VISITORS: HALF -WAY HOUSE: The following written opinion was received from City Attorney in regard to operation of "Half -Way" House at 527 W. Bonneville. "In my opinion, Comm -Home, INc., may operate the facility commonly referred to as "Halfway House" at 527 W. Bonneville, by securing a special permit from the Board of Adjustment. This opinion is based upon the following sections of the City zoning code: 22.36.040(3) and 22.44:010(1) which provide that'a'' "correctional institution is permitted in a C-2 zone upon issuance of a special permit. !,' •-22.16•.040 which -,provides that the Board of .Adjustment sHall hear and decide applications for special permits. The action of the Board -of Adjustment is final, 22.16.150. Special permits are issued under the provisions of Chapter 22.80. In my opinion,,,the facility does not qualify as a "boarding house" or "rooming house within the meaning of those terms as they are used in in the.zoning code, but probably falls within the meaning of the term "correctional institution." Mrs. Esther Day, 419 Bonneville, asked if there would be only one meeting of the Board of Adjustment. The staff answered yes. (Next meeting of Board of Adjustment will be November 30, 1971).
