Residents urge transparency after denied certificate of occupancy and question Title 14 consistency
Summary
Two residents told the board they were denied a certificate of occupancy and have been unable to obtain the specific Title 14 code citations that explain the denial; they asked the board to review the conduct around a related police memo and to enter their formal complaint into the public record.
During the public‑comment period on June 8, 2026, Lindsay Binham and Rebecca Griffin described a sequence of events they say began with a police report on May 20 and a concurrent denial of a certificate of occupancy for a business. They said written code citations for the denial were requested multiple times but were not provided, and they asked for transparency and equal application of Title 14 zoning and permitting rules.
Binham said she and her husband possess video documentation that contradicts the police report and asked the board to review the conduct surrounding the police memo. Griffin said she reviewed the Develop901 permitting records and the Planning Commission materials and observed inconsistencies in processing times across businesses; she noted Title 14 runs to about 600 pages and asked that specific code sections be provided to help business owners comply.
Both speakers asked the board to officially accept and investigate their formal complaint and to ensure clear, consistent communication of code requirements. The board took no immediate action on the complaint during the meeting; the public‑comment period closed and the board proceeded to agenda items.
