Update:
I went with my mom to city hall since the File Manager hasn't returned any her calls, you would think he is working for the developer with the amount of avoidance he has accomplished. Bottom line is this is the first thing that needs to be done, changing one type of District Control to another type of DC. We can submit our complaints and they will be included with the file and will remain there until the building has been completed. We were able to get the name of the 3 guys who are making the application and their lawyer, so I hope they will shed some light on what is going on.

Anyway, if this is approved, then they need to submit a development plan for approval and to go through the same process again after submitting plans etc. If it is not approved, then apparently they can jump through some hoops and still go ahead with application for the development permit.

Apparently parking is a major issue for things like this, and hopefully we can either block it or get concessions for parking from the developer. Now as of next year, all developments must have ample space for parking on site and not rely on street parking at all. This means either the entire front , entire back, or the entirety of 1-2 lots would be turned into parking. My biggest fear is having them put a driveway 2 feet from the property line and have the entire front of my moms house be an area you cant park in. Anyone know what the regulations are for the locations of driveways in relation to neighboring property? or where I would even find the regulations for it? Does it fall under the regular building code?
