§ 16.80.010. Intent of chapter.

This chapter is designed to provide the guidelines and framework within which habilitative care facilities and correctional community residential centers shall be allowed to operate in the municipality, as set out in this chapter. The included standards are intended to permit habilitative care facilities and correctional community residential centers to locate and operate with as much autonomy as is reasonably allowable, while still maintaining the appropriate control and authority. This will ensure that the residents of such houses are receiving the care and services that such facilities are designed to provide. These standards will also ensure that the facility is operated in such a manner that it will not infringe upon the rights of neighboring property owners.
