Master plan zoning cleanup ordinance

Summary

The board reviewed its first ordinance from the 2026 master plan reexamination — sweeping out dated or unenforceable zoning provisions, fixing a worship parking ratio that's been 3x too strict, and legalizing restaurants that have operated at Cedar Grove for decades. It comes back for a vote later.
