The Lewiston City Council has affirmed it’s position to not allow a low-barrier homeless shelter proposed by the LC Valley Adult Resource Center.
According to the Lewiston Tribune, councilors approved a reasoned statement of relevant criteria and standards, a written document that outlined their thinking behind reversing a Planning and Zoning Commission approval of a conditional-use permit that would have allowed the shelter to move forward.
Council President Hannah Liedkie and councilors Kassee Forsmann and Rick Tousley were in the majority. Councilor Kathy Schroeder was in the minority, while Councilor Jim Kleeburg was not present.
The LC Valley Adult Resource Center could appeal the council’s action through filing a petition for judicial review, but it’s unknown at this time if the group will. (Lewiston Tribune)
