Oliveri: Single-Family Zoning, Intimate Association, and the Right to Choo SINGLE-FAMILY ZONING, INTIMATE ASSOCIATION, AND THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE HOUSEHOLD COMPANIONS Rigel C. Oliveri* “[P]eople consider their right to pass judgment upon their future neighbors as sacred.”1 Abstract Many local governments use single-family zoning ordinances to restrict occupancy in residential areas to households whose members are all related to one another by blood, marriage, or adoption. The Supreme Court upheld such ordinances in the 1974 case of Belle Terre v. Boraas, and they have been used to prevent all sorts of groups from living together—from unmarried couples who are raising children to college students. This Article contends that Belle Terre is wholly incompatible with the Court’s modern jurisprudence on privacy and the right of intimate association. The case appears to have survived this long because of a reflexive deference paid to the “police power,” which gives local governments wide latitude to pass laws to promote the general welfare of the community.

  • Discriminatory Zoning and the Fair Housing Act
    (800) 692-7443 (Voice) (877) 375-7139 (TDD) www.disabilityrightspa.org DISCRIMINATORY ZONING AND THE FAIR HOUSING ACT I. INTRODUCTION This booklet is designed to acquaint people with disabilities, advocates, providers, and attorneys with the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 ("FHAA" or the "Act")i and, in particular, its impact on state and local zoning laws and land use regulations.ii Restrictive zoning laws that limit housing choices for persons with disabilities were a particular target of the FHAA, and many lawsuits under the Act have successfully challenged the use of zoning laws to prohibit or limit group homes and other housing arrangements for people with disabilities.iii II. BACKGROUND OF THE FAIR HOUSING AMENDMENTS ACT The FHAA was enacted in 1988 to extend the protections of the 1968 Fair Housing Act to people with disabilities. In passing the FHAA, Congress recognized that "[t]he right to be free of housing discrimination is essential to the goal of independent living."iv The purpose of the Act, therefore, is to prohibit practices that restrict the choices of people with disabilities to live where they want to live or that "discourage or obstruct [those] choices in a community, neighborhood or development."v Given the broad remedial goals of the FHAA, courts have held that its provisions should be broadly construed.vi Courts have also rejected constitutional challenges to the application of the FHAA to local zoning laws and decisions.vii H-6 Page | 1 Who Is Protected By The FHAA? The Act protects people with "handicaps."

  • Group Home Requirements
    Group Home Requirements Business Licensing – If the facility/home is operated for profit it is subject to all City ordinances and applicable laws, including City business licenses requirements, Building Code, Fire Code, and land use requirements. If the locations are operated by nonprofit organizations as defined in NLVMC 5.02.001 they are exempt from City licensing requirements. However, they must comply with all City ordinances and applicable laws. Applicants must provide proof of local licensure or verification that a license is not required before a state license from the Bureau will be issued. Building Code – Group homes can change a dwelling unit’s occupancy classification, depending on number and types of occupants. However, most group homes would remain a residential classification and would not require substantial changes to the residential structure. Planning and Zoning - Most regulations concerning group homes within the City of North Las Vegas are in the zoning ordinance. Most group homes are classified as a conditional use. In North Las Vegas a conditional use is allowed if the applicant meets certain conditions. It is an administrative act conducted by city staff. A special use permit, including a public hearing, is used if the applicant requests waivers from the conditions. The following is the zoning classification (title 17) for state licensed facility types that could be considered types of group living. State Defined Term City Defined Term Facility for the treatment of abuse of alcohol or drugs Halfway house for recovering
