Vote recording and next steps

Where the transcript recorded roll-call votes, the commission used its standard roll call format. Items forwarded to council will be scheduled for City Council review; UDC and public works items will proceed to permitting and implementation steps described in the staff reports.

Notes and clarifications • Where an item was listed on the consent agenda but moved to the regular agenda (505 West Lee Street), that item was discussed and separately recommended to Council. • Several agenda items were continued to August 19 or September 2 as noted above. • For items in the consent agenda that included UDC conditions, the commission adopted the staff and UDC recommendations by roll call.

Speakers and staff supporting votes are recorded in the commission transcript and the relevant articles produced by this package include detailed speaker lists, vote records and provenance references for each case.
