Impact analysis
Poor communication and delayed resolutions cost staff time and taxpayer dollars and can discourage businesses from locating in Riverside.
If the commission's critiques lead to process fixes, all current and prospective Riverside businesses benefit.
Downtown Experiment bore the brunt of the miscommunication, and other businesses navigating city permits face similar uncertainty.
