disabled will provide a service to the neighborhood by
allowing the construction of homes that will provide
the disabled residing in the area an opportunity to
establish independent living.

with the surrounding mixture of low and medium density
residential development. Additionally, residents in
these homes will be required to have individual support
plans that clearly delineate any support needed in
order for the persons to safely reside in the homes

adequately funded.

stability or future economic development of properties

conditions specified in Chapter 41 for such use?
The group homes will be in compliance with the
regulations and conditions identified in Chapter 41 as
