 A pair of recommendations from the Alton Plan Commission were voted on at Wednesday's city council meeting, ensuring no homeless shelters would be built in-city under current regulations. One that would have allowed a text amendment to the city code allowing for a shelter in an R4 zoning district was defeated with only one in favor, 6th Ward Alderman Stephanie Elliott. Another recommendation from the commission was to not allow a special use permit for the proposed new Hope House on Oakwood Avenue.
