Councilmember Hornat said he was comfortable with utilizing the state standards and/or International Codes for interior regulations but Council should have purview over the outside of the building in each of the different categories of senior care.  Councilmember Hornat further stated that he preferred to use the C.U.P. process for approval.

Councilmember Snider said that the interior regulations should be governed by the state standards and/or International Codes and that she would prefer to review exterior issues.
