Subjects certain rooming and boarding houses to municipal land use regulations; requires owners and operators of cooperative sober living residences to submit certain approvals with license applications.
This bill requires certain rooming and boarding houses and cooperative sober living residences to comply with local land use regulations. Specifically, it amends existing law to subject these facilities to municipal zoning and land use rules (previously exempt except for construction codes). It also mandates that applicants for a State Class F license to operate a cooperative sober living residence must submit written approvals from local zoning, fire, health, and building authorities with their license application. The bill affects owners/operators of these facilities and changes how the state issues licenses for sober living residences.
