- The Special Commission endorsed the rapporteur’s opinion by 7–2, and a proposal by councilor Aglaylson advanced only through a substitutive subamendment.
- The approved text now goes to the mayor for sanction, and council leadership expects to begin updating the Land Use and Occupation Law in March or April 2026.
- The measure, filed as complementary bill No. 49/2025 with 619 articles, sets zoning parameters, protected areas, cultural heritage tools, social housing zones, and criteria to concentrate high-rises where infrastructure exists.
