Montclair council adopts ordinance to streamline ministerial approvals for multifamily housing
Summary
On second reading the council approved Ordinance No. 26-1017, adding Chapter 11.79 to the Montclair Municipal Code to facilitate ministerial approvals for multifamily housing citywide; the measure passed by three yes votes at the meeting's second-reading vote.
The Montclair City Council on second reading adopted Ordinance No. 26-1017, a measure to add Chapter 11.79 to the Montclair Municipal Code that the staff described as intended to facilitate ministerial approvals for multifamily housing across the city.
Councilmember Bierut moved to adopt the ordinance "as presented this evening," the motion was seconded, and the council approved the ordinance by a recorded electronic vote described in the meeting as three yes votes. The city clerk then read the ordinance title into the record: "Ordinance number 26-1017, an ordinance of the city council of the City of Montclair adding chapter 11.79 to the Montclair Municipal Code relating to additional development standard to facilitate ministerial approvals for development of multifamily housing citywide."
City staff noted this was the second reading; there were no public speakers on the item at the hearing. The mayor indicated that three votes were required for adoption at this meeting and that, if the council could not meet that threshold, the item would be continued to the next meeting.
No amendments or conditions were recorded during the public hearing. The measure was adopted at the meeting and will be incorporated into the municipal code per the usual ordinance-adoption process.
