The focus of this full-day program is on challenges created for municipalities by types of special residential uses. A few of the uses explored will be: boarding houses, alcohol and drug treatment facilities, congregate care facilities, group homes, halfway houses, shelters, bed and breakfasts, adult and child care in residential dwellings. A close examination will be provided of these special residential occupancies from both a zoning and Uniform Construction Code perspective. Special emphasis is placed on how to properly classify the intended use using IBC Chapter 3 classifications and careful attention will be paid to the triggers for changing an R-occupancy to an I-occupancy, and their impact on the applicable code requirements.
Case studies and examples will be used to illustrate the most critical elements of the discussion.
