City closing in on halfway house rules

City planners are finalizing new ordinance provisions to allow group residential facilities for juveniles and adults to exist in Mount Airy as an alternative for persons who otherwise might be behind bars. The Mount Airy Planning Board has moved closer toward establishing a regulatory framework in light of interest being shown in such a facility in town. While some forms of residential group homes or extended-stay facilities presently exist in Mount Airy, that board and city Planning Director Byron Brown are now focused solely on “halfway houses” as “stand-alone” SR (special requirements) entities. Newly developed language has been added to a proposed city ordinance governing such homes in accordance with this. It defines a halfway house as “a licensed home for juveniles or adult persons on release from more restrictive custodial confinement or initially placed in such more restrictive custodial confinement.” In a halfway house, “supervision, rehabilitation and counseling is provided to assist residents back into society, enabling them to live independently,” the proposal states. No change has occurred in the city zoning districts where such facilities can be placed as the regulatory process evolved recently.
