The record, at case level

Of Victoria Haase’s 33 unique cases, 27 have concluded — reached a Planning Commission or ZAP decision — and 26 of those ended in approval at their final hearing: 96.3%.

Postponement is a clock, not a verdict: of the 14 concluded cases postponed at least once, 13 still ended in approval (92.9%). At least 14 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.

Hearing-level rates, for comparison

Postponement rate vs the fieldVictoria Haase: 57%, Field median: 44%Victoria Haase57%Field median44%
Approval rate 40.4% — below the field (46.1%) by 5.7 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 40.4% (vs the field’s 46.1%) and postponement is 57.3% — 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.
