Capitol-Medical Center Improvement and Zoning District; modifying certain boundaries and zoning authority. Effective date.

This is a procedural zoning adjustment, not a substantive policy change affecting broader public programs or funding. (2 sentences, as it is a procedural zoning bill)

MINOR
This amendment expands the zoning authority of the Capitol-Medical Center Improvement and Zoning Commission to include three additional property types: public districts and health centers. Previously, the commission only had exclusive authority over commercial, public district, and health center properties, but the amendment clarifies and extends this authority to ensure no other local planning commissions can regulate these specific property types within the district.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to explicitly include 'public district, or health center' properties under the exclusive zoning authority of the Capitol-Medical Center Improvement and Zoning Commission, removing potential jurisdictional overlap with local planning commissions.
SCOPE
Added explicit language to clarify that the Capitol-Medical Center Improvement and Zoning Commission has exclusive zoning authority over public districts and health centers in addition to commercial properties within the district.
