Summary

The council adopted Ordinance No. 25-1015, a second-reading amendment to the North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan permitting medical uses in the station-district zone; the motion passed by electronic vote with four yes votes and one member absent.

On second reading, the Montclair City Council voted to adopt Ordinance No. 25-1015, amending the North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan to permit medical uses in the station-district land-use zone.

The presiding officer opened the public hearing on the item, which the council had previously deliberated at first reading. A council member moved to adopt the ordinance "as presented this evening" and Mayor Pro Tem Tim Martinez seconded the motion. The council completed an electronic roll-call vote; the presiding officer announced the ordinance was adopted with four yes votes and one member absent.

The council also considered, and continued, a separate first-reading zoning ordinance (No. 25-1014) related to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to a future meeting. Staff said recent changes in state law require additional review and asked that the ADU item be pushed to December so the ordinance can be revised to reflect the new legislation.

The council approved the consent calendar by electronic vote earlier in the meeting; no items were pulled for separate discussion.

What happens next: Ordinance No. 25-1015 will take effect according to its terms and the city will proceed with implementing the plan amendment in permitting and planning processes; the ADU-related ordinance (25-1014) will return to a future meeting after staff completes statutory updates and public notice as required.
