Of Nhat Ho’s 5 unique cases, 4 have concluded — reached a Planning Commission or ZAP decision — and 3 of those ended in approval at their final hearing: 75.0%.
At least 2 of these cases are confirmed adopted as Council ordinances (Council records run only through 2026-04-23, so this is a floor, not a rate).
Counted once per case, not once per hearing: a case postponed several times before approval would otherwise read as several losses and one win.

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 21.1% (vs the field’s 46.1%) and postponement is 73.7% — 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.
