Having been identified as meeting these eligibility criteria and all applicable guidelines, the following applications will be approved at this hearing:
• Applicants whose projects are listed under this heading NEED NOT APPEAR at the hearing. Following the hearing, you will be issued a Determination Sheet to present at the Inspectional Services Department (1010 Massachusetts Avenue) as proof of project approval when applying for permits.
