Why it matters: The unanimous votes on multiple items move several large development and zoning matters forward in the county’s review process; the items affect housing, commercial development and corridor redevelopment in multiple council districts. The McDonald's and Spacemaker self‑storage matters were not finally decided and require further staff work or council review.
