New Milford council adopts ordinance limiting commercial vehicle and boat parking in residential neighborhoods
Summary
The New Milford Mayor and Council adopted an amendment to the borough's land‑use code that restricts parking of commercial vehicles and boats in residential districts; the public offered no comments during the hearing and the ordinance passed on a roll‑call vote.
The New Milford Mayor and Council on a final reading adopted an amendment to Chapter 30 of the borough's code tightening rules on parking commercial vehicles and boats in residential districts.
Mayor Michael Katrino read the ordinance change and opened the public hearing; no members of the public spoke. Council then moved to adopt the measure, and the council recorded affirmative roll‑call responses during the final reading.
The ordinance amends subsection 30‑28.9 (parking of commercial vehicles and boats in residential districts) to align local rules with current conditions and to clarify limits on commercial vehicle presence in residential neighborhoods. The administration presented the change as an update "to accommodate the current commercial" vehicle situation and to reduce potential neighborhood impacts.
Council members voiced no public opposition at the hearing. The mayor said the public had been given the opportunity to comment during the hearing and that none had come forward.
The ordinance takes effect per the borough's standard adoption schedule; the clerk will post the finalized ordinance and any implementation instructions in the borough records. The council did not specify any separate enforcement schedule during the meeting.
