  • 26 ED1 (or RED1) ADM applications

  • 12 TOC applications, including two withdrawn/terminated at 214 Berendo St & 10605 Eastborne Ave

  • We’ve added Santa Monica permit data! Check out an example here

• Have you heard about Ballot Measure A, which aims to replace the existing 1/4 cent county sales tax with a new 1/2 cent tax to fund homelessness efforts?
