The council approved 10 routine items on consent, including a $700,000 contract amendment for planning consultant work on zoning updates.

The council approved new zoning laws to regulate adult-use cannabis businesses in Richmond. The city previously had no specific rules about where these businesses could operate or what requirements they must meet.

A formal decision supporting net neutrality and free internet access was approved by the council. The city manager will send copies of this statement to Richmond's federal representatives.
