Notes and provenance: The clerk recorded roll-call votes for each motion; all four items passed by unanimous recorded votes (5–0). Documentation in the staff presentation and the hearing transcript indicate the Fire Station 4 continuance was accompanied by explicit direction for commissioners George Dubin and Steve Goldman to convene with staff and neighbors ahead of the May hearing and to disclose their meetings at that hearing.
Speakers who addressed these items are listed in the Planning Commission record; the Fire Station 4 item generated the most public testimony and technical questioning.
