Hudson council adopts amended nonconforming-residential rules after substitution vote
Summary
The Hudson City Council voted 4-2 to adopt a substituted amendment to Chapter 1206.05 of the Land Development Code (legislation item 24-105) after a separate 6-0 vote to substitute updated language dated Jan. 21, 2025.
The Hudson City Council voted 4-2 on Jan. 21 to adopt amended language affecting nonconforming residential uses in Chapter 1206.05 of the city’s Land Development Code.
Council President Foster moved to pass legislation item 24-105, and the council later moved to substitute updated ordinance language dated Jan. 21, 2025. The substitute motion passed on a 6-0 roll-call vote. After debate and a motion to adopt the substitute language, the final adoption passed 4 in favor and 2 opposed. Council members Patricia Getz and Mrs. Kowalski recorded “no” votes on final passage; the other four members voted “yes.”
The ordinance had previously been through multiple readings and was presented for action at this meeting. The amendment was discussed as a single bill with a motion to substitute updated text before the final vote. Council President Foster led procedural motions; the motion to substitute was seconded and carried unanimously. After returning to the main motion to pass as substituted, the ordinance passed by the 4-2 tally.
Council also held a first reading on an unrelated update to the city’s backflow prevention program (item 25-12) during the same legislative section; that item was not acted on and remains at first reading.
The council announced it would move to executive session later in the evening to discuss pending litigation and personnel matters and did not anticipate public business beyond adjournment after those sessions.
