- Carter Acres final plat (FP‑02; 706 S. 122nd St.): staff recommended approval of a two‑lot final plat (Lot 1 = 3.65 acres; Lot 2 = 10.37 acres). The commission approved the final plat by roll call, 5–0; the item will go to council Aug. 10. (Agenda item 5.)

Items that remain pending or that received substantive public comment
- Lynn Valley preliminary plat (agenda item 9) — staff recommended approval with conditions but noted the traffic study is pending; the public raised traffic and safety concerns. The plat hearing remains open and staff said developer responsibilities for utilities and right‑of‑way will be clarified during plat review.
All approved items will be considered by the City Council at its Aug. 10 meeting for final action.
