be updated in the near future and the Commission would prefer to
wait until that is accomplished as it may address this issue. Jason
Coalter spoke in opposition to the proposed revision, stating that it
targeted landlords. He stated that there are several regulations
currently in place that are not being enforced and raised concerns that
the City would only be adding more regulations that would not be
enforced. The Commission agreed that there are regulations that are
not being enforced and would be taking that into consideration as the
update of the zoning and subdivision regulations proceed. Chris
Hutson spoke in support of the proposed revision, both as a landlord
and as a property owner.

� ordinance and the subdivision regulations. The subcommittee will
