WHEREAS, on March 3, 2023, the City’s Community Development Director informed the applicant 9300 Wilshire LLC and its representatives (collectively, “Appellant”) that the applications were incomplete and the City could not process the Applications (“Director’s Decision”); and WHEREAS, on March 9, 2023, the City received an Appeal of the Director’s Decision, characterized as an appeal pursuant to RBMC Section 1-4.01 (“Appeal”); and WHEREAS, on April 6, 2023, the City Clerk sent an email with a letter to the Appellant setting a public hearing for consideration of the Appeal for May 9, 2023 at 6:00 pm.
