18.110.305 Group Boarding Home for Minors

Group boarding home for minors means a residential dwelling unit for 5 or more persons under 18 years of age who do not constitute a “family” as defined at Section 18.110.240, who for various reasons cannot reside in their natural home and where 24-hour adult care, supervision and consultation exists under license of the Kansas Secretary of Health and Environment or the Secretary of Social and Rehabilitation Services; provided, however, that this definition shall not include an existing or proposed use of a residential dwelling unit which also meets the definition of “group home” as defined in K.S.A. 12-736 and any amendments thereto and is otherwise in full compliance with that section of the Kansas statutes. Such latter use shall be considered to be a single-family residential use and shall not be considered to be a “group boarding home for minors” for the purposes of the Unified Development Ordinance.
