The County Board of Commissioners finds:
(A) A crisis for the care of frail, elderly and disabled individuals exists;
(B) For many individuals, there are no economically reasonable means of addressing their health care problems;
(C) The temporary placement of mobile homes, as defined by the County Zoning Ordinance, within a reasonable proximity to other family members, will permit some individuals home health care in lieu of institutionalization;
(D) Without supportive home health care, some individuals are at risk of institutionalization;
(E) The temporary nature of such auxiliary housing will have minimal impact upon the public health, safety, order, convenience and general welfare of the county as it relates to the arrangement of buildings on lots and density of population; and
(F) The County Board of Commissioners, as opposed to the County Health and Human Services Board, is uniquely situated so as to more appropriately deal with this unique aspect of the continuum of health care and support for the elderly in the county.
