COSTA MESA
Yellowstone Women’s First Step House will have a second chance to convince the City Council that it should be permitted to treat more recovering alcoholics to make the best use of the group home.
This month the council granted Yellowstone a conditional use permit for just seven residents, although the group home had requested one for 14.
Residents who live near the house at 154 E. Bay St. raised concerns about traffic, parking and noisy Sunday meetings.
Yellowstone agreed to a number of concessions, including restricting Sunday meetings to once a month for two hours. It also agreed to stop publicizing open Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, limit street parking and appoint a community member to its board of directors.
