(A) State-licensed residential facility. State-licensed residential facilities are allowed in all residential districts pursuant to state statutes, as amended from time to time. The regulation of residential occupancies in this section shall not apply to a state-licensed residential facility.
(B) Residential occupancies. Residential occupancies of single- and two-family dwellings in the R-1 Zoning Districts shall be limited to family-functional and family-traditional, as defined by this chapter. Family-functional and family-traditional may have one additional person residing with them for non-rental purposes or for the purpose of providing a housekeeping or personal service for the resident(s) therein.
(C) Non-conforming uses. Residential rental properties not in compliance with this chapter as of the effective date of the ordinance may continue in the non-conforming use; provided that, if the property ceases to continue in the non-conforming use for a period of 12 consecutive months, the right of continuing non-conformity will end.
(D) R-1 Zoning Districts. It is the desire of the city to maintain the single-family, owner-occupied character of the R-1 zoned districts. As such, the City Council has determined that, in order to protect the character of these neighborhoods, it must restrict the number of rental properties that will be allowed in the same area. Therefore, no two R-1 rental properties may be located within 250 feet of each other. The 250 feet shall be measured from the property line of any currently licensed rental property.
