What happened was when the file transferred from one planner to another it was believed the DP had been circulated to the community association and alderman, when it actually hadn't. Although Administration backs its decision to approve based on the technical merits, and it was advertised, it admitted the mistake in process (although CA and Alderman circulation are not legislative requirements, it is normal practice). As such, no ability to appeal now that the appeal period has passed. I encouraged the applicant to go to the community meeting last Friday to answer questions and engage with the community, which they did. I also understand they are going to talk to the City a bit further about the application and hopefully more with the community.
