Fortuna council adopts zoning map changes to implement Mill District specific plan
Summary
The council unanimously adopted Ordinance 2026‑781 amending the zoning map to implement the Mill District specific plan and related general plan land‑use amendments; council found the ordinance compliant with CEQA per staff recommendation.
The Fortuna City Council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 2026‑781, which amends the municipal zoning map to implement the Mill District specific plan and related general plan land‑use changes. City staff said the ordinance certifies compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and amends Municipal Code section 17.302.0.03 to reflect the updated land‑use designations.
Planning staff said the amendments were anticipated as part of the specific plan adoption in the prior year and include a small number of areas outside the Mill District that were reclassified for consistency. At the prior special meeting (first reading/public hearing), staff presented the draft ordinance; at the second reading council heard no additional public comment and proceeded to a roll‑call vote.
The ordinance was read by title only and adopted by roll call; council members voting yes were recorded on the roll call. No amendments were made at second reading and the council’s findings included consistency with the general plan and CEQA compliance as presented by staff.
With adoption, the zoning map will formally align with the Mill District specific plan and associated land‑use amendments, and staff will proceed with any implementation steps required by the municipal code.
