4 Plaintiffs’ theory relied upon the interaction of the terms “family”
and “family care residence” in the Code. Interpreting these two ordinance
provisions, plaintiffs contended that five or fewer unrelated, non-disabled
individuals can constitute a “family” and thus live in a single-family de-
tached residence (without a 600-foot spacing requirement), but five unre-
lated, disabled persons must live in a family care residence.
