Does anyone have a land use designation that exclusively identifies senior housing? Is so, could I have the text?

Michael Stumpf said:NHP, that is an interesting approach, although I am not sure I would like the development resulting from your regulation. I wonder if something like this could be better integrated into a neighborhood fabric.
I think this whole idea of special considerations for an elderly population raises some questions for me. Isn't this really a form of discrimination? What if we were to try to create "family housing districts" in an effort to keep out the college kids? How would that be different?

I agree. I don't think those over 55 are so special that they deserve their own exclusive neighborhoods. I think housing should be built that will appeal to aging baby boomers but not at the expense of everyone else. Its hard enough for working families to find affordable housing without a large percentage of new developments being built for "mature" individuals to appease school districts.
