The Harrisville City Planning Commission was scheduled to hold a public hearing on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, to consider Ordinance 573, according to a notice posted on July 22, 2026. The meeting was intended to address amendments to the Harrisville City Code regarding definitions, uses, and special regulations.
The proposed ordinance seeks to amend sections 11.01.060, 11.08.020, and 11.10.020 of the Harrisville City Code. These updates are designed to clarify the definition of a produce stand and establish clearer rules for their size, location, parking, hours, and product sourcing within residential and agricultural zones. The changes are intended to have citywide applicability.
During the hearing, which was scheduled for 7:00 PM at Harrisville City Hall, interested persons were given the opportunity to provide comments for or against the ordinance. The city encouraged the public and affected entities to provide information to assist in the preparation, adoption, and implementation of these amendments.
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City of Harrisville offered reasonable accommodations for meeting participation. Requests for assistance could be made to the City Recorder at least 24 hours before the scheduled meeting.
