Multiple Approvals: If an application requires an approval separately decided by the Zoning Administrator and/or the Director, as the initial decision-maker, and also requires any approval or recommendation by an Area Planning Commission as the initial decision-maker, then the Area Planning Commission where the project is located shall have initial decision-making authority for all of the approvals and recommendations. Similarly, if an application requires any approval or recommendation separately decided by an Area Planning Commission, the Zoning Administrator, and/or the Director, as the initial decision-maker, and also requires any approval or recommendation by the City Planning Commission as the initial decision-maker, then the City Planning Commission shall have initial decision-making authority for all of the approvals and/or recommendations.  (Section 12.36 of the L.A.M.C., Ord.
