The record, at case level

Of Garrett S. Martin’s 1 unique cases, 1 have concluded — reached a Planning Commission or ZAP decision — and 0 of those ended in approval at their final hearing: 0.0%.

Postponement is a clock, not a verdict: of the 1 concluded cases postponed at least once, 0 still ended in approval (0.0%).

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 fieldGarrett S. Marti: 50%, Field median: 44%Garrett S. Marti50%Field median44%
Approval rate 0.0% — below the field (46.1%) by 46.1 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 0.0% (vs the field’s 46.1%) and postponement is 50.0% — 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.
