That's one of the most naive comments I've heard in a while.This just isn't accurate. This Hamel person is confusing the _designation_ process with the post-designaton _application_ process. City council would have authority over the initial designation: individual applications (the sort that Hamel's taling about) would still go through the PHC."If a developer wants to make some changes, he doesn't want to be bothered going through the city bureaucracy. It makes the process easier for them if they go directly to City Council rather than they go through this process."
Blackwell's goal is to make this a POLITICAL process, not a "commission" process.
It's no different than all of the other councilmanic proposals currently floating around to remove the Property Tax Assessments from the BRT and turn them over to the Council so that they can use their "prerogative" to determine who pays how much.
All of theses "initiatives" are attempting to return to the way things were BEFORE the Home Rule Charter was passed in the 1950s ... when EVERYTHING was determined by the Political Bosses.
Richardson Dillworth must be spinning in his grave.
