The Fountain Hills Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved new amendments to meet state statute pertaining to zoning and community residences during its Nov. 9 meeting.
Under current zoning ordinance for basic standards for community residences, there are two types: family and transitional. Family residences are ones where residences generally stay for a longer term, up to a year or more and are capped at eight residents. Transitional homes are geared toward shorter-term arrangements typically around 90 days and are limited to five residents.
However, with SB1473 passing in the latest legislative session, it amended state statues and required to allow up to 10 in assisted living homes.
