While the number of applications was fewer than previous years, the nature of development proposals was more complex than typical. In addition to various study session items, the Planning Commission has reviewed three subdivision plats, the special land use for the senior housing project, seven lot splits, eleven ordinance amendments and two pre-application reviews. Major reviews were as follows:
| Name | Location | Size | Status |
| Wendel Court Subdivision | Parke Ln. N. / Church | 16 lots | Denied |
| Wyandot Woods Subdivision | Meridian S. / Horsemill | 26 lots | Tentative Preliminary Plan Approved |
| Manchester Subdivision | Meridian Road and Manchester | 6 lots | Application incomplete |
| Senior Housing | Grays Drive | 50 units | Special land use approved |
The Planning Commission held ten regular meetings during the year.
