After a City Council referral, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on April 24, 2018 on a zoning text amendment that would restrict infill activity in and around Murphy Lake. A motion to recommend approval failed 1–6, so the Commission did not recommend the amendment. The staff memo to the City Council reported the same result (1–6).

Documented status: Committee recommendation (recorded in draft minutes), Apr 24 2018. Evidence dated . Later outcomes require a later source.
