Costa Mesa Takes Fight Over Rehab Facilities to Supreme Court, Impact Could Be Far-Reaching

Kelly Hagemann was called upon by the Daily Journal to provide comment on a petition filed with the U.S. Supreme Court challenging a recent 9th Circuit holding that a sober living home need not provide individual evidence of disability in order to file disability claims for its residents. In an article titled, “Costa Mesa Takes Fight Over Rehab Facilities to Supreme Court, Impact Could Be Far-Reaching,” Kelly predicts that if the high court grants Costa Mesa’s petition, it could set off a wave of cities throughout the state revising rules governing sober living and group homes, particularly with regard to zoning.
