Summary

A resident asked the council for an update on zoning changes tied to recovery residences, and a councilor said the Area Plan Commission has drafted amendments that will be reviewed by councilors and may appear on the floor within a month.

During public comment Dec. 9, Shauna Jarbo of 22 East Powell Avenue raised a follow-up on prior council resolutions (R-2024-16 and R-2024-17) concerning recovery residences and asked the council to keep the matter active rather than allow it to "fizzle out."

A councilor responded that the Area Plan Commission has been working on a zoning amendment to address gaps related to recovery houses, that the amendment has moved through the APC and needs review by councilors, and that the item could be filed on the council floor in the coming month.

The exchange indicates continued staff and APC work on zoning regulations for recovery residences; councilors did not take formal action during this meeting but acknowledged ongoing progress and the prospect of future council consideration.
