(Staff presentation beginning SEG 080; motion & approval SEG 292–303.)
- Goddard application (4881 Murfreesboro Road, ~10.46 acres): Commission approved rezoning from A1 agricultural to C1 neighborhood commercial. Motion carried 7–1 with Commissioner Ribfrow voting no. Commissioners also asked staff to investigate potential reimbursement of duplicated application fees the applicant paid. (Staff presentation SEG 305–369; vote SEG 625–636.)

- Deferrals: Hartville Development (71‑lot preliminary) requested a deferral to December to pursue BZA approval for gated community components and was continued to the December agenda.

Motions were generally decided by voice vote. Where recorded tallies were given, the Goddard rezoning passed 7–1. Items the commission approved will proceed to the county commission where required (notably the PUD overlay recommendation will be considered by the county commission in December).
