Matthew Sink sworn in as new planning commissioner; commission handles routine business
Matthew Sink took the oath of office at the Dec. 8 meeting of the Hillsborough County City‑County Planning Commission and introduced himself to the board.

"My name is Matt Singh. I a Tampa Heights, resident," Sink said after being sworn in, describing his professional background in home building and real‑estate technology (SEG 128–136). The chair congratulated the new commissioner and returned the meeting to regular business (SEG 123–125, 143–145).

Following roll call, the commission approved the Oct. 13, 2025 meeting minutes by unanimous vote after a motion from Commissioner Bauchmann and a second from Commissioner Kona (SEG 175–192). The minutes vote established a quorum early in the agenda.

The meeting included routine procedural votes that commissioners described as part of the board's regular oversight and workflow. Those votes are recorded in the meeting actions list and include consistency findings and authorizations summarized by staff and acted on by the commission (see "Votes at a glance" below for details).

The meeting adjourned after a full agenda of presentations and briefings; several items were briefed for later public hearings in February 2026, including a large privately initiated comprehensive‑plan amendment covering approximately 7,944 acres (the "40 Ranch Road" proposal) and multiple county land‑development text amendments that implement state statutes.
