NOTE: These issues have been deeply frustrating and counterproductive, often requiring extraordinary applicant effort for basic progress. I have documented and shared the supporting emails publicly because the patterns are difficult to credit without direct evidence—and ultimate resolution requires transparency to drive meaningful reforms.

2/5/2024 - 2/8/2024 - 4 Volleys (plus 12/21/2025 - xxx x Volleys ) - Incorrect info on Permissibility
Vanessa Acevedo - District 2 Policy Analyst
Stated MC 20.64.030 prevented ADU in Coastal Zone with no distinction from JrADUs. 20.64.030 was clearly geared for detached structures only based on terms like set backs and height reqs. Nothing in that prevented internal ADUs as was stated by HCD just days after this dialogue.

3/12/2024 - 1 Volley - Kithenette is not a statutory term and should not be an issue
Josh Bowling, Elizaeth Gonzales (HCD Leadership)
A planner at the desk used the word "kitchenette", which I had put on my drawing and was not statutory, and stated my 10x10 Kitchen was too LARGE for a JrADU. I was giving my tenants too MUCH of a Kitchen. This was an email documenting that dialogue and the relevant statutes.
