Item No. 5.3.
Definitions and enforcement of “Family” and “Related” in the Unified Development Ordinance
Sponsor:Jade Broadnax
Reviewed By CBC:City Council
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding the definitions and
enforcement of “Family” and “Related” in the Unified Development Ordinance, as they apply to the
number of unrelated individuals that may reside in a residence.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Neighborhood Integrity
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends that Council receive the presentation and provide direction
as desired.
Summary: The purpose of this item is to receive City Council direction related to potential
modifications to the City’s definition and enforcement of the terms “Family” and “Related,” as they
apply to the number of unrelated persons that may reside in a residence together. The current
ordinance describes degrees of affinity, consanguinity, and other relationships that are considered to
be “Related,” and describes a “Family” as including no more than four unrelated persons.
Background: City Council requested that staff draft an ordinance allowing neighborhoods to request
an overlay zoning restricting occupancy to no more than two unrelated persons in their
neighborhood, on a case-by-case basis.
On June 25th, staff presented information on the concept of a Restricted Occupancy Overlay (ROO)
and received direction to move forward with the public input phase of ordinance development.
Through discussions during the public input phase, staff learned that there are concerns regarding
the City’s current definition of “Related” and how it affects the determination of a “Family”. While new
definitions are being considered by the Council, development of the ROO has been put on hold.
Once new definitions are in place, staff will continue public input related to the ROO.
