||||||||||||||||||||||
Facts: | Rule 13 is permitted for a conversion to R-2 Occupancy (congregate living for more than 16 occupants), but not to an R-3 Occupancy (congregate living for 16 or less). Imposition of the rule would prohibit the proposed Rule 13 conversion for a smaller facility than permitted by the strict application of the rule. |
