Land Use Webinar
Zoning Regulation of Group Homes and Residential Recovery Facilities: Lawful Techniques and Litigation Risks
Local governments increasingly face complex zoning questions involving group homes, residential recovery facilities, and other non-traditional residential uses. These matters sit at the intersection of local land-use authority, federal and state fair housing laws, disability rights protections, and evolving enforcement priorities, making them among the most legally sensitive zoning issues municipalities face.
This webinar examines lawful zoning techniques available to local governments when regulating group homes and residential recovery facilities, with a focus on how to structure zoning codes and enforcement practices that withstand legal scrutiny. The session will address the Fair Housing Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and related state law requirements.
Speakers: Mary (Molly) Costello & Leonard Reuter
