ZTA 25-09, introduced by Councilmember Fani-González in June 2025, would update county zoning to permit alkaline hydrolysis — a water-based decomposition process used in 20 states — as a funeral service option. The amendment received a public hearing on July 22, 2025, and is expected to move to committee before coming to the full Council in September.
