The change in question removed the limit on how many unrelated people could live in a home under single-family zoning classifications, with the goal of making it easier to open co-op housing options for college students.
The commission requested Council require a conditional use permit for group homes located in single-family zoning for properties housing from seven to 15 people, restore licensing and inspection requirements for homes with seven or more unrelated adults, and remove language concerning the provision of food for occupants by a third party.
Zoning and Platting Commissioner Betsy Greenberg suggesting it was possible that group homes with up to 15 residents could emerge around the city with little regulation or oversight.
Mayor Pro Tem Leslie Pool, who spearheaded the HOME and HOME 2 policy slates, said Greenberg was using the group homes issue to stir up objections to the larger HOME effort to increase housing density.
