Lawrence city leaders will soon consider suspending certain building and fire codes to enable the city to use two recreation centers to provide overnight shelter during the winter for up to 150 people experiencing homelessness. As part of its meeting Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission will consider a resolution to temporarily suspend enforcement of certain provisions of the city’s land development code, international building code and international fire code from Nov. 3 to March 31 to allow the recreation centers to be used as emergency overnight shelters during that time period.
