By regulating group housing for the disabled, the City was
“attempting to strike a balance between the City’s and
residents’ interests of preserving the characteristics of
residential neighborhoods and to provide opportunities for
the handicapped to reside in such neighborhoods that are
enjoyed by the non-handicapped.”
    Ordinance 14-13 established the framework for the
City’s comprehensive plan to address “overconcentration”
and “institutionalization” and amended the definitions for
group housing. CMMC §§ 13-310 to -312. Under the new
regulatory scheme, “group home,” is defined as a “facility
that is being used as a supportive living environment for

federal law,” and “boardinghouse” is defined as “[a]
residence or dwelling, other than a hotel, wherein rooms are
rented under two (2) or more separate written or oral rental
agreements, leases or subleases or combination thereof,
whether or not the owner, agent or rental manager resides
within the residence.” Id. § 13-6. 2 Ordinance 14-13 also
