City of Utica Common Council Legislation In Committee Of The Whole

The committee discussed several pieces of legislation, including a resolution to establish a 'Quiet Zone' along the northern railroad corridor in Utica, which requires coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration and funding for safety measures. Additionally, the council reviewed a new comprehensive zoning ordinance update, aimed at supporting sustainable growth and neighborhood business, and a new article for the Code of Ordinances regarding neighborhood retail certificates of use, which mandates regulatory controls and criminal background checks for business proprietors.
