The record, at case level

Of Permit Partners, LLC’s 6 unique cases, 3 have concluded — reached a Planning Commission or ZAP decision — and 3 of those ended in approval at their final hearing: 100.0%.

Postponement is a clock, not a verdict: of the 2 concluded cases postponed at least once, 2 still ended in approval (100.0%).

Unique-case counts here are distinct case numbers. 3 of this record’s hearings also carry a case name but no number — but ~0% of those are the same matter as a numbered case already counted above, so the true unique-case count is a narrow range: 6 numbered, up to ~8 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.

Hearing-level rates, for comparison

Postponement rate vs the fieldPermit Partners,: 80%, Field median: 44%Permit Partners,80%Field median44%
Approval rate 20.0% — below the field (46.1%) by 26.1 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 20.0% (vs the field’s 46.1%) and postponement is 80.0% — 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.
