Wilmington City Council Votes to Reintroduce Day-Use Facilities to City Code

Wilmington City Council Votes to Reintroduce Day-Use Facilities to City Code

The Wilmington City Council has voted 4-2 to restore group day facilities as a permitted use within certain residential and commercial zoning districts. This decision follows the elimination of the day shelter category from the city code during a Land Development Code update in 2021. The amended ordinance will undergo a second reading at the next City Council meeting, and if approved again, it will become effective immediately. Under the proposed ordinance, day-use facilities will require conditional zoning approval, necessitating two hearings: one before the Planning Commission and another before the City Council. Mayor Pro-Tem Kevin Spears and Councilwoman Chakema Clinton-Quintana dissented, expressing concerns that the item was rushed and that more time was needed to consider aspects such as the required staff-to-client ratio for future facilities. Tony Perez of Living Hope Day Center, who recently withdrew plans for a day center due to community opposition, spoke in favor of the ordinance.
