Bottom line

City commissioners will consider approving a site plan for a new Salvation Army homeless shelter and community complex for the west side of Haskell Avenue between Lynn and Homewood streets.

Background

The Salvation Army project has been planned for several years and previously was granted approval by city commissioners. But the project’s site plan has expired, and now neighbors in the area want to add new conditions to the project that would address concerns that they raised when the project was first proposed. The conditions would limit the ability of the Salvation Army to offer a free meal program at the site and also limit other activities that could occur there.
