Item 7c · hearing · Approved · 0:07:31
5-1 5 ayes, 1 nay, roll call at 0:51:12 as heard, unconfirmed
Roll call read by the secretary from 'Vice Chair Patel,' (0:51:12, word timing), after a motion to 'approve the application number P2025-0138 with a condition outlined in the staff report' (0:50:55) and 'Can we get a second?' (0:51:09); no second heard; mover not named. The answers rest on the full pass and the re-transcription without VAD of 0:51:12 to 0:52:31 (line 0:51:12, word timings). Patel, called at 0:51:13: no answer in the full pass before 'Commissioner Conaway,' (0:51:15); the re-transcription has 'Aye' (0:51:13) at p 0.07, below 0.5: not-voting. Conaway: 'no' (0:51:17, p 0.75 full pass; 'No', 0:51:15, p 0.92 re-transcription), words only, no reason given: nay in both passes. Stamato 'aye' (0:51:20, p 0.86; 0:51:19, p 0.99). Capers: comments on the community's concerns, then 'but I vote aye' (0:51:34, 'aye' p 0.98; 0.68 re-transcription). Kaplan: comments on parking and landscaping, then 'so I will vote yes, aye.' (0:51:58 to 0:51:59, p 0.99 in both passes). Gangadin, called as 'Madam Chair Congadent?' (0:52:00): comments, then 'So my vote is aye.' (0:52:27, p 0.96 in both passes). Announced: 'Motion carries. Five in favor, one opposed.' (0:52:28 to 0:52:30, both passes). Heard: 4 ayes, 1 nay (Conaway), which does not match the announced 5-1 because Patel's answer is not heard at p 0.5 or above in either pass; not credited by elimination (EDITORIAL.md section 4). Eligibility: testimony was taken on September 8, 2026 (planning-2026-09-08 item 18); the chair read Capers, Kaplan, Conaway, Stamato, Patel and Gangadin as present at that meeting (0:07:31 and 0:08:02 segments), so every member who answered here heard the earlier testimony. Wick, Barnaby and Little are not called (absent as heard; see needs_checking, attendance). No resolution of this case uploaded to EnerGov since 2026-09-29 (resolutions run 2026-10-17). See needs_checking (7c). Patel: answer as read by Adam Hanford on the video, or from the clerk's announced count where the audio is silent ('5-1. Patel's aye is very soft'). Published on Adam Hanford's decision of 2026-10-18. No memorialized resolution of this hearing yet, so the vote shows as heard, unconfirmed (EDITORIAL.md section 4).
