Update zoning law to fix errors and match state requirements

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved the first reading of updated zoning rules that fix technical errors and conflicts in the city's current regulations. These corrections will ensure zoning decisions follow consistent standards and comply with state law and the city's General Plan. The changes are largely administrative fixes to clarify confusing language rather than major policy shifts. The ordinance will return for a required second reading and final vote in two weeks.
