If the City makes design criteria improvements at the airport, what prevents even larger aircraft, like passenger jets (commercial air service) form using the airport?

The City does not have, and is not required to seek, a permit to operate a commercial airport.  No one is even contemplating creating a commercial airport.    Without such a permit, regular commercial airline service cannot be introduced at the airport.  In addition, there are terrain and other issues that would make it very difficult for the City to make the improvements that would be required to accommodate airlines.  To be clear, the FAA cannot, and an airline cannot, force the City to accept airline service.
