City of Upland

The City of Upland City Council meeting on September 29, 2026, included several ordinance actions and infrastructure funding updates. In closed session, the Council unanimously authorized filing a petition with the State Water Resources Control Board challenging the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board’s September 11 adoption of the MS4 permit. The Council also passed an electric-mobility ordinance, amended to prohibit riding covered devices within designated areas during city events, and unanimously adopted an urgency ordinance establishing expedited permitting for electric-vehicle charging stations. The EV-charging ordinance implements state requirements and may affect future installation opportunities; a speaker urged limits on chargers in parks, but no such restriction was adopted in this action. The consent calendar also passed, with no individual items pulled.
