It shall be unlawful for any person to own or operate unrelated adult housing within the city limits of the city without first having obtained a license. Unrelated adult housing consists of one or more dwelling units located on one property, as defined by the boundaries of a subdivided lot or categorized as a single property on the tax rolls of the County Treasurer’s office, which are used for the purpose of housing three or more unrelated adults longer than 14 consecutive days and having common areas that are used by the unrelated adults including, but not limited to, kitchens, living, bathing and bedroom areas and not having private secured entrances to individual dwelling units. Hotels, motels, motor lodges, bed and breakfast operations, nursing homes, shelter care homes, group homes, dependent care facilities licensed or operated by the state and student housing on properties owned and operated by accredited institutes of higher education are not unrelated adult housing for the purposes of this chapter.
