HomeMy WebLinkAboutLeibowitz; Additional Materials from Appellant1-page summary of Itai Leibowitz’s arguments for the appeal
Itai has no financial interest in Dan’s property:
1.Itai and Dan are married,but own their homes separately,as shown
by the Grant Deeds and Transmutation agreement per the California
Family Code.
2.Per the Staff Report,the City Attorney comprehensively reviewed all
the attachments for this hearing in 2022 and confirmed that Dan and
Itai comply with all Ordinance requirements.The city then granted
both permits in 2022.
3.Nothing has changed in Itai and Dan’s financial situation since then.
4.The City added a new definition of “marriage =financial interest”to
the Ordinance,contradicting the well-established California Family
Code that the state has spent decades defining and refining.
5.Even if you could disregard California law,the new definition should
apply to new permit applications,not retroactively revoke existing
permits.Council members have consistently said:‘if you have already
been granted the permit,you should be allowed to keep it.’
The City already APPROVED Itai and Dan’s permits in 2022 after
confirming there is NO FINANCIAL INTEREST.The decision to
REVOKE Itai’s permit based on a non-existent financial interest
should be OVERTURNED.
♥Thank you for the privilege of being heard tonight ♥.
I appreciate you putting in the time and effort to reconsider the denial and
provide a fair decision.
