A cafe table and chairs would not be. <br /> Councilmember Shachner explained his rationale for the amendment, stating that he did not want <br /> there to be any invalid reasons to deny an application. He further remarked that the resolution <br /> would not have any teeth without putting in this protection to applicants. <br /> Chief Dunphy, Commissioner Meyers, Assistant Law Director Swallow and Acting Director <br /> Milius provided assurances that the administration would not under any circumstances <br /> intentionally fail to review applications. They assured Council that the administration is <br /> motivated to move quickly and will do so. <br /> 3 <br />
