A.
Generally. No land or structure within the City, in any district
whatsoever, shall be used for a group residence, so-called, in which
five or more persons unrelated by blood, marriage or adoption are
housed and live together as a family, except those who are members
of a religious organization, order, diocese or religious community.
B.
Special permit. In a specific case, the Zoning Board of Appeals,
acting as the special Board of Appeals, may, after a public hearing,
grant a special permit for the use of a structure and land for a group
residence, provided there is no other group residence within 350 feet
of the proposed site, and that such use will not be detrimental to
the public good and will not adversely affect the value or amenity
of neighboring property.
