[Durham INC] FW: Notice for TC1200010 and TC1200011 for January 8, 2013, Planning Commission

[Pat Carstensen]

It turns out that the Urban Growth Boundary is mentioned in the UDO in only a couple places, and this takes those few references out.

THis is the definition of "family care" --A dwelling that provides room and board for not more than six persons 
who because of age, illness, handicap, or specialized program, require 
personalized services or a supervised living arrangement in order to 
assure their safety and comfort that is regulated by the State of North 
Carolina.   

Family care homes would be prevented from being too close together, but would not need minor use permits or not have any language about, for example, being compatible with the neighborhood.  In particular, it doesn't look like we would even require that they meet state standard.
