County Commission tied 2-2 on the roughly 554-acre rezoning, so the motion to approve failed and the application was denied, one day after the companion 3-F Ranch rezoning failed the same way

Notes: Application RZNE-0087-2026, from agricultural land to a planned unit development. Before the vote DCIP dropped a planned power plant from this site, shrank the building footprint and doubled noise setbacks to up to 1,000 feet. The Planning Commission had recommended denial 4-1. With the 34-acre site approved in March and the 238-acre 3-F Ranch application, the DCIP concept covered about 826 acres. Both larger applications were exempt from the county's one-year moratorium.
