Land use · La Mesa, California

residential care facility (6 or fewer persons)

How this ordinance defines it

The operative definition is the local one. Codes routinely subdivide a category into tiers — “day care 2, family”, “group home 2” — and attach different permissions to each, so only La Mesa’s own text settles what this covers.

No passage in this ordinance names it directly

The use appears in this jurisdiction’s district tables, but a search of the chapters read so far turned up no sentence defining it. It may be defined in a chapter not yet retrieved, or under a different wording.
