I am pleased to see that the Planning Commission made it easier for nursing homes and assisted living facilities to locate in areas zoned for multi-family and certain office uses. I didn't realize that previously such facilities always required a special permit. What a pain!
Speaking of that sort of facility, are any of you familiar with how our ordinances define "nursing home", "assisted living facility", and the like? I'm just curious if our laws, zoning regulations, and so on are flexible enough to deal with the country's growing elderly population, the changing look of "old folks' homes", and related issues. Better to deal with those matters earlier rather than later.
