2. Minor procedural changes that are not controversial or clarify standard industry practice;
3. State law requirements that allow or restrict by right uses;
4. Incorporation of Director Interpretation of various sections of the Zoning Ordinance that have not been appealed;
5. Consolidate or renumber previously adopted zoning regulations not included in the 2015 Zoning Ordinance Update; and
