At its Dec. 1 meeting the Stillwater City Council advanced three land-use and code-change ordinances to second reading and adopted routine administrative resolutions.

Ordinances advanced on first reading:
- Ordinance 35-86: Rezoning of property at 711 South Ramsey Street from RSS (small-lot single-family residential) to RTM (two-family/multifamily). Planning staff said the rezoning aligns with the comprehensive plan and the Planning Commission recommended approval (11/04/2025). The council advanced the ordinance to second reading by a 4–0 vote.

- Ordinance 35-87: Rezoning of property at 998 South Murphy Street from RSS and CG to Commercial General (CG). Staff described a history of PUD approvals in the area and said the parcel had not been included in final PUD phases; the Planning Commission recommended approval (11/04/2025). The council advanced the ordinance to second reading by a 4–0 vote.

- Ordinance 35-89: A text amendment to Chapter 23 (Land Development Code) adding or clarifying a setback exception for front-yard reductions on properties abutting local streets with unusually wide right-of-way. Staff explained the amendment narrows the continuity requirement so eligibility depends on the right-of-way directly in front of the property (100-foot minimum) or a 50-foot centerline distance, and expands the covered districts to include multifamily and other districts. Planning Commission recommended approval (11/04/2025). The council advanced the ordinance to second reading with a 4–0 vote.

Administrative actions:
- Resolution CC-2025-32 and sister resolutions for SUA updated authorized signatories for depositories and municipal court due to staffing changes; council adopted them 4–0.
- The council reappointed Derek Davies and Phil Thomas to the Stillwater Regional Airport Advisory Board for three-year terms (through January 2029), approved 4–0.

Outcome: The three ordinances were advanced to second reading; administrative resolutions and appointments were adopted, all by unanimous votes.
