Notes: Where the transcript recorded only verbal 'It carries' or 'It fails' without a full roll‑call tally, this summary records outcomes as shown in the meeting record. For items where staff recommended additional conditions, council added explicit site‑amenity or performance conditions that applicants must meet in subsequent permitting and PD documents.
