Council continues attainable‑housing ordinance review after planning board feedback
Summary
The council continued consideration of Chapter 8‑7 (attainable housing) after planning‑board suggestions about whether attainable‑housing review should use a special‑use permit process or be tied to subdivision review; staff were directed to reconcile language and return at the next meeting.
The Little Compton Town Council continued its review of the attainable‑housing amendments in Chapter 8‑7, saying the matter requires additional work after receiving suggestions from the planning board.
Speaker 6 (Planning board representative) told the council the planning board met and offered other suggestions, and recommended that staff take time to ensure everyone was on the same page before presenting final wording. Speaker 2 (Presiding officer) and council members discussed whether the attainable‑housing review should use a special‑use permit process, a subdivision review, or a coordinated approach. Speaker 2 referenced language supplied by Mr. Anderson and said staff (including Mr. DeSisto) would look back at the question of whether a special‑use permit is the proper vehicle.
On motion, the council voted to continue the attainable‑housing amendments to the next meeting to allow staff and planning board representatives to reconcile the ordinance language and prepare a revised draft for council consideration.
