01 / The recorded outcome

04 / What this record does not establish

The boundary of the finding

  • The city’s 2023 proposed-unit totals are an historical snapshot, not current completions.
  • No inference that every settled proposal was approved or built.

Latest cited status: May 9, 2023 procedural settlement verified; individual parcel dispositions after that date require separate records.

One property. A dated record. A clearer next move.
