City commission defers discussion on homeless shelters
City leaders announced this afternoon that a request by the Lawrence Community Shelter to change city zoning laws to allow for homeless shelters to locate in an industrial area has been deferred from tonight’s meeting.
According to the city’s Web site, the item has been indefinitely deferred at the request of leaders of the Lawrence Community Shelter.
Shelter leaders had planned to ask city commissioners to start the process to change the city’s zoning code so that homeless shelters could become an approved use in industrially-zoned areas.
