Adjournment: Both the Planning Commission and the Land Use Authority adjourned after completing the agenda.
Notes: Where staff or the applicant provided additional technical reports (for example, a Landmark third‑party review for Desert Ridge), those documents are part of the project record and are required before permits are issued. Several items that required only ministerial or minor plat changes proceeded without extended public comment; items involving adjacent residents (C‑24‑19 and Desert Ridge) generated substantive public input and follow‑up conditions.
