The record, at case level

Of Daniel Ryan’s 3 unique cases, 2 have concluded — reached a Planning Commission or ZAP decision — and 1 of those ended in approval at their final hearing: 50.0%.

Counted once per case, not once per hearing: a case postponed several times before approval would otherwise read as several losses and one win.

Hearing-level rates, for comparison

Postponement rate vs the fieldDaniel Ryan: 0%, Field median: 44%Daniel Ryan0%Field median44%
Approval rate 60.0% — above the field (46.1%) by 13.9 pts.

At the hearing level every appearance counts, so a case postponed N times adds N postponements and one decision. Hearing-level approval-of-decided is 60.0% (vs the field’s 46.1%) and postponement is 0.0% — both far from the case-level figure above, for exactly that reason. Two stages, two denominators: these are commission-stage outcomes (approve vs. postpone/deny at the Planning Commission or ZAP hearing), not the City Council vote. Once a Commission-recommended case reaches Council it is approved in the high-90s%, so a low commission-stage approval rate reflects strategic postponement, not defeat.
