Committee on Ordinances Zoning Decision
A Statement from Chairwoman Ryan
Majority Leader Ryan — who is also Chairwoman of the Committee on Ordinances — issued a statement on the Thursday evening about the committee’s decision to recommended for first passage a change to the zoning ordinance intended to address growing concerns about the quality of life in residential neighborhoods.
This change (if approved by the City Council) will put limitations on short-term housing in residential-zoned neighborhoods, and is intended to protect rental housing stock in the city of Providence.
