Public Hearing: IFC Community House Special Use Permit Application

 

IFC 3D South1

This is a continuation of the March 21 public hearing for the Inter-Faith Council's Special Use Permit Application for the the new Community House facility planned for 1315 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. We expect this to be first on the agenda of the council's business meeting, which begins at 7 pm. 

FYI, the SUP application was reviewed -- and unanimously approved -- by five town Advisory Boards: Planning, Transportation, Pedestrian and Bicycle, the Community Design Commission, and Park and Recreation.

Moving forward for the IFC

Last Monday night (March 21st, 2011) the Interfaith Council finally made it through the Special Use Permit process to present their plans for a Men’s Homestart-like Transitional Housing Facility.

The process of finding a location for a men’s facility has been going on for over two decades. In that time, many potential sites have been considered and each time discarded after vigorous complaint by potential neighbors.

This time, IFC has gone through the rigorous Special Use Permit (SUP) process with a higher level of scrutiny by town residents than most SUPs receive. The application has now been unanimously approved by all necessary advisory boards, including the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, Planning Board, Community Design Commission, Transportation Board, and Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board.

"Our backyards." The Carrboro Citizen has an excellent editorial about locating the IFC shelter and the Carrboro Library.

Public Hearing: IFC Community House Special Use Permit Application

IFC's Special Use Permit Application for the the new Community House on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. is on the agenda of the March 21 Public Hearing. The meeting begins at Chapel Hill Town Hall at 7 pm. Supporters should be in their seats by 6:30.

The search for a permanent home for Community House has lasted over ten years and may be over soon! After the Public Hearing, the Town Council is likely to vote on the application later this spring.

FYI, the SUP application was reviewed -- and unanimously approved -- by four town Advisory Boards last month: Planning, Transportation, Pedestrian and Bicycle, and the Community Design Commission.

Open House at IFC Community House

Come visit the downtown Men’s Shelter this Sunday and see why IFC has a tremendous need to build a new and better Community House.  Our small staff, some volunteers, as well as some of our residents will show our guests the current facility, between lunch and dinner. Visitors will be amazed at how do so much with so little space! We want the community to fully understand why the IFC is striving to provide better accommodations for our homeless men, and to more fully appreciate why the move to 1315 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd is essential for our men and for our community.
