a treatment facility. Finally, we note that the California Community Care Facilities Act, referenced above, requires the Department of Social Services to take "overconcentration" of residential care facilities Into account when making its licensing decisions for such facilities. (§ 1520.5.) If the Legislature wishes to grant a similar authorization when the Department licenses the treatment facilities in question, it knows how to do so. (See Safer v. Superior Court (1975) 15 Cal.3d 230, 237 -238; Board of Trustees v. Judge (1975) 50 Cal.App.3d 920, 927; 73 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 13, 23 (1990).) We conclude in answer to the first question that the Department may not deny an application for Ilcensure or suspend or revoke the license of a treatment facility because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need. 2. City's Authority to Limit Treatment Facilities The second question concerns whether a city may limit the number of treatment facilities serving six or fewer. persons within its boundaries. For example, may a city enact an ordinance requiring that In addition to licensure by the Department, the prospective operator of a treatment facility must obtain the city's approval if the facility will be located within 500 feet of an existing treatment facility? We conclude that it may not. The Constitution provides that "[a] county or city may make and enforce within Its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws." (Cal. Const., art. XI, § 7.) The rules to be applied in determining whether a city's ordinances would conflict with general laws were recently summarized in Caiffamia Veterinary Medical Assn. v. City of West Hollywood (2007) 152 Cal.App.4th 536, 548. The California Constitution reserves to a county or city the right to "make and enforce within its limits all local police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws." [Citation; footnote omitted.] "'If otherwise valid local legislation conflicts with state law, it is preempted by such law and is void.'" [Citations.] A prohibited conflict exists if the local ordinance duplicates or contradicts general law or "enters an area either expressly or impliedly fully occupied by general law." [Citations.] "'[I]t is well settled that local regulation Is invalid if it attempts to impose additional requirements In a field which is fully occupied by statute.' [Citation.]'[L]ocal legislation enters an area that Is "fully occupied" by general law when the Legislature has expressly manifested its intent to "fully occupy" the area [citation], or when It has impliedly done so In light of one of the following Indicia of intent: "(1) the subject matter has been so fully and completely covered by general law as to clearly indicate that it has become exclusively a matter of state concern; (2) the subject matter has been partially covered by general law couched in such terms as to Indicate clearly that a paramount state concern will not tolerate further or additional local action; or (3) the subject matter has been partially covered by general law, and the subject Is of such a nature that the adverse effect of a local ordinance on the transient citizens of the state outweighs the possible benefit to the" locality [citations].' [Citation:]" [Citation.] With these principles in mind, we return to the provisions of sections 11834.01- 11834.50. Two statutes are relevant to our inquiry. First, section 11834.22 provides that treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons may not be made subject to any business taxes, local registration fees, use permit fees, or other fees to which ordinary single- family dwellings are not subject. Second, and even more in point, section 11834.23 states with respect to local zoning ordinances governing such facilities: Whether or not unrelated persons are living together, an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility which serves six or fewer persons shall be considered a residential use of property for the purposes of this article. In addition, the residents and operators of such a facility shall be considered a family for the purposes of any law or zoning ordinance which relates to the residential use of property pursuant to this article. For the purpose of all local ordinances, an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility which serves six or fewer persons shall not be Included within the definition of a boarding house, rooming house, institution or home for the care of minors, the aged, or the mentally infirm, foster care home, guest home, rest home, sanitarium, mental hygiene home, or other similar term which implies that the alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment home is a business run for profit or differs in any other way from a single- family residence. This section shall not be construed to forbid any city, county, or other local public entity from placing restrictions on building heights, setback, lot dimensions, or placement of signs of an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility which serves six or fewer persons as long as the restrictions are identical to those applied to other singie- family residences. This section shall not be construed to forbid the application to an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility of any local ordinance which deals with health and safety, building standards, environmental impact standards, or any other matter within the jurisdiction of a local public entity. However, the ordinance shall not distinguish alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities which serve six or fewer persons from other single - family dwellings or distinguish residents of alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities from persons who reside in other single - family dwellings. No conditional use permit, zoning variance, or other zoning clearance shall be required of an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility which serves six or fewer persons that Is not required of a single - family residence in the same zone. Accordingly, a city may not make Its land use decisions in a manner that will disadvantage treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons when compared to decisions applicable to ordinary single - family residences.- The hypothetical ordinance described above would allow the city to ban the operation of a new treatment facility within 500 feet of an existing facility. Such an ordinance would be In conflict with section 11834.23, and thus be preempted by state law. (See, e.g., Doe v. City and County of San Francisco (1982) 136 Cal.App.3d 509 [local law may not impose additional licensing requirements when state law specifically prohibits such requirements].) Would our analysis and conclusion be different In the case of a charter city? A charter city, In contrast to a general law city, is not subject to state statutes involving "municipal affairs." (Cal. Const., art. XI, § 5, subd. (a); Sherwin- Williams Co. v. City of Los Angeles (1993) 4 Cal.4th 893, 897, fn. i; California Veterinary Medical Assn. v. City of West Hollywood, supra, 152 Cal.App.4th at p. 548, fn. 6.) "[T]his constitutional 'home rule' doctrine reserves to charter cities the right to adopt and enforce ordinances that conflict with general state laws, provided the subject of the regulation is a 'municipal affair' rather than one of 'statewide concern.' [Citation.]" (Traders Sports, Inc. v. City of San Leandro (2001) 93 Cal.App.4th 37, 45.) Here, section 11834.23 has been made applicable to all cities, both general law and charter (§ 11834.20), and forbids the use of zoning or other regulatory powers to treat small treatment facilities differently from other residential dwellings ( §§ 11834.22- 11834.24). Section 11834.23 addresses a matter of "statewide concern" because it seeks to ensure that persons throughout the state who are recovering from problems related to alcohol or other drugs will have access to residential settings that provide treatment. "[I]n articulating the test for preemption, the Supreme Court was concerned with ensuring that a state law does not Infringe legitimate municipal interests other than that which the state law purports to regulate as a statewide Interest." (City of Watsonville v. State Department of Health Services (2005) 133 Cal.App.4th 875, 889 [state law requiring fluoridation of local water supplies narrowly tailored to state's interest in improving dental health], italics added.) Here, the state law in question has the precise aim of regulating local zoning. requirements in pursuance of a statewide Interest. The Legislature clearly Intended to prevent local governments from applying any zoning clearances to small treatment facilities by mandating that they be treated the same as other single family residences for zoning purposes. The Legislature may properly look to the statewide need, rather than the local need, to overcome a charter city's municipal interests. We conclude In answer to the second question that a city may not limit the establishment of alcoholism or drug abuse treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need. * * * * *1.

GONOT, Deputy Attorney General No. 07 -601 Office of the Attorney General, State of California COUNSEL Filed December 18, 2007 THE HONORABLE TOM HARMAN, MEMBER OF THE STATE SENATE, has requested an opinion on the following questions: 1. May the Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs deny an application for licensure or suspend or revoke the license of an alcoholism or drug abuse treatment facility because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need 2. May a city limit the establishment of alcoholism or drug abuse treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons because the particular community already has more than sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need CONCLUSIONS 1. The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs may not deny an application for ][censure or suspend or revoke the license of an alcoholism or drug abuse treatment facility because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need. 2. A city may not limit the establishment of alcoholism or drug abuse treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need. ANALYSIS The Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (Health & Saf. Code, § 11750; "Department ")[FOOTNOTE 11 licenses residential facilities that provide nonmedical recovery, treatment, and detoxification services for users of alcohol and other drugs. ( §§ 11834.01 - 11834.50; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 9, §§ 10500 - 10631; 76 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 173, 175 (1993).) Such a treatment facility is defined as "any premises, place, or building that provides 24 -hour residential nonmedical services to adults who are recovering from problems related to alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug misuse or abuse, and who need alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug recovery treatment or detoxification services." (§ 11834.02, subd. (a); see Cal. Code Regs., tit. 9, § 10501.) These treatment facilities are different from residential care facilities that are subject to the California Community Care Facilities Act ( §§ 1500- 1567.8) and from facilities that simply provide a cooperative living arrangement for persons recovering from alcohol and other drug problems. The latter "sober living environments" are not subject to licensing by the Department. We are asked to determine whether the Department has the authority to deny an application for operating a treatment facility because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need. Additionally, may a city limit the number of treatment facilities within its jurisdiction to prevent an overconcentration of such facilities 1. Department's Authority to Deny Licenses With respect to the scope of the Department's authority to limit the licensing of treatment facilities, we will assume that the extent of the local need is ascertainable through an appropriate fact- finding process, and the determination will be based upon the incidence of alcoholism and drug abuse and the percentage of substance abusers seeking treatment in the community. What authority does the Department have to prevent an overconcentration of treatment facilities in a particular locality . Section 11834.01 states in part: The department has the sole authority in state government to license adult alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities. (a) In administering this chapter, the department shall issue new licenses for a period of two years to those programs that meet the criteria for licensure set forth In Section 11834.03. Section 11834.03, in turn, provides: Any person or entity applying for licensure shall file with the department, on forms provided by the department, all of the following: (a) A completed written application for licensure. (b) A fire clearance approved by the State Fire Marshal or local fire enforcement officer. (c) A licensure fee, established In accordance with Chapter 7.3 (commencing with Section 11833.01). Accordingly, each licensure applicant must complete an application form, obtain a fire clearance, and pay a fee to the Department. (See also § 11834.09, subd. (b).) Sections 11834.01 and 11834.03 provide no authority for the Department to deny a license because the community already has an overconcentration of such facilities. . The department is also authorized to determine "that the prospective licensee can comply with this chapter and regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter" before issuing a license. (§ 11834.09, subd. (a).) Subdivision (c) of section 11834.09 states: Failure of the prospective licensee to demonstrate the ability to comply with this chapter or the regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter shall result In departmental denial of the prospective licensee's application for licensure. Thus, a prospective licensee may be denied a license if he or she fails to demonstrate "the ability to comply" with sections 11834.01- 11834.50 and the Department's regulations. However, neither the statutory scheme nor the Implementing regulations make any reference to a community's current level of need for treatment facilities or to the sufficiency of existing facilities to meet the local need. No basis for the denial of an application Is given in section 11834.09 other than the inability of the applicant to comply with the requirements for operating a facility. Next, we examine the Department's authority to suspend, revoke, or deny a license contained In subdivision (a) of section 11834.36, which states: The director may suspend or revoke any license issued under this chapter, or deny an application for licensure, for extension of the licensing period, or to modify the terms and conditions of a license, upon any of the following grounds and in the manner provided.in this chapter: (1) Violation by the licensee of any provision of this chapter or regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter. (2) Repeated violation by the licensee of any of the provisions of this chapter or regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter. (3) Aiding, abetting, or permitting the violation of, or any repeated violation of, any of the provisions described In paragraph (1) or (2). (4) Conduct in the operation of an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility that is Inimical to the health, morals, welfare, or safety of either an individual in, or receiving services from, the facility or to the people of the State of California. (5) Misrepresentation of any material fact In obtaining the alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility license. . (6) Failure to pay any civil penalties assessed by the department. All of the grounds specified In section 11834.36 involve the conduct of the license holder or applicant. None focuses upon whether the community already has a sufficient number of facilities to meet the local need. We recognize that a community's need for treatment facilities is mentioned in section 11834.20: "The Legislature hereby declares that It is the policy of this state that each county and city shall permit and encourage the development of sufficient numbers and types of alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities as are commensurate with local need." However, this reference is only an expression of legislative intent that cities should encourage development of treatment facilities, and cannot be reasonably read to impose a limit on such development. The affirmative policy articulated by the Legislature in section 11834.20 does not afford a basis for denying a license where the applicant meets all basic qualifications for the license. As stated in Ferdlg v. State Personnel Board (1969) 71 Cal. 2d 96, 103 -104: "It is settled principle that administrative agencies have only such powers as have been conferred upon them, expressly or by Implication, by constitution or statute. [Citations.] An administrative agency, therefore, must act within the powers conferred upon it by law and may not validly act in excess of such powers." (See 76 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 11, 15 -16 (1993).) And, of course, we are not at liberty to add, in the guise of statutory interpretation, an additional licensing requirement. (See 89 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 159, 165; 83 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 111, 116 (2000); 82 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 246, 248 (1999); 78 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 137, 142 (1995).) Here,.the Legislature has not given the Department any authority to consider the number of treatment facilities in a particular area when granting, suspending, or revoking a license to operate a treatment facility. Finally, we note that the Califomla Community Care Facilities Act, referenced above, requires the Department of Social Services to take "overconcentration" of residential care facilities Into account when making its licensing decisions for such facilities. (§ 1520.5.) If the Legislature wishes to grant a similar authorization when the Department licenses the treatment facilities in question, It knows how to do so. (See Safer v. Superior Court (1975) 15 Cal.3d 230, 237 -238; Board of Trustees v. Judge (1975) 50 Cai.App.3d 920, 927; 73 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 13, 23 (1990).) We conclude in answer to the first question that the Department may not deny an application for Ilcensure or suspend or revoke the license of a treatment facility because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need. 2. City's Authority to Limit Treatment Facilities The second question concerns whether a city may limit the number of treatment facilities serving six or fewer. persons within Its boundaries. For example, may a city enact an ordinance requiring that In addition to licensure by the Department, the prospective operator of a treatment facility must obtain the city's approval If the facility will be located within 500 feet of an existing treatment facility? We conclude that it may not. The Constitution provides that "[a] county or city may make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws." (Cal. Const., art. XI, § 7.) The rules to be applied in determining whether a city's ordinances would conflict with general laws were recently summarized in Calftrola Veterinary Medical Assn. v. City of West Hollywood (2007) 152 Cal.App.4th 536, 548: The California Constitution reserves to a county or city the right to "make and enforce within Its limits all local police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws." [Citation; footnote omitted.] "'If otherwise valid local legislation conflicts with state law, it is preempted by such law and is void.'" [Citations.] A prohibited conflict exists If the local ordinance duplicates or contradicts general law or "enters an area either expressly or impliedly fully occupied by general law." [Citations.] "'[I]t Is well settled that local regulation is invalid If it attempts to impose additional requirements In a field which is fully occupied by statute.' [Citation.] '[L]ocal legislation enters an area that Is "fully occupied" by general law when the Legislature has expressly manifested its Intent to "fully occupy" the area [citation], or when It has impliedly done so in light of one of the following Indicia of intent: "(1) the subject matter has been so fully and completely covered by general law as to clearly indicate that It has become exclusively a matter of state concern; (2) the subject matter has been partially covered by general law couched in such terms as to Indicate clearly that a paramount state concern will not tolerate further or additional local action; or (3) the subject matter has been partially covered by general law, and the subject Is of such a nature that the adverse effect of a local ordinance on the transient citizens of the state outweighs the possible benefit to the" locality [citations].' [Citation:]" [Citation.] With these principles In mind, we return to the provisions of sections 11834.01- 11834.50. Two statutes are relevant to our inquiry. First, section 11834.22 provides that treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons may not be made subject to any business taxes, local registration fees, use permit fees, or other fees to which ordinary single - family dwellings are not subject. Second, and even more in point, section 11834.23 states with respect to local zoning ordinances governing such facilities: Whether or not unrelated persons are living together, an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility which serves six or fewer persons shall be considered a residential use of property for the purposes of this article. In addition, the residents and operators of such a facility shall be considered a family for the purposes of any law or zoning ordinance which relates to the residential use of property pursuant to this article. For the purpose of all local ordinances, an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility which serves six or fewer persons shall not be Included within the definition of a boarding house, rooming house, institution or home for the care of minors, the aged, or the mentally infirm, foster care home, guest home, rest home, sanitarium, mental hygiene home, or other similar term which Implies that the alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment home Is a business run for profit or differs in any other way from a single-family residence. This section shall not be construed to forbid any city, county, or other local public entity from placing restrictions on building heights, setback, lot dimensions, or placement of signs of an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility which serves six or fewer persons as long as the restrictions are identical to those applied to other single - family residences. This section shall not be construed to forbid the application to an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility of any local ordinance which deals with health and safety, building standards, environmental Impact standards, or any other matter within the jurisdiction of a local public entity. However, the ordinance shall not distinguish alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities which serve six or fewer persons from other single - family dwellings or distinguish residents of alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities from persons who reside in other single - family dwellings. No conditional use permit, zoning variance, or other zoning clearance shall be required of an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility which serves six or fewer persons that is not required of a single - family residence in the same zone. Accordingly, a city may not make Its land use decisions in a manner that will disadvantage treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons when compared to decisions applicable to ordinary single - family residences.- The hypothetical ordinance described above would allow the city to ban the operation of a new treatment facility within 500 feet of an existing facility. Such an ordinance would be in conflict with section 11834.23, and thus be preempted by state law. (See, e.g., Doe v. City and County of San Francisco (1982) 136 Cal.App.3d 509 [local law may not impose additional licensing requirements when state law specifically prohibits such requirements].) Would our analysis and conclusion be different in the case of a charter city? A charter city, In contrast to a general law city, is not subject to state statutes involving "municipal affairs." (Cal. Const., art. XI, § 5, subd. (a); Sherwin - Williams Co. v. City of Los Angeles (1993) 4 Cal.4th 893, 897, fn. 1; Califomia Veterinary Medical Assn. v. City of West Hollywood, supra, 152 Cal.App.4th at p. 548, fn. 6.) "[T]his constitutional 'home rule' doctrine reserves to charter cities the right to adopt and enforce ordinances that conflict with general state laws, provided the subject of the regulation Is a 'municipal affair' rather than one of 'statewide concern.' [Citation.]" (Traders Sports, Inc. v. City of San Leandro (2001) 93 Cal.App.4th 37, 45.) Here, section 11834.23 has been made applicable to all cities, both general law and charter (§ 11834.20), and forbids the use of zoning or other regulatory powers to treat small treatment facilities differently from other residential dwellings ( §§ 11834.22- 11834.24). Section 11834.23 addresses a matter of "statewide concern" because it seeks to ensure that persons throughout the state who are recovering from problems related to alcohol or other drugs will have access to residential settings that provide treatment. "(I]n articulating the test for preemption, the Supreme Court was concerned with ensuring that a state law does not Infringe legitimate municipal Interests other than that which the state law purports to regulate as a statewide interest." (City of Watsonville v. State Department of Health Services (2005) 133 Cal.App.4th 875, 889 [state law requiring fluoridation of local water supplies narrowly tailored to state's interest In Improving dental health], italics added.) Here, the state law in question has the precise aim of regulating local zoning. requirements In pursuance of a statewide interest. The Legislature clearly Intended to prevent local governments from applying any zoning clearances to small treatment facilities by mandating that they be treated the same as other single family residences for zoning purposes. The Legislature may properly look to the statewide need, rather than the local need, to overcome a charter city's municipal interests. We conclude in answer to the second question that a city may not limit the establishment of alcoholism or drug abuse treatment facilities serving six or fewer persons because the particular community already has more than a sufficient number of treatment facilities to meet the local need. * * * * *i.

Operating Without a License. http: / /www.adp.ca.gov/ licensing /regs/Reg_2_10505.shttnl 1/8/2008 ATTACHMENT C Summary of Public Comments (page 1 of 6) "RECEIVEDFGEHDA PRINTED:" T Michael Tidus 1,000' is more appropriate distancing between facilities See page 11 of the Staff Report. Distancing standards are facially discriminatory per, 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. There are more than 1000 beds in Newport Beach City staff believes that there are more than 500 beds, but not much more. Attorney General's recent opinion not applicable to this situation RWG agrees. Dens Oberman 1,000' is more appropriate distancing between facilities See page 11 of the Staff Report. Distancing standards are facially discriminatory per 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Not all uses should be in the coastal areas Existing uses need to be legally compliant Agreed, generally. Existing uses that have violated the Moratorium or did not apply for an FEP yet should have are ineligible to receive a Use Permit. Time to submit UP applications should be 30 days Disagree. Ninety 90 days is appropriate. Hearing Officers should be "qualified and independent" Agree — see proposed Council Policy F -26 Attachment G Hearing Officers should not be City employees Agree — see proposed Council Policy F -26 Attachment G Richards, Watson, Gershon should consider serving as Hearing Officers RWG may not be able to defend the ordinance if RWG serves as Hearing Officers. RWG's role may be better advising the City as Use Permits are considered. City should prohibit all unlicensed facilities All new unlicensed facilities limited to MFR zones. City needs consistent enforcement if these codes are adopted. Agreed. Time period for Time Extension of Abatement Period and Reasonable Accommodation should be concurrent. RWG does not believe that requiring concurrent Reasonable Accommodation requests is legal under Federal Fair Housing laws. Even if the City made these application periods concurrent, an applicant could always ask for reasonable accommodation from the concurrent application requirement, rendering the requirement moot. Ed Dilkes City should use Code Enforcement rather than new ordinances. City believes that Code Enforcement is vital to the success of the new ordinances, and that both go hand -in -hand. There is no different impact between 6 people in recovery and 6 people in a single family house. Robert Rush Ordinance "exacerbates not remediates" problem. Disagree. ATTACHMENT C Summary of Public Comments (page 2 of 6) Max Liskin Cit is "real) close" to a good ordinance. CRC Health Group should suggest how they will be good neighbors. John McGregor As a West Santa Ana Heights resident, "grateful to participate in this process." What role do Fire Medics play in group residential responses? Like any home or business, a property can subscribe to the Fire Medics program, whereby most occupants of the home or business have their cost liability capped per call. The City does the same for all homes or businesses that subscribe. Craig Batle "well over 600 beds" in the community. City staff believes that there are more than 500 beds, but not much more. Bob Halley, Cary Lowe Hope to resolve an issue with legal non - conforming for property at 3355 Via Lido. Ted Bosley West Santa Ana Heights' homes went from 1 to 6 in the past few years. City notes that this jump occurred in Orange County unincorporated territory — no City ordinances applied to West SAH as this increase occurred. Bettina Gidiger "Ordinance is just a start — we're not going away." Niki Repp Need 1,000' distancing to address overconcentration on Lido Isle There are three known facilities on Lido Isle, all at the same comer near the bridge entrance. As to distancing, see discussion on page 11 of the Staff Report. Distancing standards are facially discriminate per 9t"Circuit Court of Appeals. Laura Curran There should be no grandfathering in of non - compliant parking standards when a new use occu The Hearing Officer can require adequate parking on -site. City must consistently I apply arking standards across all uses, or else risk discrimination claims. ATTACHMENT C Summary of Public Comments (page 3 of 6) Text for Hearing Officer to determine parking needs is "too vague." Mustafa So lumez Can a licensed 6 and under offer treatment? Yes. "Code enforcement has not worked at Clay- Orange" Code Enforcement's case against Pacific Shores Recovery is what allowed the City to file suit in November 2006 against the owners and managers of the Clay- Orange. facility. Richard Nichols City should adopt the ADP regulations just as it does the Uniform Building Code, Fire Code, etc. Disagree. There is no benefit to doing this and no need to do this. "Adopting the State Code would force all unlicensed facilities to become licensed." Not true and not a desirable outcome necessarily. Allan Beek 'We are concerned." David Diamond "each block could have one or more." But ordinance directs Hearing Officer to consider block lengths outside of the Nonstandard Subdivision Area, where block lengths are significantly longer. 1,000' distancing See discussion on page 11 of the Staff Report. Distancing standards are facially discriminatory per ; Circuit Court of Appeals. Discuss the proposed methodology for time extensions. See page 8, Section D of the Staff Report. Asked that a typographical section error be corrected. Corrected. Is the abatement period 10 ears? No, it's one year or less, subject to reasonable accommodation. Willis Lon ear "Nothing in here about abatement" Abatement is in the ordinance — see Section 20.62.090 "80% don't have a license, 20% do." There is significant confusion about a city business license versus a license from the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (ADP) to offer one of five types of treatment in a facility. City business licenses are not regulatory — they are for revenue purposes. All facilities, including rehab homes, need business licenses and must get them. But RWG has directed that operating without one is not a reason to deny a Use Permit application (the City does not block a business from ever o eratin in the cit a ain if someone does not apply for a business license — ATTACHMENT C Summary of Public Comments (page 4 of 6) instead, we require the person to get the license before they can continue work). "No grandfathering in" of existing uses. All existing uses are subject to new conditions within a Use Permit process. This is not grandfathering. Cynthia Koller Will the City allow homes which offer alternative sentencing to continue to operate? Parolee- probationer homes are prohibited from residential districts. However, a person who is not on parole or on probation — yet still within an alternative sentencing program — may reside in ANY home in Newport Beach.

Lori Morris Who will be paying for the Use Permit applications? Applicants will cover most costs, except for the cost of the Hearing Officer. Is a new tax created by this regulatory effort? No. The City is able to accommodate the cost within its General Fund and with anolicant fees. What do other cities do? No other city, to our knowledge, has a process like this one.

ATTACHMENT C Summary of Public Comments (page 5 of 6) Ken Kuhlman What is the Police Department's policy for handling persons from group homes that commit crimes? Policy is the same as a crime committed by any person from any home. In some bases, immediate arrests are made. In other cases, a person is brought back to his or her residence. It is the officer's discretion. Provided a "volcomix" shirt that appeared to characterize Newport Beach Shirt did not refer to Newport Beach by name. Louise Fundenber Thanked City Council for the ordinance. Josh Haskin Clarified on behalf of Mr. Halley that the building at 3355 Via Lido was not going to be used for rehabilitation treatment or housing. Jim Miller Nospecific comments about the ordinance. Darlene Kuhlman Why do recovery homes not have to be accessible to persons in wheelchairs if the residents are "disabled ?" See Staff Report, Page 11 -- RWG advises that case law says that ADA does not require a residential facility to accommodate persons in wheelchairs unless the persons residing there require wheelchair access. In other words, if a person's disability allows them to be fully ambulatory, the house in which they reside does not have to be compliant for non - ambulatory persons. Jan Vandersloot "This is a problem not just on the Peninsula." "Is there anything in case law that makes the APA standard legal ?" The APA, as a nationwide and respected organization of professional planning officials, has put forth the only standard that RWG has seen that speaks to overconcentration of residential recovery facilities. There is no case law either way on the APA standard, which is in part why it's beneficial to propose. Why not apply the 1,000' distancing standard? See page 11 of the Staff Report. Distancing standards are facially discriminatory per 9th Circuit Court of A eals.

Misconceptions about their nature and impacts abound although there is a wealth of scientific evidence that community residences for people with disabilities generate no adverse impacts on the surrounding community and function as residential uses. More recently the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988(3) prohibited zoning regulations of community residences that are based on unfounded myths and fears about the residents, and appeared to explicitly disallow the use of special use permits as the primary means of regulating community residences. Yet this misclassification and exclusion continues unabated throughout most of the nation. During the 1970s and 1980s, every state, as well as the federal government, started to reshape its policies toward people with severe disabilities. States recognized that warehousing people with disabilities in institutions was not only extremely costly, but also ineffective. A large proportion of those who were institutionalized could live in much less restrictive environments such as a familylike environment in a house or apartment surrounded by other residential uses. They did not require the high level of care furnished by an institution. Overwhelming evidence showed that allowing individuals with disabilities to live in a familylike setting in the community in a community residence was not only much less expensive than consigning them to institutions, but also substantially more effective. In a familylike setting, people with disabilities could learn the life skills we teach our own children on a daily basis. Living in a community residence, namely a group home or halfway house, fosters normalization in which these individuals learn to lead as normal a life as possible. As the courts have noted time and again, community residences are the very opposite of an institution in terms of how they function and perform, and in terms of how they use the land. To achieve a familylike setting, these community residences need to be located in the same residential zoning districts as dwellings occupied by biological families. Definitions Because there is so much misunderstanding of this subject, it is essential to first define several terms. Group Home A dwelling unit occupied as a single housekeeping unit in a familylike environment by up to approximately 12 to 15 persons with disabilities plus support staff. Residents are supervised by a sponsoring entity or Its staff which furnishes habilitative services to the group home residents. A group home is owned or operated under the auspices of a nonprofit association, private care provider, government agency, or other legal entity, other than the residents themselves or their parents or other individuals who are their legal guardians. Interrelationships between residents are an essential component of a group home. A group home imposes no time limit on how long an individual can reside in the group home. A group home is a relatively permanent living arrangement where tenancy is measured in years. The group home constitutes a family, a single housekeeping unit where residents share responsibilities, meals, and recreational activities as in any family. The intention is for group home residents, like members of a biological family, to develop ties in the community. Like people without disabilities, these individuals attend schools, work, and may receive other support services in the community. The group home staff is specially trained to help the residents achieve the goals of independence, productivity, and integration into the community. Together, the staff and residents constitute a functional family.(4) The group home's staff teaches the residents with disabilities the same life activities taught in conventional homes. They learn personal hygiene; shopping cleaning, laundry, and recreational skills; how to handle money; how to take public transportation; how to use community facilities. They learn how to live as a family. The group home fosters the very same family values our most exclusive residential zoning districts http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides /commres.htm ?project =Print 1/22/2008 Policy Guides advance. Page 2 of 10 The primary purpose of the group home is to provide a familylike setting with ongoing supervision and support for persons unable to live independently in the community. It is not a clinic where treatment is the principal or essential service provided. A treatment regime may be incorporated into the daily routine of persons with disabilities wherever they may live, whether with their families, in an institution, or in a group home. So, just like the person with a disability who lives with her family, the group home resident may have a daily habilitation regime to follow. Any treatment received at home is incidental to the group home's primary purpose. (5) Residency in a group home is long term relatively permanent and measured in years, not months or weeks. There is no limit on how long an individual can live in a group home. A group home can house people with developmental disabilities (mental retardation, autism, etc.), mental Illness, physical disabilities, or addiction to drugs or alcohol. When the residents have a drug or alcohol addiction, the group home is called a recovery home. The number of individuals who live in a group home varies from just two or three to as many as 12 to 15, or in rare cases as many as 20. For people with developmental disabilities, it is felt that smaller homes are more productive. Group homes for people with mental illness tend to house six to 15 residents for both therapeutic and financial reasons. Group homes for the frail elderly can require as many as 20 residents to be financially and therapeutically sound. The maximum number of residents is determined by applying a jurisdictions housing code for residential uses to the property. Some group home residents graduate from this type of community living arrangement to live on their own with only occasional visits from professional staff. Most, however, will live out their lives in a group home. Recovery homes for people with drug or alcohol addictions are another type of group home. Occupants typically sign an annual lease and can live in a recovery home for years. A singlefamily residential district is essential for most group homes to succeed, although for some, a multiplefamily district can work. Group home operators want to establish group homes in the same sort of pleasant, safe neighborhoods you and I strive to live in, for the same reasons we seek them. Halfway house or recovery community A temporary residential living arrangement for persons leaving an institutional setting and in need of a supportive living arrangement in order to readjust to living outside the institution. These are persons who are receiving therapy and counseling from support staff who are present when residents are present, for the following purposes: (a) to help them recuperate from the effects of drug or alcohol addiction (a disability); (b) to help them reenter society while housed under supervision while under the constraints of alternatives to imprisonment including, but not limited to, prerelease, work release, or probationary programs (not a disability); or (c) to help persons with family or school adjustment problems that require specialized attention and care in order to achieve personal Independence (not a disability). Interrelationships between residents is an essential component of a halfway house. Residency is limited to a specific number of weeks or months. People with drug or alcohol addictions often need to live in a halfway house as a transitional living arrangement before they can live more independently in the community or return to their homes. The key for them is to learn to abstain completely from using drugs or alcohol. Treatment usually consists of an initial withdrawal period followed by intensive counseling and support both through treatment programs and through residential living arrangements. Such community residences are based on the group home model with some significant differences with implications for proper zoning regulation. The halfway house or recovery community helps people with drug or alcohol addictions readjust to a normal life before moving out on their own. A person with an addiction is admitted only after completing detoxification. The halfway house staff helps residents adjust to a drugfree lifestyle, learn how to take control of their lives, and learn how to live without drugs. Nearly all halfway houses place a limit, measured in months, how long someone can live there. Unlike a group home, the halfway house aims to place all its residents into independent living situations upon graduation. For both therapeutic and http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides/commres.htm ?project =Print 1/22/2008 Policy Guides Page 3 of 10 financial reasons, most halfway houses need 10 to 15 residents to be successful. Because the number of residents in a halfway house is greater than in a group home and their length of tenancy shorter, halfway houses more closely resemble multiplefamily housing than singlefamily residences, although, like group homes, they work best in singlefamily neighborhoods. (6) Disability A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of a persons major life activities, impairs their ability to live independently, or a record of having such an impairment, or being regarded as having such an impairment. Prison preparolees, for example, do not, as a class, fit this definition. Most people with disabilities do not require a community residence to live in the community. More than 80 percent of them live with their families or on their own with some support services.(7) Still, in 1990 over 3.9 million Americans had disabilities so severe that they were prevented from working at a job or doing housework or they required assistance with daily tasks like getting in and out of bed, dressing, bathing, shopping, or light housework, or had a developmental disability, Alzheimers disease, or senility making many of them appropriate candidates to dwell in a community residence.(b) This set of policy guidelines of the American Planning Association does not advocate for or against community residences, the broad term that includes group homes and halfway houses. It does not include hospices, emergency shelters, residences for victims of abuse, or other group living arrangements.(9) This polity guideline seeks to establish the maximum level of zoning regulation permissible for community residences for people with disabilities in accord with sound planning principles, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (FHAA), and case law. These policy guidelines do not suggest that any community or state with less restrictive zoning provisions should make their zoning provisions more restrictive. Exclusionary zoning practices Limiting the number of unrelated individuals who can dwell together has been one of the most commonly used zoning techniques to exclude community residences from singlefamily districts. The definition of family in most zoning codes allow no more than three, four, or five unrelated individuals to occupy a dwelling unit. Some allow no unrelated people to live together, even as roommates.00i The U.S. Supreme Court upheld these restrictive definitions in Village of Belle Terre v. Borass("). Since most community residences need six or more residents to succeed therapeutically and financially, this restriction has effectively blocked most community residences from locating in the residential areas in which they need to locate. Another common technique has been to require a special use permit for a community residence to locate in a residential district.(12) At a public hearing, an applicant must demonstrate that its proposed land use meets the criteria for granting a special use permit. In the case of community residences, neighbors commonly claim that the proposed community residence will reduce property values and introduce crime and congestion to the neighborhood. Many opponents assert that the community residence is a business rather than a dwelling. In many allwhite communities, opposition is driven by a fear of racial integration, namely that group home residents and staff may be of African ancestry. All of these objections reflect false impressions of community residences and their occupants. City officials quite often yield to objections by neighbors and reject the application of the community residence even when the applicant demonstrates it meets the criteria for awarding the special use permit. This was the scenario that led to the U.S. Supreme Courts 1985 decision in City of Cleburne v. Cleburne Living Center where the Court ruled the city had illegally denied the group homes special use permit based on the neighbors unfounded fears and myths about the group home and its residents.03) This technique is extremely effective at limiting the housing opportunities for people with disabilities who need a community residence to live in. When a special use permit is required, the buyer usually seeks to purchase the property with a clause that makes the sale contingent on receiving the special use permit. That sort of provision is quite common in the sale of commercial property, but extremely rare in the sale of owneroccupied residential property. Few homeowners can afford to sell their houses subject such a contingency clause. Most homeowners need the proceeds from the sale of their current house to buy a http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides /commres.htm ?project =Print 1/22/2008 Policy Guides Page 4 of 10 new one. Consequently, few homeowners are willing to sell to a group home operator who insists on this kind of contingency clause and few group home operators can afford to take the risk that their special use permit application will be denied and theyll be stuck with a house they cannot use as a group home. In 1974 the American Society of Planning Officials (one of APRs predecessor organizations) surveyed 400 U.S. cities and found that the zoning ordinances of fewer than 25 percent provided specifically for community residences. Of those that mentioned group homes or halfway houses, the vast majority either prohibited them from singlefamily districts or required them to obtain a special use permit to locate in . such residential zones.(14) Ten years later, the zoning picture for community residences was still grim. The General Accounting Office found that 65.5 percent of the time local zoning ordinances or practices prevented or made it difficult for group homes for people with developmental disabilities to locate in the singlefamily districts their operators preferred.(15) Subsequent recent research prior to adoption of the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 found that little had changed.(16) Role of the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 Rather than simply add people with disabilities to the list of protected classes under the Fair Housing Act, Congress added a new section to the act that declared discrimination includes: a refusal to make reasonable accommodations in rules,. policies, practices, or services, when such accommodations may be necessary to afford such person equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. (17) Much of the FHAA litigation has revolved around the issue of reasonable accommodation. Given this statutory language, it is hard to see how anybody can contend that the FHAA requires that community residences be treated the exactly the same as singlefamily residences. The statute requires only that a reasonable accommodation be made in a citys zoning ordinance to give people with disabilities an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. This does not mean that they have a right to dwellings they cannot afford to buy or rent. It does not mean that a city must change its zoning to allow communes, boarding houses, or fraternities in its most exclusive singlefamily districts. But this provision does mean that a city is required to bend its zoning rules to enable members of the protected class, many of whom need a community residence living arrangement to live outside an institution, to establish such residences in singlefamily and multiplefamily zoning districts. And it means that a city cannot impose additional barriers to community residences for people with disabilities. Consequently, if a zoning ordinance defines family as any number of unrelated persons living together as a singlehousekeeping unit, the locality cannot impose any additional restrictions on community residences. A community residence which,. of course, constitutes a singlehousekeeping unit with 12 unrelated residents complies with this definition of family. However, if a zoning ordinance places a cap on the number of unrelated people who can dwell together, the FHAA requires the local ordinance to make a reasonable accommodation to enable community residences for people with disabilities to locate in every zoning district where residences are allowed. While the FHAA does not mention zoning or group homes, its legislative history provides a clear picture of what the FHAA sought to accomplish: These new subsections would also apply to state or local land use and health and safety laws, regulations, practices or decisions which discriminate against individuals with handicaps. While state and local governments have authority to protect safety and health, and to regulate use of land, that authority has sometimes been used to restrict the ability of individuals with handicaps to live In communities. This has been accomplished by such means as the enactment or imposition of health, safety or landuse requirements on congregate living arrangements among nonrelated persons with disabilities. Since these requirements are not imposed on families and groups of similar size of other unrelated people, these requirements have the effect of discriminating against persons with disabilities. http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides /commres.htm ?project =Print 1/22/2008 Policy Guides Page 5 of 10 The Committee intends that the prohibition against discrimination against those with handicaps apply to zoning decisions and practices. The Act is intended to prohibit the application of special requirements through landuse regulations, restrictive covenants, and conditional or special use permits that have the effect of limiting the ability of such individuals to live in the residence of their choice in the community . (18) [emphasis added] The legislative history goes on to suggest that restrictions on community residences that are based on fact, not fiction, may be legal. The paragraph that follows in the House Committee Report suggests that municipalities can Impose rationallybased zoning regulations on community residences: Another method of making housing unavailable has been the application or enforcement of otherwise neutral rules and regulations on health, safety, and landuse in a manner which discriminates against people with disabilities. Such discrimination often results from false or overprotective assumptions about the needs of handicapped people, as well as unfounded fears of difficulties about the problems that their tenancies may pose. These and similar practices would be prohibited.(19) The FHAA essentially codified the majority opinion of the courts regarding community residences. For more than 20 years, the vast majority of court decisions involving attempts to locate community residences in singlefamily zoning districts found community residences to be akin to the traditional family (20) and constitute functional families that belong in singlefamily zones unlike fraternities and sororities, communes, and other loose, temporary group living arrangements. (21) It is clear from court decisions under the FHAA that when a jurisdictions definition of family does not cap or limit the number of unrelated individuals who may occupy a dwelling unit the FHAA prohibits imposing additional zoning requirements on community residences for people with disabilities. (22) Unlike capless communities, jurisdictions that place a limit on the number of unrelated persons who can live together, can regulate community residences to an extent. Court decisions strongly suggest that zoning restrictions on community residences can be legal if you can answer yes to all three of the following questions: • Is the proposed zoning restriction intended to achieve a legitimate government purpose? • Does the proposed zoning restriction actually achieve that legitimate government purpose? • Is the proposed zoning restriction the least drastic means necessary to achieve that legitimate government purpose? In Bangerter v. Orem City Corporation, the Tenth Circuit articulated these questions a bit differently. The court stated that [r]estrictions that are narrowly tailored to the particular Individuals affected could be acceptable under the FHAA if the benefits to the handicapped in their housing opportunities clearly outweigh whatever burden may result to them.(23) Findings 1 Community residences are a residential use of land. For zoning purposes, community residences are much closer in terms of land use to a residence ordinarily occupied by a conventional family than any other land use. The majority of courts have ruled that are a community residence is the opposite of an institution, boarding house, or a commercial use. 2 Community residences have no effect on the value of neighboring properties. More than 50 studies have examined their impact on property values probably more than for any other small land use. Although they use a variety of methodologies, all researchers have discovered that group homes and halfway houses do not affect property values of even the house next door. They have no effect on how long it takes to sell neighboring property, including the house next door. They have learned that community residences are often the best maintained properties on the block. And they have ascertained that community residences function so much like a conventional family that most neighbors within one to two blocks of the home don't even know there Is a group home or halfway house nearby. (24) http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides/corr=es.htm ?project =Print 1/22/2008 Policy Guides Page 6 of 10 3 Community residences have no effect on neighborhood safety. A handful of studies have also looked at whether community residences compromise neighborhood safety. The most thorough study, conducted for the State of Illinois, concluded that the residents of group homes are much less likely to commit a crime of any sort than the average resident of Illinois. It revealed a crime rate of 18 per 1,000 people living in group homes compared to 112 per 1,000 for the general population.(25) 4 Community residences do not generate adverse impacts on the surrounding community. Other studies have found that group homes and halfway houses for persons with disabilities do not generate undue amounts of traffic, noise, parking demand, or any other adverse impacts.(26) 5 Community residences should be scattered throughout residential districts rather than concentrated in any single neighborhood or on a single block. For a group home to enable its residents to achieve normalization and integration into the community, it should be located in a normal residential neighborhood. If several group homes were to locate next to one another, or be placed on the same block, the ability of the group homes to advance their residents' normalization would be compromised. Such clustering would create a de facto social service district in which many facets of an institutional atmosphere would be recreated and would change the character of the neighborhood. Normalization and community integration require that persons with disabilities be absorbed Into the neighborhood's social structure. The existing social structure of a neighborhood can accommodate no more than one or two group homes on a single block. Neighborhoods seem to have a limited absorption capacity for servicedependent people that should not be exceeded.(27) Social scientists note that this level exists, but they can't quite determine a precise level. Writing about servicedependent populations in general, Jennifer Wolch notes, At some level of concentration, a community may become saturated by services and populations and evolve into a servicedependent ghetto.(28) According to one leading planning study, While it is difficult to precisely identify or explain, saturation is the point at which a community's existing social structure is unable to properly support additional residential care facilities. [group homes]. Overconcentratlon is not a constant but varies according to a community's population density, socioeconomic level, quantity and quality of municipal services and other characteristics. There are no universally accepted criteria for determining how many group homes are appropriate for a given area.(29) Nobody knows the precise absorption levels of different neighborhoods. However, the research strongly suggests that as the density of a .neighborhood Increases, so does its capacity to absorb people with disabilities into its social structure. Higher density neighborhoods presumably have a higher absorption level that could permit group homes to locate closer to one another than in lower density neighborhoods that have a lower absorption level.(30) This research demonstrates there is a legitimate government interest to assure that group homes do not cluster. While the research on the impact of group homes makes it abundantly clear that group homes a block or more apart produce no negative impacts, there is concern that group homes located more closely together can generate adverse impacts on both the surrounding neighborhood and on the ability of the group homes to facilitate the normalization of their residents, which is, after all, their raison dtre. 6 Community residences should be licensed or certified to protect the welfare of their residents. The individuals who occupy a community residence constitute a vulnerable population unable to fully care for themselves. Licensing helps ensure that the operator is qualified to furnish the requisite care and support services the group home residents need. It helps assure that staff is qualified and properly trained, and sets a minimum standard of care. The welfare of the residents of a community residence constitutes a legitimate government interest, narrowly tailored to the individuals who live in a group home, and whose benefits clearly outweigh whatever burden may result. http: / /www. planning .org /policyguides /commres.htrn?project =Print 1/22/2008 Policy Guides Page 7 of 10 Policy Positions Zoning is.essentially performance oriented. When officials select the uses that are permitted as of right in each zoning district, they make the implicit assumption that these land uses belong in the district and do not generate adverse impacts on the surrounding properties. Special or conditional uses are those that belong in a district, but are known to produce adverse impacts under certain conditions unless precautions are taken. The extensive research on the Impacts of community residences shows that they generate no adverse impacts on the surrounding neighborhood as long as they are licensed and not clustered on a block. There is no need to subject community residences to special use permit procedures because the licensing and spacing threshold issues are purely factual questions that can be determined administratively and do not require the extra scrutiny of a special use permit hearing. General Policy Position Based on sound planning and zoning principles, the American Planning Association recognizes that community residences for people with disabilities are residential uses that should be allowed as of right in all zoning districts where other residences are permitted uses. When the proposed community residence complies with the jurisdictions zoning code definition of family, no additional restrictions can be imposed. When the number of residents in the home exceeds the cap on the number of unrelated individuals set in the definition of family, the jurisdiction should amend its zoning code to make a reasonable accommodation to provide for community residences in all residential districts within the capacity of the jurisdiction to absorb additional community residences into its social structure. Specific Policy Positions Supported by the American Planning Association and its chapters POLICY 1: A proposed community residence for people with disabilities that complies with the jurisdictions definition of family should be allowed as of right in all residential districts under the definition of family. (Additional) Zoning requirements that are more restrictive than those applicable to residential uses in the underlying district are not permitted. By adding people with disabilities to coverage of the Fair Housing Act, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 effectively prohibits placing additional zoning requirements on a community residence for people with disabilities that otherwise meets the zoning code requirements for other residential uses. POLICY 2: When a proposed group home for persons with disabilities does not comply with the jurisdictions definition of family, then the jurisdiction is required to make a reasonable accommodation in its zoning code to allow group homes for people with disabilities as of right in all residential districts if it meets these two requirements: 1. That a rationally based spacing requirement be provided to avoid an undue concentration of community residences and 2. When the proposed group home or its operator must be licensed or certified by the appropriate state, national, regional, or local licensing or certification body. If a proposed group home fails to meet both tests, then a zoning ordinance should allow the operator to apply for a special use permit. The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 requires jurisdictions to make a reasonable accommodation to enable community residences for people with disabilities to locate in residential districts. Such accommodations must be the least drastic necessary to actually achieve a legitimate government purpose. Based on sound planning principles and the extensive evidence found by studies on the impacts of community residences, the American Planning Association believes that this approach outlined here constitutes the maximum permissible degree of zoning restrictions. A oneblock spacing distance appears to be long enough to assure that community residences achieve the normalization they seek for their residents and help preserve the residential character of a neighborhood. Concentrating or clustering several community residences on a block can recreate an institutional atmosphere exactly the opposite of what community residences seek to achieve. Since the residents of a community residence are a vulnerable population, requiring licensing or certification helps assure their welfare and safety in the least intrusive manner. http: / /www. planning. org /policyguides /con=es.htrn?project =Print 1/22/2008 Policy Guides Page 8 of 10 Group homes include recovery homes for people with drug or alcohol addictions. Like other group homes, recovery homes are longterm residences that do not limit how long individuals may live there. They should not be confused with halfway houses for people with disabilities, Including drug or alcohol addiction. POLICY 3: When a proposed halfway house for persons with disabilities does not comply with the jurisdiction's definition of family, then the jurisdiction is required to make a reasonable accommodation in its zoning code to allow halfway houses for people with disabilities as of right in all multiplefamily residential districts if the proposed halfway house meets these two requirements. 1. That a rationally based spacing requirement be provided to avoid an undue concentration of community residences and 2. When the proposed group home or its operator must be licensed or certified by the appropriate state, national, regional, or local licensing or certification body. If a proposed group home fails to meet both tests, then a zoning ordinance should allow the operator to apply for a special use permit. From a zoning perspective, halfway houses perform more like multiplefamily housing than singlefamily housing. They dont emulate a family quite as closely as a group home does. They billet many more people. They place a limit on length of residency, unlike a group home which is a more permanent living arrangement akin to singlefamily housing. POLICY 4: Halfway houses should be allowed in all singlefamily zones by special use permit due to their multiplefamily characteristics that warrant the extra scrutiny provided by the special use permit or comparable review process when locating in a singlefamily district. On many occasions the operator of a halfway house may prefer to locate it in a singlefamily district. Halfway houses are not, per se, incompatible with singlefamily homes. However, the heightened scrutiny of a conditional use permit hearing is warranted to assure that a proposed halfway house will be compatible with the other land uses in a singlefamily district. The standards to apply are the same ones used for other special uses. POLICY 5: Local planners should, on an informal basis, seek to facilitate communication between the operators of proposed community residences and the surrounding community to help foster full integration of the residents of a community residence into the community. Planners should help neighbors learn how each proposed community residence emulates a family and how it serves as a residence that is properly located in a residential zone, not an institutional use that belongs outside residential districts. They should disseminate to neighbors and public officials the findings of the extensive research on the absence of adverse impacts of community residences on the surrounding community. Authority 1.

Oxford House, which has been the subject of so much FHAA litigation falls somewhere between the group home and halfway house. Unlike the halfway house, Oxford House places no limit on the length of stay. Unlike a group home, or even halfway house, Oxford House has no staff. The residence Is run by its officers who are elected periodically from among its residents. Unlike a group home, Oxford House needs 10 to 15 residents to function successfully, both therapeutically and financially. The courts have generally construed Oxford House to be a group home. 7.

Also known as a conditional use permit, the special use permit was designed to allow for extra scrutiny to be applied to land uses that belong in a zoning district, but that may generate adverse impacts unless certain conditions were observed.

General Accounting Office, Analysis of Zoning and Other Problems Affecting the Establishment of Group Homes for the Mentally Disabled 61 (1983). Several regional studies have also found that few municipal zoning ordinances provided for community residences. In 1983 it was found that only four of the 31 municipalities in the Seattle, Washington, area defined the term group home and that only three allowed them as a permitted use in even one residential district. Eighteen allowed them by special use permit in at least one zoning district, not necessarily residential, and 13 did not provide for them at M. RitzdorfBrozovsky, Impact of Family Definitions in American Municipal Zoning Ordinances 119, 214215 (1983) (unpublished dissertation, University of Washington). A California study found that not a single municipality in suburban San Francisco allowed group homes for more than five residents as a permitted use in residential districts; only one allowed group homes for five or less residents as a permitted use in all residential districts; two allowed them as a permitted use in some residential districts; nine allowed them as special uses in some residential districts; and seven did not allow group homes at all.

Over 90 judicial decisions involving community residences for people with disabilities and definitions of family and other zoning restrictions are cited there. Pre1988 decisions run three to one in favor of allowing community residences for people with disabilities in singlefamily districts despite restrictive definitions of family or requirements for a special use permit. This figure includes only those cases that involved community residences for people with disabilities, not other populations not subsequently covered by the 1988 amendments to the Fair Housing Act. 2.2.
