The commission approved multiple plats and minor subdivision requests during the meeting.

Commissioners approved the final plat subject to standard conditions and engineering acceptance.
Eagle Warehouses rezoning: Commissioners voted to send a positive recommendation to city council to rezone 1.5 acres at 1502 Spring Drive from R‑5M to C‑3 (commercial corridor) with a concurrent change on the future land‑use map; staff noted no engineering concerns.
