I <br />4. To avoid an overdue concentration of group care <br />facilities in one area, all such facilities shall <br />be located at least one thousand two hundred <br />(1,200) feet apart, measured from property line to <br />property line. <br />5. If located in a single-family area, the home shall <br />have the appearance of a single-family home. <br />Structural alterations or designs shall be of such <br />a nature as to preserve the residential character <br />of the building. <br />6. The facility shall satisfy all applicable off- <br />street parking requirements of Chapter 954. The <br />facility shall meet or exceed all open space <br />requirements for the respective zoning district. <br />7. The maximum capacity of such facilities shall not <br />exceed the applicable number permitted by the <br />department of health and rehabilitative services. <br />8. Group home permits are transferable. If the type <br />of resident/client changes or the resident capacity <br />increases to such an extent that it would raise the <br />facility to a higher level group home as <br />distinguished by the definition, the facility must <br />be reevaluated for an administrative permit or <br />special exception approval. <br />All of these criteria have been addressed and satisfied by the <br />application. <br />16.
