Anatomy of a Decision: Recent Land Use Zoning Appeals and their Effect on Group Home Locations in Ontario

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
April 1986

Abstract

In this paper we consider the role of land use planning in the location of group homes. Exclusionary zoning policies have been used to restrict the entry of group homes into certain residential neighbourhoods. This has resulted in an unequal distribution of these facilities throughout the community. We concentrate on events in Metropolitan Toronto where it has recently been announced that group homes are to be regarded as a permissible land use in all residential neighbourhoods.

Résumé

Cet article traite du rôle du zonage résidential dans la localisation des foyers de groupe. Les politiques restrictives de zonage furent utilisées pour limiter la présence de foyers de groupe dans les quartiers résidentiels. Le résultat de ces politiques est une distribution inégale des résidences au sein de la communauté. L'article porte sur des événements survenus dans le Toronto Métropolitain où on a récemment annoncé que les foyers de groupe devaient être considérés admissibles dans tous les quartiers résidentiels.
