Fortuna City Council members voted 3-0 on Jan. 20 to introduce Ordinance 2026-781, a zoning map amendment intended to align the city’s zoning map with the Fortuna General Plan Land Use Element and the Mill District Specific Plan, which the meeting record says was adopted in February 2025.
According to the special meeting minutes, the ordinance would amend Section 17.02.030 of the municipal code, which covers the zoning map. Senior Planner Michelle Nielsen of Planwest Partners Inc. presented the staff report. No one from the public commented on the ordinance, and the council continued it for second reading at the next regular meeting.
The minutes also show the council took a recorded vote at a special meeting held at 621 11th Street in Fortuna. The record does not include the ordinance text or a parcel-level map exhibit, so the scope of the zoning changes beyond the alignment described in the minutes is not detailed in the material provided.
