Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator, presented a brief report on this item; she
noted that during the past few years the City has had several problems with persons utilizing single-
family dwellings for "pregnancy homes"; renting two or more rooms in the home to individuals under
separate rental agreements and basically operating a boarding house, Addressing "Boarding Houses"
and inclusion of this specific wording in the Arcadia Municipal Code will benefit the public and city
staff by providing a clear definition of what is and is not permitted, and it will assist the City's Code
Services Officers in enforcing the Code when violations are reported,
