SUPPORTING SB 709 (DUTTON), WHICH PERMITS A LOCAL AGENCY TO SUBMIT ADDITIONAL
LOCAL LAND USE INFORMATION TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
FOR CONSIDERATION PRIOR TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A STATE LICENSED GROUP
HOME IN A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD
WHEREAS, local agencies throughout California host state -licensed residential care facilities, many
in single-family residential neighborhoods; and

permit (CUP) from the host agency, limiting the control and oversight of local agencies and officials;

often without the knowledge of local agencies and the residents of the hosting neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the safety and security of local agencies and neighborhood residents must be
represented when locating these facilities; and
WHEREAS SB 709 allows local agencies to submit additional local land use information and
documents to the California Department of Social Services for review and consideration prior to the
placement of a residential care facility in a single-family residential neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, SB 709 is a positive first step in restoring local control over our single-family residential
neighborhoods
