The Little Compton Town Council ratified clarifying edits to the attainable housing ordinance (Chapter 18), which was adopted on July 25, 2024. The solicitor reported that suggested changes were mostly grammatical and clarifying, including amended deed‑restriction language and reordering provisions to make special‑use permits and subdivisions clearer.
The planning board had recommended a change to the order of subsection items for clarity; the solicitor said the rest of the ordinance remains the same and recommended ratification. A councilmember moved to ratify the ordinance, the motion was seconded and the council approved the ratification by voice vote.
The solicitor indicated the ordinance is now in good order. Councilmembers said the changes resulted from careful review and considered the ratification an appropriate next step to finalize the wording.
