- Pecan Ridge Section 13: Approved the final plat; staff reported no outstanding comments.
- The Ridge at Tamarind: Recommended approval of the preliminary plat pending receipt of revised traffic study and a plat note clarifying private-street maintenance (to be maintained by owners/HOA).
- Fulshear Junction master sign plan: Approved a master sign plan for entry and temporary promotional signs; staff confirmed sign sizes conform to ordinance.

Tabled/Withdrawn
- Pit Stop specific-use permit (Downtown District / Fulshear Junction): Applicant withdrew the item for this meeting; the commission voted to table the item to a future meeting and distributed a resident letter for the record.

Recommended approval to City Council
- Ordinance amendments (CDO Article 2 and Article 3): The commission recommended approval, with staff asked to refine tree-hardship language and offer guidance on allowable size increases for large retail anchors; recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for final action.

Denied
- Zoning map amendment for ~45.112-acre tract on McKinnon Road (estate residential to general commercial): The commission voted to deny the request after public comment and deliberation.

Procedural notes
- Several motions were made and seconded during the meeting; when staff indicated outstanding technical or plat-note issues, the commission conditioned approvals on applicant revision or final staff review.
- Where applicants offered site plans and conceptual uses (for example, Fulshear Crossing and the Ridge at Tamarind), the commission emphasized that site plans are conceptual and that final development agreements or civil plan review would define enforceable conditions.

Items requiring follow-up
- Traffic impact analyses and civil plan review elements for large or potentially high-trip developments (applicants asked to submit required studies and revised plats/notes).
- Staff to incorporate commission clarifications into the CDO amendment language before forwarding to City Council.
