Bayonne council gives final passage to zoning and planning ordinance amendments

The Bayonne City Council ordered final passage of an ordinance amending the Revised General Ordinances — Chapter 33 (planning and development) and Chapter 35 (zoning) — after a second reading and a roll‑call vote at the Sept. 16 meeting.

Councilmember Perry moved the resolution to give the ordinance second reading and to close the public hearing; the motion carried on a recorded roll call and the council later moved and adopted the resolution ordering final passage. There were no protests filed against the ordinance during the public hearing.

The council president said the ordinance had been introduced Aug. 12, published in the Bergen Record and posted on the city bulletin board as required; final passage followed the statutory notice and the public hearing at this meeting. No specific text changes were debated on the floor during the public hearing portion recorded in the transcript.

The adoption completes the formal legislative steps required for the ordinance to take effect according to local procedures and published notices. Councilmembers voted 'Aye' during the roll call to approve final passage.
