the Council added) , changes the review process for non-
controversial uses, adds uses to some zones where they previously
were not allowed as a principal use, and makes changes for
clarification or consistency with other Municipal Code sections.
The amended sections to the Zoning Regulations will go into effect
30 days after final passage of the ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council may, by motion, 1) reject the ordinance; 2) continue
action; or 3) introduce other ordinance language, which does not
conflict with the General Plan or sections of the Zoning
Regulations which are to remain.
