A year and a half review for 12 units?! This part of the City is moving slow as Christmas!
The 1.5 yrs is the time between application submittal and issuance, but there’s zero chance that was the review time. It’s possible, if not likely, the application spent the majority of that period in the applicant’s hands for revisions/corrections between (re)submittal(s). Note, for example, the environmental review was approved 9/5/23 and civil engineering/stormwater review was approved 12/11/23, suggesting that plans were (re)submitted and approved in stages.
No doubt various City processes are dreadfully inefficient, of course. Our development review procedures don’t penalize applicants for countless resubmittals so there is often too little effort made to ensure compliance before resubmittal, which needlessly adds review cycles and bogs down the project review queue too.
