Desert Hot Springs City Council approves zoning ordinance for parolees
The Desert Hot Springs City Council unanimously approved a new zoning ordinance for parolees and probationers.
The ordinance will stop an "over-concentration" of parolee homes, defined as any buildings where two or more parolees live, city leaders said.
A parolee home must be at least 660 feet away from a hospital, religious institution, school or youth facility. It must also be at least 1,320 feet away from other parolee homes. No more than six parolees can live in a building at one time, and the police department must also be given a weekly update with the names of all parolees living there.
