WARNER <br /> <br />Councilmember Acosta brought to the Council's attention the difficulties <br />Mr. Hay, the applicant and the business owner of the property at 3731 W. <br />Warner, was having in getting his project processed through the Planning <br />Department. <br /> <br />June Catalano, Executive Director of Planning and Building Agency, <br />explained that the applicant had not submitted all the necessary documents <br />to allow for comprehensive processing of the project. <br /> <br />Councilmembers discussed issues related to the problem such as: criteria <br />for the issuance of a building permit, determination of whether the <br />proposed activity was a "development project" or "tenant improvements," <br />the sequence of review of the various segments of a development plan, and <br />the applicant's willingness to pay overtime costs in order to expedite <br />processing. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 220 AUGUST 7, 1989 <br /> <br /> <br />
