• Zoning case 2025‑177‑Z (406 Charles Road) — Variance denied; applicant Daniel Rios (for property owner Maria Sales) was told the structure could be moved to meet setbacks; commissioners found no hardship and voted to deny the requested variance.
• Zoning case 2025‑213‑Z (MacArthur Marketplace, 8080 Walton Blvd) — Postponed to May 4, 2026 (9–0) due to applicant absence.

• Zoning case 2026‑29‑Z (3102 Dupri Street) — Forwarded to City Council with recommendation (6–3) after neighbor concerns about parking and home size; permit filings on record show total submitted building coverage of about 3,253 sq ft including garage; applicant described planned living area between ~2,500 and 3,200 sq ft during the hearing.
• Zoning case 2026‑47‑Z (1311 Meridian Drive hotel/banquet) — Forwarded to Council with recommendation of approval (unanimous); applicant presented parking calculations showing surplus stalls.

• Zoning case 2026‑57‑Z (2011 East Pioneer Drive, Ultra Coffee) — Postponed to May 4 at the applicant’s request so staff and applicant can refine whether an actual rezoning is needed.
