Based on these complaints, staff has determined <br />that excessive numbers of unrelated persons dwellings in single family districts have <br />caused an increase in noise, traffic, and such gatherings often conflict with family life in <br />single family neighborhoods. <br /> <br />The proposed Ordinance will impose a limitation on the number of unrelated persons <br />who are living in a single family house. Specifically, the proposed Ordinance prohibits <br />more than three (3) unrelated persons from living in a single family house. The <br />Ordinance further imposes a Two Hundred Dollar ($200.00) a day penalty for violations <br />of the Ordinance. As a point of information, the courts have addressed the issues related <br />to occupancy restrictions imposed on unrelated persons. The courts have consistently <br />found valid regulations which prohibit more than three (3) unrelated persons from living <br />in a single family house. <br /> <br />A TT ACHMENTS: <br />.
