Here's A Thought
... to the whole zoning issue.
How are other not-for-profit organizations dealt with regarding zoning and property taxes? Are the Salvation Army, YMCA, various social/country clubs, with housing units taxed? What about churches?
Fraternal organizations are generally considered not-for-profit groups, and housing is not generally considered something that is not part of the core business of the group (if you had a bookstore or coffee shop, that would be a taxable enterprise, for example). We church leaders face this all the time, as folks want to take our tax exemptions away, or make it cost-prohibitive to build new churches because of greedy zoning rules.
Just a thought...
