The commission addressed five agenda items during the session, with all items ultimately being tabled for future consideration. The meeting included seven motions and votes, and one public comment was heard during the proceedings. All five cases before the commission—including matters involving Humana, Inc. (St. Joseph East Expansion), Wynndale Subdivision, R. Walker Properties LLC, Lail Interests LLLP, and Atlas I LLC—were postponed rather than decided, indicating the need for additional review or information before final determinations could be made. ## Attendance The following members were present at the meeting on April 28, 2016: • Mike Owens • Will Berkley • Patrick Brewer • Mike Cravens • David Drake • Karen Mundy • Frank Penn • Carolyn Plumlee • Carolyn Richardson • Joseph Smith • Bill Wilson All eleven members were in attendance. No members were reported as absent or late for this meeting. ## Votes and Decisions The meeting included seven unanimous votes, with all 11 members present participating in each decision. **Minutes Approval** Mike Cravens motioned to approve the minutes of the March 24, 2016 meeting, seconded by Carolyn Plumlee. The motion passed unanimously 11-0, with all members voting in favor: Mike Owens, Will Berkley, Patrick Brewer, Mike Cravens, David Drake, Karen Mundy, Frank Penn, Carolyn Plumlee, Carolyn Richardson, Joseph Smith, and Bill Wilson. **Development Postponements** Six development-related items were postponed by unanimous votes: • **DP 2016-28 (HUMANA, INC. ST. JOSEPH EAST EXPANSION AMD)**: Karen Mundy motioned for postponement, seconded by Carolyn Richardson. Passed unanimously 11-0. • **DP 2016-39 (WYNNDALE SUBDIVISION)**: Frank Penn motioned for postponement, seconded by Carolyn Richardson. Passed unanimously 11-0. • **MAR 2016-11 (R. WALKER PROPERTIES, LLC)**: Frank Penn motioned for postponement, seconded by Joseph Smith.

All votes showed the same composition of members voting in favor, with no opposition or abstentions recorded for any item. The consistent postponement of multiple development projects suggests these items required additional review or documentation before proceeding to final consideration. ## Public Comment One member of the public addressed the meeting during the public comment period. Janet Cabaniss spoke on behalf of the Stonewall Neighborhood Association regarding the postponement of the Wynndale Subdivision item. She indicated that the association had no objection to the postponement and expressed appreciation for staff's assistance in helping to contact the applicant about the matter. No other public comments were recorded for this meeting. ## HUMANA, INC. (ST. JOSEPH EAST EXPANSION) (AMD) The commission considered agenda item DP 2016-28, an amendment to the Humana, Inc. St. Joseph East Expansion project. Louis Dixon served as a key speaker for this item. The proposed amendment includes several facility improvements and additions: • Additional parking facilities • Construction of a helicopter landing pad (heli-stop) • Addition of a maintenance building • Improvements to existing loading dock areas The amendment represents modifications to the previously approved development plan for the St. Joseph East medical facility expansion project associated with Humana, Inc. Following discussion of the proposed changes, the commission decided not to take final action on the amendment at this meeting. Instead, the item was postponed to allow for additional review and consideration. The matter will be taken up again at the commission's May 12, 2016, meeting. The postponement suggests that commissioners may have needed additional time to review the technical details of the proposed amendments or that there were scheduling considerations that prevented full discussion of the item during this session. ## WYNNDALE SUBDIVISION The Planning Commission considered agenda item DP 2016-39 for the Wynndale Subdivision during the April 28, 2016 meeting. The proposed amendment involves depicting a townhouse development with the required parking accommodations. Jihad Hallany served as the key speaker for this agenda item, presenting details about the subdivision proposal to the commission members. The commission did not reach a final decision on the Wynndale Subdivision proposal during this meeting. Instead, the item was postponed to allow for additional review and consideration. The commission scheduled the matter to be taken up again at their next regular meeting on May 12, 2016. No specific concerns or detailed discussion points were documented for this agenda item, as the focus was on the procedural matter of postponement rather than substantive debate about the merits of the townhouse development proposal. The outcome of this agenda item was that it was tabled pending further review at the subsequent meeting. ## R. WALKER PROPERTIES, LLC The commission considered agenda item MAR 2016-11, a petition by R. Walker Properties, LLC for a zone map amendment. The request sought to rezone property from Agricultural Rural (A-R) to Neighborhood Business (B-1) zone. Richard Murphy served as a key speaker during the discussion of this zoning petition. The commission ultimately decided to postpone consideration of this item, tabling it until the May 26, 2016 meeting. No final action was taken on the proposed zone map amendment during this session. The specific details of the property location, the rationale for the requested zoning change, and any public comments or concerns raised during the discussion were not captured in the available meeting records. The postponement suggests the item may have required additional review, documentation, or public input before the commission could make a final determination on the zoning amendment request. ## LAIL INTERESTS, LLLP The meeting addressed agenda item MAR 2016-7 regarding a petition from LAIL INTERESTS, LLLP for a zone map amendment. The petition requested changing the zoning designation from Agricultural Rural (A-R) to Light Industrial (I-1). Jacob Walbourn served as a key speaker for this agenda item, though the specific details of his presentation or role were not detailed in the available materials. Rather than proceeding with discussion or deliberation on the merits of the zoning change request, the item was postponed. The meeting participants decided to table the LAIL INTERESTS, LLLP petition until the May 26, 2016 meeting. No information was provided regarding the reasons for the postponement, whether it was requested by the petitioner, staff, or the decision-making body. The outcome indicates that no action was taken on the proposed zone map amendment during this April 28, 2016 meeting. The postponement means the Agricultural Rural zoning designation remains in effect for the property in question until the matter can be reconsidered at the rescheduled May meeting. ## ATLAS I, LLC The meeting addressed agenda item MAR 2016-10 regarding ATLAS I, LLC's petition for a zone map amendment. The company requested to change the zoning designation from Planned Neighborhood Residential (R-3) to Neighborhood Business (B-1) zone. Jacob Walbourn served as a key speaker during the discussion of this zoning matter. The item was ultimately postponed, with the meeting being tabled until July 28, 2016. No specific details were provided in the available materials regarding the nature of the proposed development, the location of the property in question, or the reasons for the postponement. The zoning change from R-3 to B-1 would represent a shift from residential planning to neighborhood business use, which typically allows for small-scale commercial activities that serve local communities while maintaining compatibility with surrounding residential areas. **Outcome:** The agenda item was tabled and postponed to the July 28, 2016 meeting for further consideration. --- ## Decisions - **Motion** — passed (11-0): Approval of the minutes of the March 24, 2016, meeting - **DP 2016-28** — postponed (11-0): Postponement of HUMANA, INC.
