[WSBARP] Covenants - Residential use

[rob at hctc.com]

Absolutely. Start with the federal Fair Housing Act. Group homes, generally, are going to be worth thinking hard about. For them, also look at RCW 64.38.060. You might want to start here: http://mrsc.org/Home/Explore-Topics/Legal/Planning/Group-Homes.aspx.   Daycares are different, but also tricky.  How many kids? What kind of license? What exactly do the covenants say? Are they prohibitions on the kinds of buildings (single family residences only), or the kinds of uses (single family residential uses) or both? Yours is a challenging task.

Are there Federal or Washington State legislation or cases that override covenants that restrict lots  residential use.  Prior cases held that covenants limited use to residential use do not allow AFHs and Daycare.  Has that changed?
