The City requires an irrevocable LC for Site Services and Landscaping for every project.

‘All’ they’d need to do is similar for a permit issue in 6 months.

ie.
Get applicant to submit a set list of Consultant Reports with the Application.
City then determines the amount of an LC or Bond indemnifying the City, related to the size of the project and the requirements of the Reports.
$5mil-$10mil..
Permit issued within 6 months.
City building inspector, who inspects the construction weekly, confirms that the project is being built in accordance with the Reports.
If there is an infraction, the City dings the LC for $500k?

That would only happen once in a Development and you can be sure that Developers would build in accordance with the permit and the Reports.

Only other alternative is to delete the Reports process which can drag for years and we know that’s NEVER going to happen.

Try deleting even ONE of the Reports..
