RECOMMENDATION:
Give second reading to Ordinance Nos. 15-11 and 15-13 with regard to the proposed ordinances
revising Title 13 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code with regard to group homes, state licensed
facilities and boardinghouses in the Multiple -Family Residential (MFR) zones and Planned
Development zones ("MFR Group Home Ordinance"), and Title 9 of the Costa Mesa Municipal
Code with regard to operator's permits for group homes in the MFR zones.
ANALYSIS:
On November 3, 2015, City Council gave first reading to Ordinance Nos. 15-11 and 15-13 by a
5-0 vote. The proposed ordinances will provide the regulatory framework to limit the number of
people in a group home and to prevent the overconcentration of residential care facilities, group
homes and sober living homes in multiple -family residential and planned residential
neighborhoods, and allow the City to review the proposed use on an individual basis, track the
location of sober living homes in the effected zones, and establish reasonable operating
standards and/or Conditions of Approval on these uses to ensure that they do not generate the
type of secondary impact that would be out of character for the neighborhood.
