Council advances zoning text amendment to allow emergency shelters in R‑M district
Summary
Ordinance No. 721, a zoning text amendment to allow emergency shelters as a permitted use in the R‑M zoning district, received first reading after a random drawing resolved recusals; staff will return the ordinance for second reading and adoption.
The Exeter City Council on July 28 gave first reading to Ordinance No. 721, which would amend Section 17.18-03 to permit emergency shelters in the R‑M zoning district. City Planner Josh McDonnell presented the text amendment recommended by the Planning Commission.
Three council members initially recused from participating in the item, prompting a random drawing under Fair Political Practices Commission procedures to restore a quorum; Council Member Vicki Riddle was selected to return to the dais and participate. The council gave first reading by title only, waived further reading, and directed staff to return the ordinance for second reading and final adoption. No public comments were recorded for this item on July 28.
