Canyon Lake council approves ZIP‑code effort, EMS fees and public‑safety ordinances; package of ordinances introduced and advanced
Summary
Council passed a consent motion adopting several consent items (including items 3 and 9), approved EMS program fees for FY26/27 with no increase, and introduced a package of ordinances addressing nitrous oxide, kratom/drug products, and paraphernalia; ADU updates to comply with state rules were also advanced.
At its regular meeting the Canyon Lake City Council approved multiple items of routine and policy importance, including measures on the consent calendar, emergency medical service fees, and a package of public‑safety ordinances.
Consent and ZIP code: After a roll call the council adopted the consent calendar with the exception of item 9, which was pulled for discussion. Following debate, council approved a motion supporting the city’s effort to secure a distinct ZIP code—an item council members said supports correct online mapping and sales‑tax remittance.
EMS fees: The council held a public hearing on Item 11 and adopted the Emergency Medical Service program fee schedule for fiscal year 26/27 with no increases; staff said the budget reflects the existing rates.
Public‑safety ordinances: The council considered an ordinance package to restrict recreational sales and youth‑oriented advertising for nitrous oxide and kratom and to update rules on drug paraphernalia (Ordinances 278–280). The city attorney described the set as part of a countywide effort; council introduced the ordinances and took the required initial votes to advance them.
ADU update: The council also adopted Ordinance 282 to update local accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rules to conform with the latest State Housing and Community Development guidance.
