§ 21-64. Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other care facilities.

(a)

Care facilities may provide short-term or up to 24-hour care. These care facilities provide for adults or children, elderly and the infirm and are subject to local zoning laws. They are generally most appropriately located in commercial areas, but may, with conditions, be located in residential districts. They are licensed or registered by the State of Florida according to separate and specific provisions of the Florida Statutes. The facilities are listed as a group in the Table of Land Uses (Table 21-31(A)), and permitted in commercial zoning districts.

(b)

Any violation of applicable State statute or regulations shall be deemed a violation of this Code, and shall constitute grounds for termination of the use.
