The acknowledgement form says I need to supply addresses for all property within 300 feet. Why is the Planning Department telling me I need to supply more?
A. Ballot Measure 56, approved in 1998, expanded the definition of which properties are entitled to notice. It was not written very clearly, and has yet to be thoroughly hashed out in court. In cases likely to have a larger-than-average financial impact, the department may ask for addresses from a larger area. This is to protect both the city and the applicant — if a property owner entitled to notice under Measure 56 does not receive that notice, the property owner can take legal action against the applicant long after the normal appeal period has expired.
