Summary

The Ontario City Council voted 5-0 to approve PDCA 25-021, a development code amendment revising multiple chapters of the City's development code. A council member said much of the change stems from state requirements.

The City Council voted unanimously to approve an ordinance amending the City of Ontario development code (file number PDCA 25-021), which the clerk said revises and clarifies provisions in chapters covering administration and procedures, zoning and land use, development and subdivision regulations, sign regulations, and definitions.

City Clerk read the item into the record, noting that "note of public hearing has been given" and that affidavits of compliance were on file; there were no written communications. After brief comments from a council member — "I think my frustration with this is that 80% of this is due to the state bringing down mandates to us that I wish we did not have to follow" — the council adopted the ordinance on a 5-0 vote. The motion was made and seconded on the record (motion by 'Prada', second by 'Macias' per the transcript), and the Chair announced, "The item passes 5 0."

The ordinance's stated purpose is to clarify local development-code language across multiple chapters; the clerk also noted no public blue cards were submitted for the hearing on this item. The council did not receive written opposition during the hearing and the vote recorded in the meeting was unanimous.
