The following excerpts of Town Code regulate the use of a dwelling unit.
Chapter 85-1 Definitions FAMILY
[Amended 7-22-2003, effective 8-11-2003; 8-28-2012 by L.L. No. 21-2012,
effective 9-11-2012]
(1) The following groups shall be considered a family:
(a) Any number of persons related by blood, marriage, legal adoption or legal foster relationship, living
and cooking together as a single, nonprofit housekeeping unit;
(b) Four or more persons occupying a single dwelling unit and living together as a traditional family or the
functional equivalent of a traditional family.
(2) It shall be presumed that four or more persons living in a single nonprofit dwelling who are not related
by blood, marriage, legal adoption or legal foster relationship do not constitute the functional
equivalent of a traditional family. This presumption can be overcome only by a showing that, under
the standards enumerated in Subsection C hereof, the group constitutes the functional equivalent of a
traditional family. A determination as to the status of such group may be made in the first instance by
the Chief Building Inspector or his designee, or on appeal from an order, requirement, decision or
determination made by him, by the Zoning Board of Appeals in conformance with this Chapter 85 of
the Brookhaven Town Code.
(3) In determining whether four or more persons living in a single nonprofit dwelling who are not related
by blood, marriage, legal adoption or legal foster relationship constitute the functional equivalent of a
traditional family pursuant to Subsection A(2), the following factors shall be evaluated:
(a) The group is one which lives and cooks together as a single housekeeping unit, shares expenses for
food, rent, ownership costs, utilities and other household expenses. A unit in which the various
occupants act as separate roomers may not be deemed to be occupied by the functional equivalent
of a traditional family.
(b) The group is of a permanent and stable nature and is neither a framework for transient or seasonal
living nor merely an association or relationship which is transient or seasonal in nature. Nothing
herein shall preclude the seasonal use of a dwelling unit by a group which otherwise meets the
standards of this subsection at its permanent residence. Evidence of such permanence and stability
includes, but is not limited to:
[1] The presence of minor children regularly residing in the household who are enrolled in a local school.
[2] Members of the household have the same address for the purposes of voter registration, drivers'
licenses, motor vehicle registration, filing of taxes and delivery of mail.
[3] Members of the household are employed in the area.
[4] The household has been living together as a unit for a year or more, whether in the current dwelling or
in other dwelling units.
[5] The existence of a head of the household that cares for the occupants in a family-like living
arrangement.
[6] Common ownership of furniture and appliances among the members of the household.
[7] Any other factors reasonably related to whether or not the occupants are the functional equivalent of a
family.
(4) All other requirements of this chapter regarding the use and occupancy of a residence for one family
shall be complied with.
(5) Any determination under this subsection shall be limited to the status of a particular group of persons
as a family and shall not be interpreted as authorizing any other use, occupancy or activity.
(6) In no case shall a residence for a single family be occupied by more than the number of persons
permitted under the standards presented in this chapter.
(7) Floor plans of the dwelling unit shall be submitted to the Chief Building Inspector or his designee, and
on appeal if necessary to the Zoning Board of Appeals, and must conform to all Town and state laws,
regulations and codes.
(8) There shall be at least one room which is not designed as a conventional bedroom, bathroom, foyer,
storage area or closet.
(9) The Chief Building Inspector, or his designee, or the Zoning Board of Appeals may impose such conditions and
safeguards as it shall deem reasonable, necessary and/or advisable in order to maintain the stability and
character of the neighborhood and protect the health, safety and welfare of the community.
