Huachuca City adopts ordinance removing ban on firearms-related home-based businesses
Summary
The council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 2026-03 on second reading to amend zoning regulations and remove the town-level prohibition on firearms-related home-based businesses, a change the mayor said was required to align local code with state law.
Huachuca City Mayor Johann R. Wallace announced the second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 2026-03, a change to Town Code Title 18 that removes the prohibition on firearms-related home-based businesses. "This is something we have to adjust based on state law," Mayor Wallace said during the Feb. 26 meeting.
The council voted to adopt the ordinance after brief discussion. The motion to adopt was moved by Johann Wallace and seconded by Christy Hirshberg; the minutes record the motion passed unanimously. The adoption updates chapter 18.100 (Supplemental Regulations) of the zoning code to reflect state statutory changes cited by the mayor.
The minutes do not specify an effective date for the ordinance. Council members did not record further amendments to the text during the meeting; the action as recorded is an adoption on second reading. Because the change alters the zoning code, it will affect residents and businesses that operate from home and who may previously have been subject to the town's prohibition on firearms-related activities in home-based businesses.
