<\/a>Chautauqua Opportunities Inc. presents to Jamestown Planning Commission (September 20, 2022)<\/p><\/div>\n
The Jamestown Planning Commission<\/strong> has approved the site plan for a new women’s homeless shelter<\/strong> in downtown Jamestown.<\/p>\nChautauqua Opportunities Inc.<\/strong> will operate the facility to be located at 303 Lafayette Street. The facility will be able to shelter 18 women and is only for women age 18 and older.<\/p>\nCOI officials said they hope to go to bid on the project in a couple of weeks. It’s being funded through a $2.49 million grant from the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe Planning Commission also has resumed discussions about establishing a Local Preservation Ordinance<\/strong>.<\/p>\nCity Principal Planner Ellen Shadle<\/strong> said the ordinance would be part of the City’s zoning provision.
\nShe said when it came to things like replacing older windows with vinyl windows or putting up siding, it depended on what was in the design standards, “And the design standards are not part of the ordinance. So the design standards.. you can’t create design standards without the ordinance authorizing their creation. And the ultimate design standards can be whatever you want to a certain extent.”<\/p>\nShadle said those standards are created by a community member Preservation Board.<\/p>\n
She said if the Planning Commission approved an LPO, it would then go to City Council for approval.<\/p>\n
Commission Chair John LaMancuso<\/strong> confirmed that despite Federal Historic District<\/strong> designations, a historic district under an LPO doesn’t exist unless City Council<\/strong> designates an area as a historic district, “Nothing is a historic district until City Council says it’s a historic district. And we could adopt this as a city and city council could say, ‘Oh, well we don’t think that any place should be a historic district. We don’t want to burden people in this way,’ or maybe, ‘We want this block to be historic that includes the Jackson Center,’ or whatever. So a lot of this comes down to City Council which I think is very appropriate.”<\/p>\nLaMancuso requested additional information on the benefits to the city in implementing an LPO. There was no other action on the LPO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
