(A) The Commission shall conduct an ongoing review of existing rules promulgated by the city that affect small businesses to determine whether those rules unduly or disproportionately negatively affect small businesses.
(B) In reviewing rules to minimize negative impacts on small businesses, the Commission shall consider the following factors:
(1) The continued need for the rule, including the public policy underlying the rule;
(2) The nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule from the public;
(3) The complexity of the rule;
(4) The extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other local, state or federal governmental rules; and
(5) The length of time since the rule has been evaluated or the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule.
(C) On a quarterly basis, the Commission shall provide the Mayor and the City Council with a report and recommendations concerning rules that should be amended (in a way which is consistent with the public policy underlying the rule) or should be rescinded, in order to minimize the adverse impact of the rules on small businesses.
