Tehachapi council amends downtown entertainment zone map to add fall events; resolution passes 4-0

The Tehachapi City Council on Aug. (date not specified) approved a resolution amending the city's downtown entertainment zone map to add several fall event dates and to move one car show date.

The council voted 4-0 to amend Ordinance 25-2-780 and Tehachapi Municipal Code section 12.10.030 to add the Tehachapi Pizza Festival (Sept. 27, with a backup date of Oct. 18), add the Tehachapi Apple Festival (Oct. 11) and move the Thunder on the Mountain car show from Sept. 27 to Sept. 20.

The change updates the city's authorized area where alcohol may be consumed on public streets during designated events. Community engagement staff presented the proposed map change and explained the specific dates to the council before the motion to adopt the resolution.

Council members indicated no public removals from the consent calendar related to this item and moved the resolution forward. A motion and second were recorded and roll-call responses show Council member Chung (or Chun)

yes , Council member Davies yes, Mayor Pro Tem Power yes, and the mayor (name recorded in the roll call) yes, yielding a 4-0 vote.

Because the item is an amendment to the city's downtown entertainment zone map, staff said the change will be reflected in the city's published map and event notifications so vendors and operators can plan for the updated authorized consumption area.

The council did not record additional conditions or amendments to the resolution during discussion. The approval was listed as a regular agenda item and followed the city's standard process for amending the entertainment-zone map.

The vote concludes the council action on this amendment; staff will update the municipal code references and the downtown map on the city website and in event permits as appropriate.
