Chair Menin Questions DOT on Application Processing Times

You know, we're giving counsel, we're giving community board review time.

We have a public hearing, we have to notice the public hearing.

So they're each of those things that I just rattled off, and Michelle can get into them in detail if we want to talk about them.

Those things are just months, those add together and form months.

So it is less, I would say, if we have an active restaurant that's engaging with us in the back and forth, we can get the application final very quickly in a matter of a few weeks.

But it's really all these other steps in the process that add on so much time.

Can you give us examples if you don't have them now?

Could you send to both of the chairs examples of restaurants where it's taken a couple weeks from start to finish?

Because I would like to talk to those restaurants because that is absolutely not what we're hearing.

Absolutely.

Yes.

So if you could get that to us by the end of the week, I'd like to have a list of all restaurants where it took a couple weeks start to finish for the examples of that, sure.

Yes, that would be great.

Um, the seasonal nature of the program, which we know the council had that requirement.
