Council approves ordinance to extend public hearing notice for zoning matters to 20 days following AB 2904
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance No. 1159 to amend municipal code notice requirements for public hearings on zoning ordinances or zoning amendments from 10 days to 20 days, implementing state bill AB 2904.
The City Council approved Ordinance No. 1159 to amend the municipal code and extend public-hearing notice requirements on certain zoning matters from 10 days to 20 days, a change prompted by a state law referenced by staff as AB 2904. Staff told the council the state bill took effect Jan. 1 and requires the longer notice period for public hearings concerning zoning ordinances or amendments that affect permitted uses of real property.
Mr. Bobadilla presented the item and explained that AB 2904 requires a 20-day notice window for public hearings on zoning ordinances or ordinance amendments that affect property-use permissions. The public hearing was opened and, with no speakers, closed. A council member moved approval of item 6, the motion was seconded and the council approved the ordinance by voice vote.
The change aligns the city’s municipal code with the state requirement and applies specifically to public hearings on proposed zoning ordinances or zoning ordinance amendments that change permitted uses of real property. No public comments were offered during the hearing and the council approved the ordinance at the meeting.
