Motel ordinance meeting

At 6 p.m. Tuesday, November 29, Claremont residents are invited to a special listening session in the Alexander Hughes Community Center’s Padua Room, 1700 Danbury Rd., Claremont, that will focus on the city’s proposed motel ordinance.

No decision regarding the proposed ordinance will be made at the meeting. Instead, this is an open forum for citizens to ask questions and elicit feedback on the ordinance. City staff are currently gathering data for the ordinance and will present it next year at a joint police and planning commission meeting.

A Zoom link will be provided so the public can watch the meeting live, and a recording will be made available on the city’s website. Online spectators will not be able to comment live during the session. If you are unable to attend but still want to ask a question or provide feedback, email the assistant to the city manager Katie Wand, at kwand@ci.claremont.ca.us.

More information on the ordinance and the listening session can be found at ci.claremont.ca.us/living/hotel-motel-ordinance.
