The commission will also review multiple amendments to the city's zoning and business regulations. Proposed changes include updating Title 6, Business Regulations, Chapter 5 regarding beer licenses, and several chapters of Title 11, Zoning Regulations. These updates aim to align the city's alcohol code with language and license types identified by the state and to identify where different types of businesses serving alcohol are permitted.

Additional zoning amendments include a proposal to modify Chapter 29, Animals and Fowl, of Title 11 to restrict roosters from residential and small agricultural properties. The commission will also consider an amendment to Chapter 10, Agricultural Zones, of Title 11 regarding lot coverage allowances for structures in agricultural zones.
