Consent agenda (Item 7, a–g): Approved. Recorded in favor: Walker; Hinojosa Smith; Carol; Nobles; Prim; Kumar; Matthew Hill. Outcome: approved.
PD 319 / 552 Arborbrook Lane (Item 8): Applicant requested a planned-development rezoning to legalize an existing carport that encroaches into the required side-yard setback. The Board of Adjustment previously denied a variance and Planning & Zoning recommended denial (3–1).

Transcript records listed the following council members as opposing the motion: Walker; Hinojosa Smith; Carol; Nevels; Prem Kumar; Matthew Hill. Outcome: failed (rezoning not approved). No permit was granted to legalize the carport.
PD 157R9C — restaurant at 817 S.

Vote recorded in favor: Walker; Hinojosa Smith; Carol; Nevels; Prem Kumar; Matthew Hill. Outcome: approved.
PD 320 TC — Jason’s Deli, 240 Denton Tap Road (Item 10): Approved with conditions.
