Bottom line

Lawrence Community Shelter, 214 W. 10th St., is asking for a temporary extension of the city permit it must have to operate.

Background

The shelter’s permit is not scheduled to expire until March 7, but there is not sufficient time for the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission to have a public hearing on extending the permit for an additional year prior to the expiration date. The February Planning Commission meeting is reserved for consent agenda items only because staff members will be participating in a weeklong planning workshop in early February. Planning staff members are recommending the shelter’s permit be extended to April 17 to give sufficient time for the Planning Commission and City Commission to consider the shelter’s request for a one-year extension.

Other business
