The City Council approved a motion introduced by Councilmembers Rodriguez and Lee aimed at streamlining restaurant permitting and inspection processes. This initiative seeks to simplify compliance for local eateries, making it easier for them to adhere to regulations and reducing confusion surrounding allowable equipment standards. Many of these restaurants that stand to benefit from this initiative are located in Council District 9. The next steps involve a comprehensive report from the Department of Building and Safety and the City Attorney’s Office outlining best practices for implementation.
