Fewer people will be allowed to reside in group and personal care homes in Marietta.
The Marietta City Council decided recently to reduce that number from five to three, not counting staff to care for them - usually one or two with 12-hour shifts.
Councilman Philip Goldstein said during an earlier work session this change would not affect the present estimated 20 homes in the city.
Councilman Grif Chalfant made this recommendation for the housing change.
Halfway houses would need a special land use permit, Goldstein added.
