Of DuBois Bryant & Campbell’s 47 unique cases, 39 have concluded — reached a Planning Commission or ZAP decision — and 37 of those ended in approval at their final hearing: 94.9%.
Postponement is a clock, not a verdict: of the 21 concluded cases postponed at least once, 20 still ended in approval (95.2%). At least 26 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).
Unique-case counts here are distinct case numbers. 19 of this record’s hearings also carry a case name but no number — but ~75% of those are the same matter as a numbered case already counted above, so the true unique-case count is a narrow range: 47 numbered, up to ~49 including the genuinely un-numbered matters. The case-level approval rate is computed on concluded numbered cases and is unaffected.
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 43.8% (vs the field’s 46.1%) and postponement is 53.1% — 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.
