I live in single family neighboorhood in Pierce County WA. There is a proposed Adult Family Home (6 person) and we want to fight it since it is a business. County zoning/planning dept says they can't help. Businesses are prohibited by the CC&Rs. Is there a limit on how many AFHs can be in a neighborhood? Adjoinging properties? Do we have a fighting chance or do we have to roll over due to ADA?

Your question is very timely, as the Washington Legislature just amended the law on that subject. RCW 64.38.060 now prohibits a homeowners association from directly or indirectly limiting anyone from operating a licensed adult family home. The HOA can, however, enforce other nondiscriminatory rules such as landscaping standards, architecturaly controls, etc.
