Thank you for your efforts! The city should not do business with David Kay. In his last failed investment property, he lied to the city about including affordable units so he could get exemptions for the number of parking spaces and how close he could build to the sidewalk. Once it was built with the city's money, he reneged. A lien was put on the building and he sold it without disclosing to the buyers that the place was hopelessly infested with bedbugs and cockroaches.
Kelsey: I cannot comment on the accuracy of what you have written. I have heard planning staff say that each application is assessed based on the property and the proposal and not on the track record of the applicant.

Not checking a developers record is a problem, it allows bad ones to continue.
