Notes and context: Unless specified above, approvals described were motions to approve items as presented by staff or as modified during discussion. Several items (notably the Covell/Bryant plan amendment and Liberty Park plat) drew extended public comment and follow‑up directions (additional neighborhood outreach, engineering review or mitigation measures). Approvals of plan amendments do not themselves rezone property or grant building permits; subsequent applications will follow separate public processes.
