The Board denied forming a standing Technical Advisory Committee to draft data‑center code language (4–2) but directed staff to return a negotiated consultant contract for Board consideration (5–1). The Board voted to initiate Phase 1 for a ULDC text amendment to allow indoor shooting ranges to seek a Type II waiver (motion passed 4–2). The Victoria Village rezoning and associated workforce housing conditions were approved with conditions to require like‑for‑like off‑site workforce units and to prevent automatic conversion to rentals (6–0).

Other unanimous votes included adoption of ULDC flood damage prevention updates and approval of the Countywide Transportation Master Plan receipt and municipal coordination direction (both votes recorded 6–0). The Nash Trail workforce housing item and several consent items also passed by recorded votes noted in the meeting record. Staff will return with the finalized consultant contract for the data‑center work, Phase 2 research and draft waiver criteria for the shooting‑range amendment, and an implementation framework and funding guidance for CTMP priorities.
