Appreciate this agenda item and in full support of it! However, staff has mentioned the current number of permits keeps them very busy. One can only assume that an increase of allowed permits by >50% (130 vs 77) could overtax current staffing levels for monitoring, authorizing, auditing and code enforcement. Feel it prudent to reduce the cap to 100 in order to balance permit demand with staff workload.
