1150.01 INTENT.

   In recognition of the special nature of the housing needs of older persons and to enable older persons to obtain suitable, safe, sanitary and decent housing designed to meet their special needs which include, among other things, a reduced dwelling size, assistance in housekeeping, availability of and location to essential amenities, and the development of neighborly relations in order to reduce feelings of alienation, it is necessary to establish an additional zoning classification regulating and controlling the location of buildings designed specifically for older persons. The location of such housing would be in accordance with and advance the policies of the City Master Plan and would promote and protect, to the fullest extent permissible under the powers of the City, the public health, safety, convenience, comfort, prosperity and general welfare of the residents. Housing for older persons may be located in an SR Senior Residence residential zone of the City provided it meets the requirements of this chapter.
