Granted the appeal in part and found that the Department of Building and Safety (DBS) erred in preparing to issue Supplemental Building Permit No. 24026-10000-00086 because compliance with Performance Standard Nos. 3, 4 and 5, pursuant under LAMC Chapter 1, Section 14.00 A.7(a)(3), (4) and (5), was prematurely cleared. Recommended the DBS not issue a use of land building permit for a new recreational vehicle park as a Public Benefit Project until all of the required performance standards under LAMC, Chapter 1, Section 14.00 A.7(a)(1) through (12) have been satisfied or a Conditional Use Permit has been approved and that any project plans submitted be consistent with those cleared by the Department of City Planning.

Grant the appeal and find that LADBS erred in preparing to issue Supplemental Building Permit No. 24026-10000-00366 because compliance with Performance Standard Nos. 3, 4 and 5, pursuant under LAMC Chapter 1, Section 14.00 A.7(a)(3), (4) and (5), was prematurely cleared. Instruct LADBS to revoke any and all prior permits associated with the new recreational vehicle park project, and not to issue a use of land building permit for a new recreational vehicle park as a Public Benefit Project as currently proposed.
