“Residential care home or residential care facility” means a dwelling unit or multiple-unit facility in which the occupant(s) is licensed by the state or county department of social services to provide twenty-four-hour, primarily nonmedical care for children or adults in need of personal services, supervision, or assistance essential for sustaining the activities of daily living or for the protection of the individual in a family-like environment. Examples of residential care facilities include, but are not limited to, facilities for developmentally or mentally disabled, substance abuse recovery, dependent and neglected children, physically disabled, and wards of the court. Residential care homes do not include family day care, foster care or any medical services, including skilled nursing services, beyond that required by the residents of the facility for sustaining the activities of daily living.

Residential care homes are further defined as follows: (1) “small residential care home” is a residence serving six or fewer clients; (2) “large residential care home” is a facility serving seven or more clients. (Ord. 2020-07 § 2, 2020; Ord. 2006-03 § 1 (Exh. A), 2006)
