FL H1193

Redefines "community residence" as housing for unrelated individuals with disabilities living as a functional family equivalent, requiring licensing/certification and establishing minimum spacing requirements of 660 feet or 7 parcel lots from other community residences, recovery communities, or congregate living facilities

Creates new category of "recovery community" for multiple dwelling units providing drug-free/alcohol-free living for people recovering from substance use disorders, with tiered spacing requirements based on occupancy (660-1,500 feet depending on number of residents)

Establishes that community residences with 12 or fewer occupants are allowed as of right in residential zoning districts if they meet spacing and licensing requirements

Requires sponsoring entities to notify local government within 5 days if their license/certification is revoked or denied, and cease operations within 60 days unless immediate cessation is required for health/safety reasons

Provides reasonable accommodation process for community residences that don't meet spacing requirements if they demonstrate no interference with normalization and community integration of nearby residents
