and lastly we have changes to the public notification. notice requirements have become unnecessarily complicate and wasteful. we have 30 different combinations of notice and format which are time consuming and invite simple areas that delay review. the requirements alone generated over three tonnes of paper last year. as you can see, a majority of notices essentially for larger projects are for 20 days. if you are requesting a variance, you get a 20-day notice. if you are doing a code-compliant process, it is a 30-day process. 10-day notice is currently required for d.r. hearings, large downtown projects and eastern neighborhoods projects. many forms of notification do not reach tenants. they are not provided in multiple languages and not access tonight the general public. notification requirements for retained scopes of work today the planning department review backlog. planners have 40 to 60 projects assigned to them and keeping track of various notice requirements creates room for error and delays. this ordinance proposes a simplified
