A copy of the minutes of our May 13th, 2026 regular agenda meeting were sent to all the commissioners in advance. Were there any changes or corrections needed to these minutes? Seeing none, do I have a motion to approve? I have a motion to approve by Commissioner Maddox. I have a second by Commissioner Blake. Please cast your vote. Motion passes six to nothing with one abstention. Next on our agenda, we have four zoning cases to discuss. The first two we will not be talking about very much tonight. The first one is entitled PD 25-17, roughly located at 2002 Wynne Terrace. This is an application for approval of a planned development for residential RM12 for its cottage community with a development plan on approximately two acres. Prior to the meeting, the applicant requested an indefinite continuance. This will require a vote by the commission, so I hereby ask for a motion, and I will need a second for an indefinite continuance. I have a motion by Mr. Blake, Commissioner Blake, and I have a motion to second by Commissioner Sumter. Please cast your vote. Next case, PD 25-21 addressed at 1013 North Musquete Street. This is an application for approval of a change in zoning from entertainment district overlay, residential single family 7.2 to a plan development for residential medium density with a development plan on approximately 0.924 acres. Prior to this meeting, the applicant requested a continuance to the June 17th, 2026 meeting. This will require a vote by the commissioners. I do need a motion to approve. I have a motion to approve by Commissioner Sumter and a second by Commissioner Blake. Commissioner Sumter, would you state your motion, please? Yes, I move to continue zoning case PD 25-21 to the June 17th, 2026 planning and zoning commission hearing. Thank you. Commissioner Blake, is that your second? It is. Thank you. Please cast your vote. Motion passes seven to nothing. Next on our agenda is SUP 26-01, located at approximately 911 South Davis Drive.
