“Group residence facility” means a facility licensed by the state and operated with full-time supervision for housing resident persons who, by reason of their mental or physical disability, addiction to drugs or alcohol, or family and social adjustment problems, require a transitional nonmedical treatment program for rehabilitation and social readjustment. For the purposes of this title, a nonmedical treatment program consists of counseling, vocational guidance, training, group therapy and other similar rehabilitative services but does not include drug and/or alcohol detoxification. Monitoring the taking of prescription medication shall be permitted. The use of medication by any resident shall be incidental to that person’s residence in the facility and shall not be a criterion for residence in the facility. This definition does not include residential dwellings which meet all other requirements of this title, that provide programs related to this definition or which provide services of a nursing home as defined by ACC 18.04.660. A group residence facility is not a communal residence. (Ord. 6560 § 5, 2015; Ord. 6245 § 3, 2009; Ord. 4590 § 2 (Exh. A), 1992; Ord. 4304 § 1(2), 1988; Ord. 4229 § 2, 1987.)
