3. PUBLIC STATEMENTS
4. DEFERRED BUSINESS
A. Discussion and Committee recommendation regarding New Zone for
Commercial Development
This was a referral to the Committee to explore the possibility of creating a new zone that
would fall between Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) and Regional Commercial (C-2)
zones due to issues that arise with residents when a developer asks for a zone change
when building a shopping center with multiple uses next to established residential areas.
Development Services Director Jack Hardisty explained, people who want to develop
commercial properties always ask for the most intense commercial zoning they can get
on the books. The argument being they need the flexibility. C-2 zoning was originally
meant for the Downtown, Valley Plaza and similar places needing Regional Commercial
zoning. C-2 was not the zoning intended for development of commercial properties in
established neighborhoods.
Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) has limitations including: four-story height limit; no drive
up windows; prohibits motorcycle sales; and no bars or restaurants .with beer and wine
sales. However, with a C-1 zoning an applicant can ask for a conditional use permit

(CUP) and have a hearing to allow other uses. This allows the City to apply restrictions,
such as how close a drive-up window can be to the nearest residents or the placement
of restaurants serving liqUor. In this way, if there's an application for a CUP for a bar, the
residents would get a notice of the hearing. However, an applicant developing a
commercial center will want a C-2 so they have no limitations and a full range of potential
without having to apply.for a conditional use permit'because of the possibility it may be
denied.
Mr. Hardisty expressed that a sizable, successful shopping center can be built with C-1
zoning and staff is recommending that we keep the zoning we have. When an applicant
comes in for commercial center developments next to neighborhoods, give them C-1
zoning and have them apply for a CUP for uses not allowed in that zone. If we need to
enhance the C-1 zone to make its application fit, staff would rather do that and continue
calling it Neighborhood Commercial, C-1. Staff has concerns that creating a new zone
may not produce a better end result and will require changing all the zone maps and
ordinances, which would be extremely time intensive for staff.
Staff recommended when applicants come in for a commercial development next to
established residential areas, they be given C-1 zoning. If they insist on C-2, they could
have a hearing before the Planning Commission and if denied, appeal to the City
Council. The Council's decision would be final and would not have to be referred back
to the Planning Commission, as it has already been heard by that body.
It was suggested that perhaps the requirement for a conditional use permit could be
conditional on the distances from residential development.
The committee agreed with staff's recommendation to consider the adoption of C-1
zones for neighborhood commercial development rather than C-2 (Regional Commercial)
in neighborhoods. An ordinance addressing some of the shortcomings of commercial
development in neighborhoods has been referred to Urban Development which may
prove to be a better approach than creating a new commercial zone district.
B. Discussion and Committee recommendation regarding Halfway Houses,
Rehab and Boarding Facilities
Development Services Director Jack Hardisty provided information and a map showing
locations of licensed group homes by ward. This was referred to the. Committee because
some wards have areas with heavy concentrations of group facilities. There are two
types of facilities, small (serving six. or less persons) and large (serving more than six.)
State law exist that preempts local zoning control over residential care facilities if the
facility serves six or fewer persons (this does not include care givers). The law states this
is a residential use and, therefore, cannot be treated any differently that a typical family
living situation. This precludes the City from requiring any special permits, business
license, home occuPation permit, fire code restrictions, building codes, etc., unless such
is required of any other family dwellings. There are some restrictions allowed by the City
...^. co..,.., gRAFT

for alcohol and drug rehab facilities. However, small facilities are required to be licensed
by the State and the City will not recognize any preemptions if a facility is operating
without a State license.
Those homes which are not licensed and exceed two boarders are considered a
roominghouse or boardinghouse. The zoning ordinance permits anyone to rent no more
than two rooms (one to a person) by right. Once that number (two) is exceeded, if not
a licensed facility by the State, a conditional use permit is required.
It was noted that the State restricts the small group facilities to a separation of 300 feet
between facilities or it requires a waiver from the City. The City does not grant waivers.
In residential zones, if a facility serves more than six people, City regulations require a
conditional use permit (except in the R-4 zone for people with disabilities). Through the
conditional use permit process, conditions can be imposed to further regulate -the home,
such as occupancy limits, fire sprinklers, alarm systems and parking requirements.
For commercial or industrial zones, facilities are permitted by right (if the industrial zone
allows commercial uses) and subject only to the City's site plan review process and a City
business license.
5. NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion and Committee recommendation regarding elevated Tree/Play · Houses (This item heard first)
Development Services Director Jack Hardisty gave an overview of the Building Code
requirements for these structures. In 'June 2000, the rules were changed due to a
complaint about a large tree house next to a fence equipped with electricity and
television. At that time, for structures (playhouses, sheds, etc.) built within five feet of a
fence, the height was reduced from 12 feet down to 7 feet and structures cannot exceed
120 square feet. Structures over 7 feet are required to have a 5 foot setback. If the
structure is over 120 square feet, a building permit is required and all Uniform Building
Code requirements apply that would apply to a house.
Mr. Jason Andrews explained his concerns. About a year ago, a group of kids from his
neighbor's yard began to taunt his dog through the fence. He put up chicken wire to keep
his dog back from the fence. Now the kids get up in the tree house and throw objects at
his dog across the yard. He has talked to the parents, called Police and animal control,
but the behavior continues. Code Enforcement staff came out, but because the structure
is not next to his fence, they did not take action. He stated tree houses are a burden to
neighbors because you have no privacy in your own back yard. He looked into building
an 8 or 10 foot fence, but it cost three times that of a 6 foot fence and suggested the
code should be looked into to allow taller fences. Mr. Andrews stated he is moving in two
weeks due to this problem and feels the City should do something to limit tree houses
due to the huge invasion to privacy.

Committee member Sue Benham stated there are two.problems and they should be
separated. The issue of tree houses and malicious behavior by children throwing rocks.
There was a discussion regarding possible solutions. It was noted when building a fence
higher than 6 feet, it is subject to the Building Code, inspection and modification approval
because it has to be engineered structurally sound so as not to fall in a windstorm.
It was discussed that although Mr. Andrews is moving, someone else will be moving into
his house. The Committee directed the Development Services Director to check the
following: confirm the tree house structure is in compliance with the Building Code and
due to its size, whether a permit was required; check to see if it is safe and structurally
sound; and coordinate contact of the homeowner by the Police regarding the rock
throwing incidents. Staff will report the findings and share information with Mr. Andrews.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
SEPTEMBER 17 , 2001
M O R A N D
September 17, 2001
TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER /
FROM: JACK HARDISTY, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIREC~
SUBJECT: COUNCIL REFERRALS #WF0018835, #WF0018802, #~p'F0018501
The Urban Development Committee directed staff to prepare a report regarding licensed group homes in
the city. A copy of that report is attached with a map showing the locations of these homes. These three
referrals all reference group home issues that are addressed in the report.
RESIDENTIAL CARE HOMES
State Law:
State statutes exist that preempt local zoning controls over residential care facilities. If the facility serves six
or fewer persons (this does not count the care givers), the law states this is a residential use and therefore,
cannot be treated any differently than a typical family living situation. This means that the city cannot
require any special permits, business license, home occupation permit, fire code restrictions, building codes,
etc. unless such is required of any other family dwellings. Occupancy (number of people) is limited by the
Uniform Housing Code which applies to all dwellings and is based on the size of each bedroom.
The areas under state law cover a number of different types of residential care homes. These preemptions
are found as follows:
· Health facilities (care for developmentally disabled and skilled nursing care)
California Health and Safety Code Sections 1267.8, 1267. 9
· Community care facilities (covers all other types of care not already noted for adults and children)
California Health and Safety Code Sections 1566. 3, 1567.1
· Residential care facilities for the elderly
California Health and Safety Code Sections 1568. 083, 1568. 0831, 1569. 85
· Alcoholism recovery and drug abuse facilities
California Health and Safety Code Sections 11834. 02 - 11834. 30
· Family day care homes (day care for children)
California Health and Safety Code Sections 1596. 70 - 1596. 795; 1597. 40 - 1597. 47,1597. 65
· Homes or facilities for mentally disordered, handicapped, or dependent and neglected children
California Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 5115 - 5120
A facility is required to be licensed by the state before the city will recognize the preemption. Otherwise, it
is just a roominghouse which only allows no more than two people (BMC 17.04.510). Licenses are required
for anyone who provides care or supervision and there is no distinction made for secular verses non-secular
providers. Two agencies license these facilities. The State Department of Social Services licenses all day
care, mental care and elderly care homes. The State Department of Alcohol and Drugs licenses only alcohol
and drug rehabilitation homes. Both agencies conduct annual inspections of these homes and will respond
to complaints regarding their operation.
Over concentration of these homes was a concern by the state legislature. Therefore, licenses issued by the
Department of Social Services (except for foster homes and elderly care) must be a minimum of 300 feet
away from any other licensed home (as measured from the outside walls of the house - Section 1520.5 of the
CA Health and Safety Code). If a home is less than the 300 feet, an exemption must be granted by the city,
otherwise the license is denied. To date, the city has not granted any exemptions. This separation restriction
does not apply to licenses issued by the State Department of Alcohol and Drugs for rehabilitation homes.
Listings of licensed facilities may be obtained from both agencies either through the internet at
www.calcarnet.ca.~ov. They may also be contacted for listings or complaints as follows:
· State Department of Social Services: Fresno - (559) 445-5691
(elderly, disabled and day care homes)
· State Department of Alcohol and Drugs: Sacramento - (916) 445-0834
(alcohol and drugrehab only)
September, 2001
Local Law (City of Bakersfield):
If a facility serves more than six people, city regulations require a conditional use permit in a residential
zone (except in the R-4 zone for people with disabilities). ~l-'hese facilities are permitted by right in a
commercial or industrial zone (if the industrial zone allows commercial uses) subject only to the city's site
plan review process. In addition, a business license is required.
The conditional use process is discretionary and conditions can be imposed to further regulate the home.
These conditions can include occupancy limits, fire sprinklers, alarm systems and vehicular prohibitions.
Because the permit is discretionary, it also may be found incompatible in a neighborhood and denied.
Those homes which are not licensed and exceed two boarders, are considered a roominghouse
(boardinghouse is another term for this). The zoning ordinance permits anyone to rent no more than two
rooms (one to a person) by right. Once that number is exceeded, the use &the home is considered a
roominghouse which requires a conditional use permit. An ongoing problem is people who believe they can
operate a group home without any state license but still be allowed to have six people. Under the ordinance,
it' no state license has been issued, they are considered a roominghouse unless they only board two people.
September, 2001
Summary sheet:
RESIDENTIAL CARE OR GROUP HOME
Facility serves 6 or fewer people (count does not include live-in owners or help):
· is permitted by right in all residential zones (considered by state law a residential use)
· no city business license or home occupation permit is required
· the operator must have a license from the State of California
Facility serves 7 or more people (count does not include live-in owners or help):
· a conditional use permit is required in all residential zones (except R-4 for people with disabilities)
· a City business license is required (however, no home occupation is needed)
· the operator must have a license from the State of California
~hese care facilities are providing non-medical care to persons in need of personal services, supervision, or
assistance essential for their daily living. This can include care for the elderly, juveniles, physically and/or
mentally disabled, alcohol/drug rehabilitation, halfway homes, etc. -- any facility where care and/or
supervision for the specific condition is provided and such facility is licensed as such by the state.)
ROOMINGHOUSE
A roominghouse:
· is any building containing 3 or more guestrooms rented for compensation
· is not the same as a residential or group care home as no care or supervision is given to the residents,
though meals can be provided
· requires a conditional use permit in any residential zone (except R-4)
· requires a city business license
(In any residential zone, a person can legally rent up to 2 rooms (1 person' in each room) as a permitted use.
Once they rent 3 or more rooms and/or have 3 or more renters, a conditional use permit is required If the
homeowner states that they are running a group care home for 6 or fewer persons believing this to be a
permitted use but they have no state license for such a facility, then they are not a residential facility but a
roominghouse. They must either obtain approval of a CUP or reduce the number of people and rooms being
rented to 2 so as to remain a legal use without a CUP.)
FAMILY DEFINITION: A family is defined as an individual or group of individuals, related or unrelated, living
together as a single housekeeping unit, including necessary servants. A family does not include a residential facility,
group care, rest home, dormitory, roominghouse, motel or similar uses.
(,4 single housekeeping unit means that the occupants have common use and access to all living and eating
areas, bathrooms, and food preparation and service areas. In addition, court cases have recognized that a
family represents an intentionally structured relationshiP between the occupants implying a permanent, long-
term relationship as opposed to one that is short-term or transient. The latter includes roominghouses,
halfway and sober/drug-free living homes where the person is at the home for a defined period and then is
required to move to more permanent living arrangements.once they've satisfied their time or recovery period.
There is no maximum number of people that can live in a home by definition since the city cannot discriminate
between related and unrelated persons as ruled by the Supreme Court. Occupancy limits are a health and
safety issue enforced by the Uniform Housing Code as it is based on a person per room or minimum square
footage requirement which can be applied equally to all persons regardless of relationship.)

storage sheds, playhouses and other similar uses to obtain a building permit if the structure
exceeds 120 sq. f~. in area. The code defines a "one-story" structure as having a 1 st floor less-
than or equal-to 6 fcct above grade, and a maximum roof height of 12 feet.
If the proposed structure exceeds the maximum requircrnents outlined above, a building permit is
required and all Uniform Building Code requirements apply. Plans must be submitted to thc
building department and the structure is reviewed for structural integrity and setback
requirements.
The majority of storage sheds and baekyard playhouses are less than 120 sq. fi., therefore building
pennits are generally not required.
Bakersfield Municipal Code Requirements;
The Bakersfield Municipal code regulates those structures (sheds, playhouses, etc.) that may or
may not require a building permit.
In June of 2000, Section 17.08 of the Municipal Code was revised as follows:
Accessary Building to Main Building Separation was revised from 10' to 3'.
Accessary Building to Accessary Building Sep~ation was revised from 6' to 3'.
Interior Side Yard Setback was reduced from 5' to 0'.
(Remains 5' if structure is over 120 sq. f~. in area and/or 7' in height*)
Rear Yard Setback was reduced from 5' to 0'.
(Remains 5' if structure is over 120 sq. f~. in area and/or 7' in height*)
*Prior to June of 2000, the Uniform Building Code governed in limiting the structure height to 12'
with the 5' setback. The revised municipal code now limits that height to 7'. Structures
exceeding 7' in height are required to setback 5' from the property line.

ACCESSORY BUILDINGS
ACCESSORY BUILDING (Section 17.04.020) - defined as a detached, subordinate building~',
its use being incidental to the main building or use of the land (you cannot have a lot with an
accessory building or structure by itself- it must be accessory to something already there).
~ Building (Section 17.04.080) - defined as any structure® having a roof which is
supported by walls or columns.
~ Structure (Section 17.04.600) - defined as anything constructed or erected
which requires location on the ground or to something on the ground. (tents,
vehicles, trailers, fences or walls used as fences less 6 feet in height, are not
considered structures by this definition)
[Note: If an accessory building is attached to or located less than 3 feet fi.om the main building, it
is considered part of the main building and is subject to the setbacks of the main building.]
