Huachuca City council adopts ordinance to align home‑business rules with state law
Summary
On second reading Feb. 26, the Huachuca City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 2026-03 to amend zoning code language and remove the town-level prohibition on firearms-related home‑based businesses to comply with state law.
The Huachuca City Council unanimously adopted ORDINANCE NO. 2026-03 on Feb. 26, 2026, removing the town code prohibition on firearms-related home-based businesses to bring the zoning code into conformity with state law. Mayor Johann R. Wallace moved to adopt the ordinance on its second reading; Councilmember Christy Hirshberg seconded the motion and the measure passed unanimously.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told the council the change was necessary to adjust municipal code language in light of state requirements. The ordinance amends Title 18, Chapter 18.100, Section 18.100.210 of the Town Code concerning supplemental regulations for home-based businesses. "This is something we have to adjust based on state law," Mayor Wallace said during the discussion.
The ordinance was adopted by unanimous voice vote with the seven present councilmembers recorded as voting in favor: Johann Wallace, Debra Trate, Danielle Cardella, Christy Hirshberg, Nallely Arreola, Cynthia Butterworth and Geovona Thompson. The minutes show no recorded abstentions or opposing votes. The council did not include additional amendments in the recorded motion; implementation and enforcement details remain governed by the updated code language and subsequent administrative rules.
Next steps noted in the meeting record include codifying the amended text in the town code and ensuring any necessary updates to permitting or business licensing procedures are made by town staff.
